If you just want black social issues, yeah maybe. Waits talks about things like that all the time, Springsteen's Wrecking ball was a very political album, Neil Young's "Living with war" the same, U2 never shut up about it, Marillion have a seventeen-minute track called "Gaza" (shut up Frown!) on their latest album, hell, even Roseanne Cash and Steve Earle are talkin' about issues. So, you know, people are singing about the world we live in and its injustices and inequalities. Maybe you're just not listening to the right artistes.
