Music and politics: Hip hop, hippies and the homeless
from The Sound of Solidarity · host solidarity.net.au
Do members of a band need to be politically in harmony? Can heavy metal, hip hop, or house give us hope? How much stock should we put in Woodstock? What are the politics of Oakland, California, the birthplace of the Black Panthers and once-haven for Black people escaping the Jim Crow South, where over 5000 people were recorded as homeless in 2022? Our guest, Jason Myles, gives us his perspectives on these questions in our third music and politics episode. Jason is the host of This Is Revolution Podcast, columnist for Sublation Magazine and a member of the Oakland-based band Bitter Lake.
