Jesus Christ, I miss great protest songs. Since they started buying up all the radio stations in the early 2000s these songs have disappeared from popular culture!!!
And, props to Steven for going out swinging! Every week he drops another gem.
As a musician, I think that this guy is an amazing, AMAZING talent. It's effortless. And that's not even taking into account his incredible abilities as a lyricist. And that's still not accounting for the importance of those lyrics. Good stuff maynard
People got really mad at Jesse for what one of his songs said about that guy who died a while ago. We gotta remember to keep the unified front, if this guy isn't on our side, who is?
The sad part is that it's too subtle. There will Absolutely be people who think this is completely straight faced, and in favor of ICE, and their actions..
I mean this really IS the problem, you're right/ We've made stupidity a right. And it shouldn't be, we all should be encouraged constantly to read, learn, and better the world. Willful ignorance is the worst.
As tone deaf and corrupt as the current administration is, they'll probably steal the song to use for their own advertising, completely failing to grasp the actual meaning, just as they have with every other woefully misunderstood "pro-America" song they've stolen and used.
"People must love me. They throw free stuff my way all the time. I got a tomato last week. And just a couple days ago someone gave me a brick with a personal note written on it! So thoughtful!"
Je literally says "Charlie shouldn't have died" in the song. That said, the ingredients in Charlie's cake were pro-gun rhetoric and hate, so, I think we've seen what kind of cake that makes.
While I get where you're coming from and I agree with you, there are plenty of folks out there (and I'd assume, from that song anyway, that Jesse is one of them) that think all life/human life is precious and that no one deserves to be murdered. I can't really fault him for that.
Which, going back to my first comment, to me doesn't gel with his line "the ingredients you got bake the cake you get" from his song United Health. Indicentally the song which got me into him in the first place.

He's like new age John Mellencamp (that's a complimentary statement btw).

I wonder if there were satiric bards like this before the nazi's had their earlier go?
Spiffytown
Yes, they were eliminated early.

Really giving "Join the British Army" vibes, this song.
"When I was young I had a twist, for punching babies with me fists. Was then I thought that I'd enlist, and join the British Army..."

Search up his song about United Healthcare. It's actually better, in my opinion, but both are great.

You know it's getting tough out there when folk music gets good again.

He’s really talented and the music he makes is really well done. It’s also hard to listen to because it’s so dang depressing to hear.

Happy to see him getting this kind of visibility

It's so cool to see Jesse Wells growing in popularity. He really hit people's radar with his United Health song.

If he worked on playing music as much as those guns we might be able to remember this song

Up there with keep on rocking in the free world and born in the USA, the satire is lost on most people
pareidoliaperson
Well they used Rage Against Machines which is far from too subtle in their campaigns and gatherings. So this would be far from surprising.

There were people who were surprised Homelander was a villain and that Super Earth is evil.

I mean, there are cops that think wear Punisher vests, and they clearly don't see the irony there, lol

They think “This Land is Your Land” is an anti-immigration hymn - there isn’t much going on up there.

A brick with "You suck" is too subtle for some people.
At some point, you have to cut your losses.

So you are saying there is a chance?

Jesse kind of lost me with his song about "Charlie". What happened to "the ingredients you got bake the cake you get"?
imaynotbeasmartmanjenny
Some gun deaths are necessary and dying of gun violence? You know the shit he spewed
Efreeti
Yeah so why did he make such a somber song about his death, with the lyrics "Charlie shouldn't have died"
Soggybathroomsock

Exactly my point

Did you ever find your way back?
Efreeti
Not yet? I feel Jesse had a double standard with the line "Charlie shouldn't have died" tbh
