David Rovics does songs of social significance better than just about anyone. (Long-time listeners to Truth Jihad Radio will remember his "Reichstag Fire" bumper music back in our American Freedom Radio days.)

David's latest essay "How Facebook Killed the Internet" argues:

"Because of the technical limitations of the internet for a brief period of time, there was for a few years a happy medium found between a small elite providing most of the written content that most people in the world read, and the situation we now find ourselves in, drowning in Too Much Information, most of it meaningless drivel, white noise, fog that prevents you from seeing anywhere further than the low beams can illuminate at a given time."

We also discuss music's potential to touch emotions, build community, and inspire quests for truth and justice; where the world may be heading in 2015; and much more.
