I Kinda Miss Protest Songs, TBH
-
Timing is everything, and so Nashville-based alt-pop musician Sam Tinnesz's song "Lay Your Weapons Down" happens to be hitting at a time when things are, well, you know. The song wasn't initially written about the mass shootings and gun control, but, again, timing. Which is an interesting topic for you, when music and movies and TV shows take a stand, do you go down the stick-to-sports route or is being on top of the zeitgeist what artists (and actors, and athletes) should do? Does it depend on if you agree with the sentiment in the song? And if you were around in the '60s when protest songs were in the Top 40, whose side were you on back then?
