Give a listen — the protest songs are out there
The group sings some of the tried and true songs, such as 'We Shall Not Be Moved,' sometimes with the adaptation 'We Shall Not Be Ruled.' BVOCAL also is introducing new protest anthems, including one that spotlights the five freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment.

All singing abilities are welcome. Social justice movements are stronger — more joyful, more resilient, and more powerful — when we sing.

Maybe, as Rebecca Spiess and Alicia Chen lament, protest songs today are not dominating 'the charts,' but perhaps the charts are not the place to look.

Many local songwriters have taken up the task of expressing their outrage, including To quote the chorus of Steve Robb Wayland A song from 60 years ago, when I was 7 years old, played on my Spotify a few weeks ago. I was driving with my 30-year-old daughter, and we both agreed it could also be a protest song for 2025. It was the 1965 Barry McGuire hit 'Eve of Destruction,' written by P. F. Sloan. Paul Ellis Medford An edited sampling of online responses to the op-ed: Great points. I have thought about this a lot lately.

Sir Bob Geldof brands Elon Musk a 'sociopathic loser' in blistering tirade against UK and US leaders
Sir Bob Geldof delivered a fiery address at London's Shaftesbury Theatre on Wednesday evening, branding Elon Musk a 'sociopathic loser' and condemning political leaders in the UK and US for what he described as a betrayal of the world's 'most vulnerable'. The outspoken campaigner appeared on stage following a performance of Just For One Day, the musical inspired by the 1985 Live Aid concerts he co-founded. The show donates 10 per cent of all proceeds to the Band Aid Charitable Trust and has already raised nearly £900,000 since its sold-out Old Vic run and start of its West End run. Lauding the cast for their contribution, Sir Bob praised the musical for turning entertainment into impact: 'They've already built hospitals and schools and stuff like that by doing their job tonight.' But his tone quickly turned blistering as he criticised Musk over comments the billionaire made during a February podcast, claiming he was combating what he referred to as 'civilisational suicidal empathy.' At the time, the Tesla founder was heading up DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, to drastically shrink the size of government by aiming to cut $1 trillion or more in government spending, ultimately cutting thousands of Federal jobs. 'A couple of weeks ago, that prime w**ker Elon Musk said the great weakness of Western civilisation is empathy,' Sir Bob said in response to Musk's empathy remark. 'The great weakness? You ketamine-crazed fool. You sociopathic loser. 'Empathy is the glue of civilisation. Empathy is the glue of humanity,' he added. 'It's how we do things together, how we sit here together and clap because we actually understand that this is the stuff that works.' He went on to accuse US officials of misleading the public over the consequences of recent cuts to foreign aid, claiming at least 300,000 people have died as a result. 'The strongest nation in the world, the most powerful man on earth and the richest person ever in the history of the planet decided to declare war on the poorest, the weakest, the most vulnerable people on the planet' he said. 'I despise them.' The 73-year-old then branded Musk, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and US Secretary of State Mark Rubio 'liars'. 'When they say they're sending food to the starving children of Sudan who are being held captive and starved to death, when they say they are helping gang-raped women who are broken and their panicked children, that's a lie,' he claimed. 'They are not so it's down to us lot and you lot to get scrape a million quid.' Closer to home, Geldof didn't spare the Labour leadership either. He criticised Keir Starmer and Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves for cuts to international aid during a period of domestic hardship while also calling Vlamdir Putin a 'thug'. 'Times are really tough in this country, we need to get more money - 'But really? Really? We're going to stop helping the people you've just clapped for to make a few bucks'. We need to be helped, we need to have the NHS, we need to rearm because there's a thug currently invading our continent, but really? All that intellect, that's all you can do.' 'Snatch it from those people?' he continued. 'No it can't work like that. It doesn't have to work like that and it began not working like that in 1985 and we took it all the way 20 years later to Live 8 and that really tipped the balance in favour of those we want to help. 'This is Great Britain, this country can do anything.'

You Can't Give Teslas Away These Days, but Tesla's Actually Trying To
Free car giveaways are typically associated with TV game shows, radio sweepstakes, or halftime contests, but right now there's one being hosted directly by an automaker. By participating in Tesla's 'TeslaVision' contest, you could score a brand-new Model Y and a private tour of the Texas Gigafactory. In 2017, Tesla held 'Project Loveday,' a video contest named after a 10-year-old fan of the brand who wrote a letter to CEO Elon Musk suggesting that customers submit promotional video clips to make up for the company's lack of traditional advertising. That contest received thousands of submissions and was eventually won by none other than YouTube superstar Marques Brownlee. The TeslaVision Contest Now, Tesla is holding the TeslaVision contest as a follow-up to Project Loveday. According to the company, it's here 'to commemorate launching deliveries of New Model Y in all continents where we operate.' That new Model Y is the so-called Juniper version, which arrived earlier this year sporting hardware updates, a remodeled interior, and a Cybertruck-esque headlight bar. So, the TeslaVision contest—it is, in Tesla's words, 'a global celebration and showcase of the owners and fans who have always recognized the true value and impact of our products.' To participate, submit a video no longer than 90 seconds 'showing how Tesla vehicles give you more in your life—more freedom, more safety, more fun, more convenience.' That video must then be posted to YouTube and shared on X and Instagram with Tesla's accounts tagged, and then those links uploaded in the contest submission form on Tesla's site. In addition to the Model Y winner, two runners-up will get an all-expenses-paid private tour of the Gigafactory outside of Austin, Texas, which produces some Model Ys and every Cybertruck. We Have Some Thoughts Acclaimed as America's best-selling EV, one might imagine that the Model Y is in such high demand that it wouldn't be so available as to be offered up as a giveaway. Evidently, however, Tesla has enough idle inventory to make one the grand prize in the TeslaVision contest. The EV innovator has faced harsh backlash due to CEO Musk's controversial involvement in Donald Trump's presidential administration. It's possible that the TeslaVision contest is being held to gather and then promote positive takes from Tesla fans who remain unbothered by Musk's drastic social impact, and are uninterested in the numerous other EVs from brands that don't have the contentious symbolism that Tesla now does, in addition to potentially longer range, faster charging, better quality, greater comfort, prettier styling, or higher performance. To wit, we question how a video could be created under Tesla's suggested parameters. Regarding 'freedom,' the advantage Tesla once held by keeping its widespread Supercharger network exclusive to its own cars is slipping away as other EVs gain access, allowing rivals to also enjoy road trip ease. Regarding safety, the 2025 Model Y scores the highest five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, as a plethora of other EVs do, but it no longer qualifies for IIHS Top Safety Pick as it did in years past. Furthermore, how Tesla's flagship Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has a propensity to make errors such as veering across a solid double yellow line into the oncoming lane of traffic makes safety seem tenuous at best. About fun, in our testing and assessments we've found Tesla vehicles don't have much to offer beyond the common EV attribute of quick straight-line acceleration, while rivals have superior chassis and handling refinement. To convenience, the spacious cabin, frunk and sub-trunk, and minimalistic layout found in Tesla vehicles contribute to that measure. However, the experience with MotorTrend 's 2023 Model Y long-term review car has often proved incredibly frustrating, such as the finicky flush-mounted exterior door handles, which often do nothing because the car doesn't recognize its smartphone app-based key, or how the cruise control can deactivate when using the windshield washers, or how, for now, using an adapter is necessary to charge on public Level 2 plugs. Hmm, maybe we wouldn't win this contest... positive thoughts! We should also point out the incongruity between asking fans and owners—many of whom likely already own a Model Y, given its ubiquity—to get excited about winning another one. If you're super excited about Tesla and want to show the company just how great you think it is and win a Model Y, you can submit your video clip to the TeslaVision contest website. Act soon, since the contest closes on July 17, 2025 or when 10,000 entries are received, whichever comes first.
