In times of hardship and war, it is evident that people with a strong sense of unity, strength, and character come together against their common enemies. Whether in the holy name of civil disobedience, or under the overtly powerful command of rebellious protest, America&#8217;s history overflows with eras of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad Religion expresses a very politically-charged message in many of their songs. Their values are magnified by their hyperbolic lyrics and punk-rock sound. Possibly one of Bad Religion&#8217;s most influential and interesting songs is &#8220;Let Them Eat War&#8221; from the album The Empire Strikes First.
&#8220;Let Them Eat War&#8221; is a song about society, government, poverty, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rock propagates bigotry. Have a favorite band? Someone else does as well and it is probably not the same. Love a specific genre? Bet someone hates that particular kind of music. That&#8217;s bigotry right? Bigotry according to dictionary.com1 is a stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one&#8217;s own. [...]]]></description>

It is very easy for an audience to blame artistic talent and creativity on drug use.  Almost anything that is truly creative in today&#8217;s world is blamed on the use of illegal drugs.  Is it really the drugs that cause artists to create these magnificent pieces?  Can one really say that the man or woman [...]]]></description>
