Slowly the jukebox is beginning to fill up. U2 has joined the list of musicians releasing songs of protest agains the Trump regime’s horrors with a new song, American Obituary, now available on a six-cut EP titled Days of Ash.
American Obituary features lyrics paying tribute to Renee Good, who was horribly murdered in Minneapolis. According to U2 frontman Bono the album, released on Ash Wednesday, contains “reactions to present day anxieties.”
Let’s hope this catalog of protest songs keeps growing, because what we’re protesting about sure shows no sign of slowing down.
