To get the ball rolling - 4 seminal protest songs from the 1960s:

I wouldn't necessarily say it is a protest song, although probably could be considered one.

But I always find it hilarious when people think Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen is a patriotic song and so forth.

GWAAAAAAHHHHH

It burnsssssss


But seriously, the second one was in text on my AP US test.

Haha, but I predicted that the year 1968 would be one of the essay questions about 15 minutes before the exam and lucked out.

Besides, how do you know about that?

I took the AP exam last year, and am friends with some of the Juniors that took the exam this year. They told me. Just thank God that you did not have the DBQ I had last year, or the AP European History DBQ that I had this year.

I took the Euro last year but I can't remember the topic right now....

Maybe it'll come to me. Or maybe you know?

I would have completely owned the populist one. I written a few research papers on populism.

But I have honestly never heard of the Peasant revolt of 1525, and I made a 5 on that exam. Strange. That must have sucked.

Well I owned the Populism DBQ, got a 5 on the exam.
The Peasant revolt sucked because it was at the beginning of the schoolyear and I hardly remembered the stuff. It had to do with the Protestant Reformation.

I'll talk later, I got to go to bed.
