November Challenge Thread: All-Stars Edition!

Time to get caught up...

Day 4: @waruv gave us the June 2022 challenge based on Taylor Swift. Mrs. ImTheOcean is traveling to Vancouver in December to see the last night of Taylors tour.
  • Play an artist that you have traveled (or would travel to, given the opportunity) go see.
Well, the planets just happen to be aligned. I'm having a long-distance listening party with @Mather on this one and it happens to be my most recent travel show.

1. Drive 4 hours.
2. Eat dinner and see a blazing rock and roll show with @Hemotep.
3. Drive 4 hours.
4. Consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Such a killer album, just unreal.
 
Day 5: @D Jilla hosted November 2020 when the US last had a presidential election. I think we’ve learned the last few years that its important to use your voice.
  • Play something pointedly political, or by someone who has used their voice for change.
Gonna go with an incredibly important under the radar artist for this one.

Tom Robinson has always been a champion of the oppressed as well as being one of the first openly gay musical artists. He put it all out there in 1977. He has absolutely no fear. Tom's music revolves around eroding human rights and standing up for the marginalized. He deserves so much more recognition than he gets.

Three songs from this record.

PSA: the first video uses the N word spoken in character by someone who minimizes African-Americans.

Tom doesn't attempt to hide his anger and disdain in the second clip.

The third clip is just a fun, rocking song.

If this is your introduction to Tom Robinson, I encourage you to dig deeper and channel his strength and passion for the next four years.
