NHPR Featured Playlist of the Month: November
Nick Capodice, Co-Host, Civics 101: These are a lot of songs about protest, war, revolution, and presidents. I was tempted to use Stevie Wonder’s "You Haven’t Done Nothin’" which was a direct rebuke of President Nixon, but opted instead for his other (alleged) take on the same president, "He's Misstra Know-It-All." James Brown’s "Funky President" came out shortly after Nixon’s resignation, but Brown has made it very clear he intended the song to be about Gerald Ford.
Listeners may wonder why Laurie Anderson’s "O Superman" is on here (other than because it’s one of my favorite songs ever created) and I think it’s because of the lines, “When love is gone, there’s always justice. And when justice is gone, there’s always force. And when force is gone, there’s always mom. Hi mom! Here come the planes."
