David Rovics to play benefit gigs for Anti-War Ireland Not since Bob Dylan went electric and Phil Ochs succumbed to his demons has America had a “protest singer” and songwriter as compelling as David Rovics. Rovics is so important, and dangerous, because he doesn’t produce dour agit-prop, but witty, passionate and tuneful songs that are ripped straight from the headlines (real and imagined), from “Halliburton Boardroom Massacre” and “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” to “Falluja”. The last, told from the point of view of an Iraqi insurgent, features a powerful rap by Professor D of the Dope Poet Society – showing that Rovics is prepared to transcend comfortable, guitar-strumming clichés. |

Jump To Comment: 1Anybody who wants to download and listen to Rovics music can do so by visiting his site at www.davidrovics.com. He encourages people to download free, though, if you feel like putting a few quid towards the bread on his table, you can also buy CDs via the website.
And having listened to his tunes, if you want to hear the man live, charge into the Dublin gig will be 10 euros (waged), 5 euros (unwaged). The gig in Cork is, I think, 10 euros at the door.
Paul O'Toole is doing support in Dublin - a stalwart of the anti-war movement in Ireland and a guy with a few tunes of his own about Shannon!
