	Maggie Out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The "Maggie Out" protest song was one of the popular songs sung during the Miners' Strike, student grant protests, Poll Tax protests and other public demonstrations that fell within the time when Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
		Like the song "Nelson Mandela" by ska band The Specials, it was so well loved by activists that once the subject's position changed (Margaret Thatcher resigned from her post on November 22, 1990) it was missed.
		The song was a prominent part of the cultural backdrop of 1980s Britain; comedian Alexei Sayle remarked humorously that he couldn't find his way around London unless he walked down the middle of the streets shouting the words.

	Border crossings: Ann Hui's cinema
		Song of the Exile is about the problems of the mother-daughter relationship in our time, about the impact of socio-historical forces on private life and the crises of identity ensuing from post-colonial migrations.
		Song of the Exile is set in the 1970s but is punctuated with flashbacks to the past, signalled by voice-over as memories of Hueyin (Hui's stand-in, played by Maggie Cheung) or (in the case of events that happened before her birth) as enactments of her uncle's and mother's memories.
		Interestingly, the sea figures prominently in both High Tide and Song of the Exile, although it is raging surf on the shoreline (a melodramatic cliché) that features in the former and calmer deep water (associated with introspection as well as maternity) in the latter.

		The first protest song to reach No. 1 in the U.S. charts, McGuire’s hit was so ubiquitous that he was resented and regarded as a lightweight in the serious folk scene.
		In this case, he chose the protest song, which by 1970 had become something of a moneymaker after the decades of considered and decidedly uncommerical dissent by the likes of Pete Seeger and Curtis Mayfield.

	New Statesman: Freedom's song: Chris Moss celebrates the enduring tradition of Latin American protest song - music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Many artists were forced into exile or prevented from recording; others spun songs from subtle metaphors, keeping their messages hidden from government-appointed censors but not from their fans.
		But these songs have an urgency and underlying sense of rebellion that is far removed from the dreamy rural fantasia evoked by, say, a Fairport Convention ditty.
		One of the strengths of Latin American song is that it stands as an alternative to, and an assault on, the weakness of so many other Latin American discourses, especially those of the church, the mass media and government.

		You move out on Penney's farm, Plant a little crop of 'baccer and a little crop of corn, Come around to see you, gonna 'plit an' plot, Get a chattel mortgage on ever'thin' you got.
		This connection suggests the song is possibly about Dylan's decision to abandon the role of an activist in the Civil Rights movement of the sixties.

		A snapshot like that will probably miss and hit the little old lady sticking her head out of the door to see what the noise is. Indeed, at 100m, a 7.62mm rifle bullet will probably go through three walls and hit her where she's hiding in the kitchen at the back of the house.
		The officer using the gunbot hustles his ass out into an area that would be too dangerous for a human sniper, plants the gun on its tripod and high-tails it to cover.
		Several minutes of a man stopped by police for driving erratically leaping out of his car and rushing the cops, shrugging off everything from pepper spray to several tasers until the cops - who were plainly scared shitless - put him on the ground with their batons.

		The following two songs from the 1960s express such feelings of alienations, the first, The Sound of Silence, by Simon and Garfunkel from the point of view of the alienated individual and the second by John Lennon and Paul McCartney as a commentary on the isolation of others.
		In the second song, the evocation of "all the lonely people" is generalized in the chorus but focused on Elenor Rigby who dies alone and Father McKenzie who buries her alone.
		Women revolted against that command and broke out of the hierarchy, the home and the family to seek better working conditions and better pay - whether those conditions were within or outside the home and whether the pay was a formal wage or a better share of family income.

		The theme song was done by some group called Darling Violetta, I remember reading on their website that people wanted it but they couldn't put it on one of their own albums as they didn't own the rights to it (or something like that)...
		I could go one forever about how great all these songs are, how well they're written both muscially and lyrically, how well they fit into an episode format, how much fun it is to hear the actors sing...
		It's a little strange, I admit, that there are some songs that didn't appear in any episode, but since they reflect the mood of the series quite well I'm happy with their inclusion...

	bobdylan.com: Song & Dance Man III, by Michael Gray
		The classic W.C. Handy song 'Memphis Blues' (he wrote the melody, published in 1912; George A. Norton wrote the lyrics in 1913) was cut by Esther Bigeou at her début session as early as 1921.
		The song was being offered too in the abundant repertoire of the stylish and dapper Mance Lipscomb - who never recorded till 1960, by which time he was in his sixties (though still with a strikingly youthful way of moving around in performance) and had almost a thousand songs he could perform.
		The neatly-structured song may begin and end with bells, but there's slippage and disparity here, from the certainty of "hearing them church bells" to the uneasy conjecture of "it must be convent bells".

		On the left, Margaret Thatcher is generally remembered as somebody who used force to quash social movements, and imposed social reforms that disregarded the interests of the working class and instead favored the upper class and corporations.

		With it sparse production and bittersweet melodies, as on such songs as "High Speed" (which is anything but uptempo), Coldplay has achieved remarkable success (the album debuted at number one and continued to hover in the top ten charts for the remainder of the year).
