BOB VYLAN and the RETURN of the PROTEST song
A deep dive into the music and message of Bob Vylan
Hello and welcome to another SloppyMemes joint! This time I am treating you to a video essay about the punk/rap duo Bob Vylan who recently set the internet on fire with their chant of “Death Death to the IDF” at the Glastonbury festival. In this video I start by discussing the controversy and reaction, and then I get into what I wanted to do professionally as a teenager: music journalism. Like why no live guitar for songs that are guitar driven? Plus a break down of their albums. Please watch, enjoy, and leave feedback! There will be a follow up video to this where I discuss the history of the protest song and many musician related controversies related to the Gaza question.
‘Nuff Said!
