My question is, what percentage of "old school" pop stars do you (Soul Flower) actually think made socially conscious music? At times, when social activism was more prevalant -- such as in the mid-late sixties -- pop artists who wrote songs about current events, such as Bob Dylan and Marvin Gaye, may have been somewhat more prevalent. But in general, how many of them actually said anything other than what current ones are doing (have sex, do drugs, and dance the night away)? You keep mentioning the same ones, and I don't know that I'd need two hands to count them on.
