Sheryl Crow’s New Protest Song ‘The New Normal’

We need more protest songs.

I wish we heard more like this from our musical artists. Sheryl Crow doesn’t shy away when it comes to letting her political feelings out. In her latest song ‘The New Normal’ she certainly lets her voice be heard.

“Is it science fiction or prediction wrapped in George Orwell?”  If the news is fake and fear is hate and nothing’s immoral to the leader of the free world, then welcome to the new normal,” goes the refrain.

I certainly don’t want to think of any of this as normal, new or otherwise. But I like the song and the motivation behind it.

You can listen to ‘The New Normal’ at this link.
