When he emerged from the nightclubs of Greenwich Village, Bob Dylan
was often identified as a "protest" singer. As early as 1962,
however, Dylan was already protesting the label: "I don't write no
protest songs," he told his audience on the night he debuted
"Blowin' in the Wind." "Protest" music is largely perceived as an
unsubtle art form, a topical brand of songwriting that preaches to
the converted. But popular music of all types has long given
listeners food for thought. Fifty years before Vietnam, before the
United States entered World War I, some of the most popular sheet
music in the country featured anti-war tunes. The labor movement of
the early decades of the century was fueled by its communal
"songbook." The Civil Rights movement was soundtracked not just by
the gorgeous melodies of "Strange Fruit" and "A Change Is Gonna
Come," but hundreds of other gospel-tinged ballads and blues. In
Which Side Are You On, author James Sullivan delivers a lively
anecdotal history of the progressive movements that have shaped the
growth of the United States, and the songs that have accompanied
and defined them. Covering one hundred years of social conflict and
progress across the twentieth century and into the early years of
the twenty-first, this book reveals how protest songs have given
voice to the needs and challenges of a nation and asked its
citizens to take a stand - asking the question "Which side are you
on?"
