Follow the lead of Alexie Navalny
John Lennon, Give Peace a Chance (1969). Lennons first solo single after leaving The Beatles hit number 14 on the Billboard charts despite being recorded in one take in June 1969 while he and wife Yoko Ono were holding a bed-in in Montreal.
Five months later, half a million people sang Give Peace a Chance at a protest rally against President Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War.
Imagine, jlennon was perhaps the most significant peace song.
Ohio Niel Young
Written and recorded in the aftermath of the massacre of four students on the campus of Kent State University, on May 4, 1970, Ohio resonated immediately and became identified as one of the anthems of the anti-Vietnam War movement. It has endured as a masterful, signature piece of political activism as songwriting.
I just belive the music industry is sitting out their opportunity as designated movers of mass messaging thru song.
What happened to that?

But when people from invading countries step up, its more powerful. Heck Taylor Swift might influence a lot of Russians.
Peace.

There should be more concerts. More from the music industry. They have so much power.

None of what I have heard is outside of this realm.
