Protest Songs

The Power of Music
In the musical world of today, it’s easy to forget that the protest song once had real bite, to the extent that its singers were ostracised, relentlessly hounded by the establishment and jailed, or forced to live abroad.
On occasion the government would be clever and let the mood rise, until the ensuing violence that boiled over became the focus of attention, rather than the initial subject of the protest.

Here’s a diary of sorts from my weekend at Glastonbury 2011, with my father, the singer Arthur Brown, The God of Hellfire.
I wasn’t going to go this year, but at the last minute, Arthur rang me and had one spare backstage pass for the weekend and was I sure? After talking with my girlfriend Amanda, I didn’t have to think for too long and hopped on the train down to Lewes to meet him.
