...how long now...

The review said John Mayer's song "Waiting on the World to Change" could very well be the greatest anti-war anthem of this generation. I love this song, it's catchy and important. And John Mayer is a wonderful artist. This is not an anti-war song though; it's an anti-action song. I happen to think (I have to think) young people are willing and capable of doing more than waiting around for someone else to fix the problems, and writing the fight off as being unfair. Of course the fight is unfair, it always has been; does that mean we shouldn't fight it? There is no excuse for "standing at a distance" when you know what is happening in the system. A responsibility that comes with knowing is doing.

Alternate anti-war songs:
Metric - Suxxecy
Skids/U2/Green Day - The Saints are Coming
Dixie Chicks - Travelin' Soldier
Beastie Boys - In a World Gone Mad

Those are my picks -- what are yours?
