Moi Say Moi back in 2006 (yes, that was an actual year of our lord, people):
Why is it only Bruce Springsteen who's doing topical protest music, instead of younger bands, people of my generation? We’ve been in an illegal war for over 3 years, we lost a whole American city while the president was on vacation, yet black people are still singing about ho's and bling and white dudes are singing about why the pretty girls don't talk to them even tho they have the first Cat Power single on vinyl. Bruce is 56 years old and has more money than God, yet is moved and angry enough as a person and an artist to say something about it; where are all the other bands' protests, where is their outrage?
When I first saw this guy popping up all over social media I thought he was AI-generated; he seemed to have a song ready to go for every breaking news announcement as it happened. Now we see him exploding onto national television & I hafta say it's nice to see someone under the age of 50 enter this arena (even if 33 isn't exactly a spring chicken in this world, but I'll take it for now.)
