Part 2 of David Rovics' 2nd Song of the Soul, plus Minnesota Uprising

David Rovics performing

Last week we got very engrossed in our conversation with David Rovics, so much so that we ended up doing 2 shows of interviewing in one long session, so we have David back this week to provide 5 more songs and the remainder of the conversation. To recap from last week, David Rovics has produced something like 50 albums, and while his style is mostly folk-based, he does some songs which are folk-punk, metal and rock, but there were also a couple years where he was mainly making children's music. First & foremost, he's a powerful voice for protest, activism, social change, and he aims as best he can to make this a better world. We interviewed him back 18 years ago, so this is part two of his second full Song of the Soul & he joins us from Portland, Oregon.
