One of the things that we really haven’t had in the last decade or so is rock music. It just doesn’t exist in mainstream music anymore. It’s really weird. I suggest that if the kids of Parkland want to really effect change, they’re going to need to start writing some rock songs.
If things are going to change, if we’re really at an inflection point, a tipping point, when it comes to the gun debate, then music has to be taken into account. The protest rock of the 1960s helped focus the attention of a lot of people and I think similar music with similar lyrics would do something today as well.
