PROTEST NIGHT show 29 NOV/1 DEC 2010

A few weeks ago I posted this blog about students over at my MR YINKA blog, then last week I posted this about zombies.

Last night I though why not put the two together and do a whole show!
Nah, that isn't isn't exactly how it came about but I guess there was a train of thought going on. I feel like though today's current events (broen out of frustration for the times we're living in and the government policies being introduced) are being reported, there is little balance and a definite diminishing, devaluing and underestimation of the strength of feeling out there so...

I decided to play protest songs to match the mood of the country (UK) where students, (school and university) tube workers, the fire department and the general public have all been protesting and/or striking over cuts and raised fees!


Playlist:
1 Curtis Mayfield - If There's Hell Below
2 Nas - Warrior Song
3 Nas and Damian Marley - As We Enter
4 Steel Pulse - Babylon Makes The Rules
5 Peter Tosh - Stepping Razor *
6 Bad Brains - the youth are getting restless
