Three Rovics tunes precede the interview while waiting for a call from Denmark where he started his tour: All the News That's Fit to Sing, When I'm President and Hiroshima.
That last song to me reflective of how debased the US corporate political system has become; we are presented with a millionaires pseudo event for the Presidential Election that forces Trump and Hillery as the only option for Commander in Chief. The hype is that we should be afraid of Trump, and we should be, but Hillary's track record and absence of empathy frightens me more. We are likely to find our selves "caught off guard" as did the people of Hiroshima when they were incinerated on the order of US political, corporate and academic leaders as an object lesson for the Russians and a demonstration of what science and industry can accomplish with public money. Hillary and her militaristic advisors despise the Russians and openly seek regime change to perpetuate global hegemony. The point of "modernizing" the US nuclear stockpile, the B61-12 specifically, is to make it usable. The Russians understand that even if the majority of Americans do not. http://nukewatch.org/B61.html

Most of Rovics music is available free at his web site or on youtube. Truly an anti-capitalistic cultural model.
