	Reviews of the Book
		Hollandsworth does succeed in doing is providing glimpses of an era in which generals openly dabbled in politics and politicians who had not spent a day of their lives in uniform could be made major generals in command of thousands of troops.
		Banks was a patently political appointment, rewarded for being a major power in the House of Representatives and Massachusetts politics, and an inept field commander in West Virginia, Louisiana, and Virginia.
		Hollandsworth manages to create an understandable picture out of the morass of Louisiana politics during the Civil War, and shows readers the role Banks played in attempting to bring the state back in to the Union.

	Music and Politics - October 1987
		Music and politics have long been tied, one influencing the other in often subtle ways.
		But one legacy of the past regimes was that political comment in songs was stifled, unless it stood for one or the other of the Duvaliers.
		This time, political candidates seem to bear the brunt of the artists in a rap-a-billy content-oriented type song.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GA-GH
		This album is showing only the tiniest hints of Gabriel's later interest in World Music and international politics, but even the most commercial of these compositions are still tinged with progressive leanings, particularly Larry Fast's synthesizer Synerg isms.
		"Games" is clearly a political song, though I must say I'm too obtuse to really get what he's talking about.
		This album was a giant step in the direction he would take for Security, especially in the songs "Intruder", "Not One of Us" and the song that got radio and some MTV airplay, "Games Without Frontiers".

	Talk:Katyusha (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Katyusha is a Soviet song often related to Communism and the soviets, and although it is a song of a quite pleasant melody and its lyrics are about love and have nothing to do with politics, it can displease people who are against Communism.
		Just heard the song again and my Russian wife confirmed.
		--The comment seems to be unencyclopedic and Molobish: I don't see how the song is related to Communism or soviets

	Model Interpretation
		“Dixie” (1859), a familiar song from the nineteenth century, was composed and performed by Dan Emmett (a white native of Ohio) in 1859 when he was a member of the Bryant& troupe in New York City.
		The chorus to “Dixie” (“I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!” etc.), tells us what we already know: that sectionalism and slavery were important issues in American politics in 1859, particularly in defining the distinctness of the South and the North.
		Even so, “Dixie” remained one of Abraham Lincoln& favorite songs and he requested it be played for him a few days before his assassination, saying “I have always thought ‘Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard.

	RASPUTIN: THE REALITY SHOW :: SYNOPSIS
		Rasputin is disoriented from the stress of politics and severed roots, as he speaks with Praskovye who reprises THINK ONLY GOOD THOUGHTS.
		After a nightmarish carriage ride, and a comic sexual temptation, the emcee warns Rasputin of the seductive perversions of power in THE POWER SONG.
		Grigori Rasputin is brought out from the audience, a figure of unassuming stature, much like the historical Rasputin - and is stripped of his street clothes to reveal his crude peasant beginnings.

	Forgotten Soldier Boy: War and the Politics of Country Music
		In one wonderful song, a mother stands quietly in the snow outside a little railway station, maybe somewhere in the hills of West Virginia, waiting for the coffin of her soldier son to arrive.
		A related song is Charlie Daniels's "Still in Saigon," in which a Vietnam vet is trapped in relentless memories of the war, and the confusion and paranoia that issue from them.
		This song is by one of the most improbable country singers there has ever been, Kinky Friedman.

	The Foremen: Folk Heroes
		But the golden days of the topical song in the current century was during the 1960s when the folksingers of late Fifties and early Sixties became the protest singers of the mid-1960s at the height of the Vietnam War, the civil rights and free speech movements.
		Topical songs about politics are a great tradition that goes back to the earliest days of this country.
		Zimmerman started writing songs that were a sendup of the old style of the Kingston Trio, the Limelighters and others of their day.

	Vietnam Songbook
		We felt that the protest song as a viable form of political discourse was severely challenged and decided to put on a concert, and show, by example, how people had once been able to express their thoughts.
		The “people’s songs” of the 1930’s and 40’s influenced the civil right’s song’s of the 50’s and 60’s, which grew in a common form of expression against the Vietnam War in the 60’s and 70’s.
		On the eve of war in 2003 it seemed that any artists or musicians who spoke out against the current administrations policies were quickly shouted down in the media and warned that their job was to entertain, and that politics was best left to politicians.

	'Dixie' now too symbolic of old South, not of origins
		The irony about "Dixie" is that the five-verse song was written by a Northerner with little interest in politics, and whose parents were strict abolitionists.
		Because "Dixie" is now synonymous with slavery, racism and hatred, the music historians say, it was wise for the Woodland Hills School District to postpone this week's scheduled marching band performance of a Civil War program that included the song.
		The song, like many minstrel show tunes, was critical of authority.

	lost socks' politics & indie music blog
		I guess the song's kind of different in a way as it has what could almost pass for latin freestyle vocals tinged with an almost Projekt gothy mood melded to that omnipresent post-Korn ugly metal guitar sound.
		Maybe all the ugly touches the song possesses wouldn't have been possible from a Wilsonian named band in the first place...
		Should I like the song better because of the reference...concentrating on the interesting genre blurring (that may all be in my mind) taking place before the shouts and ugly guitars kick in?

	MSN Encarta - Literature Guide - Animal Farm
		Why is the song âBeasts of Englandâ important to the animals in the beginning of the novel?
		The ponderous political implications of the novel, however, are deftly interwoven into a fantastic tale of animals that talk, walk on their hind legs, write laws, spout propaganda, and commit crimes, all in the name of equality.
		Although a clear distinction is made at the beginning of the novel between Jones, as the representative human, and the community of animals inhabiting the farm, the focus quickly shifts to the animals once Jones is overthrown and specifically to the rivalry that develops between Snowball and Napoleon.

	Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages--Jiang Qing
		Eventually, a compromise was found in the condition that Jiang would restrict herself to the role of housewife and would refrain from playing any role in politics.
		Jiang Qing (1913-1991) was born as Li Yunhe in Zhucheng, Shandong Province.
		I personally always thought that the poster below, made in 1976 and published a year later, was an allegorical way of showing the defeat of Jiang.

		He became active in politics and in persuasive writing late in his life, and contributed lively, pithy essays and pamphlets illustrating the many ways in which government protections and limitations to free trade often go awry because of failing to consider their economic side-effects.
		Jeremy Bentham, British social philosopher and political activist, was the founder of the word "utility" in economics.
		His youth was spent in the company of the intellectual elite of his day, including Jeremy Bentham, who interested him in Utilitarianism.

	Why Song failed - AdJab
		I suspect though I have no evidence to support it, that if Song was as successful and profitable as it seems they were, the reason they were killed has a lot to do with internal politics and little to do with business.
		when i flew song, i was greeted by a salsa-music-playing, ultra-stereoyped speedy gonzales-type character playing on the sound system, covering all the usual topics about safety etc that flight attendants would have done.
		Yes, Song probably went too far with the stores and maybe Delta will keep the best parts of Song, but as a Song frequent flyer I am going to miss them.
