rebel hero

i was born, innocent and helpless
as i grew, following a leader
now i know, i can use my own words
not the one, streching me for so long
i will be the one to show,

anybody else who wants to stand up to the man
Rebel,Rebel, I\’m a rebel, we are, heroes heroes
Rebel,Rebel, I\’m a rebel, we are, heroes heroes

We need a theory to continue.

This is a song by Kelly and David from their album, \”Kelly and David as the Twilight Auguries.\” It was written in tribute to Salud Zamudio, a farmworker in Central California who died while working during an intense heatwave. It was inspired by an article in the LA Times about him and the conditions faced by migrant workers. It also features a guest appearance by Otoño Lujan from Los Pochos on accordion.

A Lesson

Wilde1 — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:10:26 +0000

A song inspired by a true story of a U.S. soldier who left the army after witnessing atrocities during a two year tour of duty in Iraq. He has since joined a growing league of patriots in the ‘war resister’ movement.

The video for the song is currently #34 on the charts at Neil Young’s ‘Living with war Today’ site. Visit the site and give it a click. If you have a song or video submitted, let me know and I’ll return the favour.

This remarkable song tells the terrible story of Schapelle Corby, the political game which has taken her life away from her, and the awful media campaign which hides it.

When You Tried To Tell The World

This song tells the terrible story of Schapelle Corby, the political game which has taken her life away from her, and the awful media campaign which has been running for years to hide it. It exposes the truth.

Schapelle Corby is illegally imprisoned in a squalid cell in Indonesia, having been sentenced to a shocking and brutal 20 YEARS in March 2005 for a crime she did not commit. She suffered the most blatant of show trials: a trial in which evidence was simply an inconvenience, to be ignored and destroyed as quickly as possible.

This song was produced in April 2009 to protest at the lack of any effort to help her. The song was written by Al Wilson, and is performed here by Holly Wilson.

Perfect Sight No Vision

jointheopposition — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:38:36 +0000

Perfect Sight No Vision is the first and one of the most powerful protest songs written by Greg Stewart which he has been playing and performing at open mics throughout New York City for the past five years.

Although Greg finished writing this song five years ago he actually began writing it when Regan was still in office and carried the music and uncompleted lyrics around in his head until George Bush unfortunately gave Greg plenty of material to finish the song.

This version of Perfect Sight No Vision was recorded by Greg’s band Join The Opposition for their first cd which has recently been released and is currently available on Amazon Music MP3 for downloads and will soon also be available on itunes.

In a symbolic gesture Greg Stewart dressed as a dead soldier and created the character the “Unknown Soldier” in order to Wake Up America and help focus attention on the War in Iraq and the criminality of the George Bush Presidency. As the Unknown Soldier Greg performed “Perfect Sight No Vision” on multiple occasions including in front of the Military Recruitment Center in Times Square New York City, The Stock Exchange, The Supreme Court in Washington DC and the White House. Greg has recorded video of his solo protest with director of photography Matt Dimakos and posted videos of his live perfomances on youtube channel “jointheoppsotiion”, where you can currently view over 180 videos by Greg.

Most recently the band has uploaded a music video of “Perfect Sight No Vision” which can be seen on youtube channel ‘jointheopposition’ and which is titled “Sarah Palin + John McCain = More of the Same.
