Music with a Message – Protest Music in the late 20th Century & BeyondStep 1: Choose ONE of the songs below OR select another song which you feel is a modern example of a protest song. If you choose to come up with your own song, please run it by me BEFORE proceeding.Step 2: Read the lyrics, listen to the song and then do a little research about the song and the time period in which it was written.FIRST start with the song itself (good introductory information and the lyrics of many songs canbe found at )THEN search for biographical information on the artists. VH1 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame have biographical information on most performers on their sites. Otherwise, check out Rolling Stone magazine or Pop Culture Universe.Step 3: Create a presentation with the following information:1-2 slides on the artist. Select 5 key or significant events in the artist's life or background that would lead you to suspect he/they will eventually become a "protest" artist. (Include at least 1 picture)1-2 slides on the time period – what was going on politically, socially, economically, culturally thatinspired the artist to write this song? (Include 2-3 pictures)2 Slides on the lyrics and analysis of the song – combine this with visuals in order to tell the song’s story visuallyoYour analysis of the lyrics should take into account the “mood” of the song. How isimagery used? How are poetic devices used? What is the theme?1 slide with your bibliography – cite text sources only.Step 4: Share your presentation with Mrs. Smith via email at smithj9@; be prepared to share in class as well!SongsBob Dylan, “Hurricane” Michael Jackson, “Earth Song”Public Enemy, “Fight the Power”, “A Twisted Sense of God”Rage Against the Machine, “Killing in the Name” Dixie Chicks, “Not Ready to Make Nice”NWA, “F*ck the Police” Lauren Hill, “Black Rage”Bruce Springsteen, “How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?", “Born in the USA”, “American Skin”, “The Rising”, “We Take Care of Our Own”Sage Francis, “Makeshift Patriot” Tim McGraw, “Southern Voices”Babyface with Stevie Wonder, “How Come, How Long?”Dixie Chicks, “Not Ready to Make Nice” Green Day, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, “21 Guns”, “Holiday”Lupe Fiasco, “Around My Way” Tupac, “Changes”Naz & Lauren Hill, “If I Ruled the World” Dar Williams, “Empire”Peter Gabriel, “Biko”Tracey Chapman, “Behind the Wall”U2, “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” Linkin Park, “Hands Held High”Yasiin Bey, “Revelations”, “History”, “Where Are We?”Tune-Yards, “Manchild”Neil Young, “Let’s Impeach the President” Rolling Stones, “Gimme Shelter”Ani DiFranco, “Self Evident”, “To the Teeth” Kendrick Lamar, “The Blacker the Berry”, “I”, “Alright”Tef Poe, “War Cry”Hozier, “Take Me to Church” D’Angelo, “The Charade” Bright Eyes, “Road to Joy”Lily Allen, “Hard Out Here”, “F*ck You” Bob Marley, “Get Up, Stand Up”J.
