Though I cannot explain why, I believe there are more liberally driven works of music in American society. I’m not basing this off of any facts just observation.
I also think there is less politically driven music today than 20 or 40 years ago. If this is a cultural change that has caused the decline in political music, I’m not sure what caused it. It seems more likely however that it is a corporation change that has caused the decline. Does political music not sell well? Is that why there is less of it today?
