If you want something a little stronger than this, check out Jesse Welles' "Join Ice," preferably the live version from Colbert's Late Show. Biting satire at its finest. It's on YT and I highly recommend going to listen. While songs will not slay physically, they can bolster spirit among targeted groups and their allies. The confirmation that you're not alone versus a mythical "silent majority" can be the helping hand one needs. Movements need anthems because they need voices to alert, encourage, and hopefully unify toward a common good. Regarding Guthrie's guitar message, I don't think he meant physically at all. Music has the power to change minds and educate, and education is a key weapon against fascism. I don't have any doubt he inspired and educated people with his message. Many of them likely fought in WW2 and they indeed killed fascists. There was a Jesse Welles segment on CBS Morning News today. I was skeptical - BUT it was pretty good. Quote
