PopTodd Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 And I am now obsessed with trying to find out what it was.It was one of those that was so bad, it was like a train wreck. I could not turn it off because I just had to see how much worse it would get.It was a sort of rootsy-grungy rock song. Playing was competent, production was competent, singing was competent, even if there was no real melody to speak of. And that is where the problem resides: the SONGWRITING. So, so awful.Not just no melody, but the lyrics were so trite and yet self-important at the same time. It was obviously a protest song of some sort, but it really really had nothing new to say... just spewing cliches and jingoisms:"The blood is red but the money is green....""We have to rise up..." And then, they had the balls to steal a line from Wilco:"I want a war on war..." Anybody have any clue who this could be? I've done some preliminary searching, but all that I come up with is the Wilco song "War On War" (which I do like). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 "What's Up?", 4 Non Blondes?No. I know that song. This was worse. At least the 4NB song has a melody.And, it was a male singer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I found that too. Not nearly as bad as what I heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Maybe you could narrow it down by looking at the performance lineup for the inauguration. Surely it's by one of those acts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
