potmo @LimousinLil What an awesome topic. I am so sad that I didnt have time to participate. All of a sudden a pile of work landed my way and I couldnt get free.
UkeCan1 Monday twofer: a protest song about a particular category of fools. Todd Snider's "Conservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight White American Males". Something for everyone here, whichever side you might think are the fools. 🤷‍♀️
OnlyUkeThatMatters On April 16, 2026, Tom Waits and Massive Attack released "Boots on the Ground." Here's a ukulele version… And Waits's and Massive Attack's description of their work reads… Film created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist thefinaleye). This montage work portrays a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism. The film quotes statistics and research by the following sources: American Immigration Council, American Civil Liberties Union, Inside Higher Ed, National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, US National Library of Medicine, US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Privacy International, FactCheck.org.

CanadaJim WAIST DEEP IN THE BIG MUDDY - Pete Seeger I'm not really a TWOFER kinda guy, so don't feel obligated to listen twice, but this one just seemed to fit - a protest song about a big fool. I guess "What An Idiot He Is" would have worked too.
LimousinLil And, with Wendy, Ralf and Jim, this week of protest comes to an end. Thank you, All! Something in the way of a wrap will appear in the next few days.
Xamar25 I wanted to post this yesterday but the site was down. “Tribute to Renee” inspired by St James Infirmary. I have posted this before but it’s so perfect for the theme I am posting again.
LimousinLil Tamar, I'm SO sorry, I've only just seen this … I've been a bit absent! Blow the rules, I've added you to the Playlist.
