For days now, the songs "Ohio" and "Chicago/We Can Change The World" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young have been running through my head. Like the worst earworms, they are there night and day; while I'm working, while I'm eating, when I wake up. Unlike the worst earworms, they are a pleasant experience, and I believe represent my desire to act, to do, to have an impact on the current state of our country, our world.

I came of age in the mid to late 70's, when the Vietnam era was coming to a close, when hippies and revolutionaries weren't quite as visible. This music was already several years old, but even then it captivated me. It didn't activate me however.

Now that I've exposed my age, let me further expose my ignorance. Since the evolution of my musical taste seems to have atrophied in my 20's, what is out there NOW with the same messages, the same call to action? I have seen eminem's MOSH and really resonate with it (both pre and post election versions), but other than this particular song, I am completely unaware. My kids are not old enough yet to provide me with this education.

Point me in the right direction,musicologists and those in the know.
