You can also use "Star spangled banner" from Jimi Hendrix.

"Riders on the storm" from the Doors?
Those are some great suggestions. Thanks.

Do you have any suggestions for where I can go to get to good quality tracks of these songs without paying huge royalty fees for this not-for-profit project? I think I need mostly instrumentals. I worry that the vocals will compete with the narrations.

But please don‘t donate to feminist organizations because they usually do bad propaganda against men and intensify the "civil war" between the sexes. Please have a look at organizations like "A voice for men".

I don‘t want to politicize this thread but I just give you a very meaningful quote from Hillary Clinton:

You don‘t have to be conservative to criticize feminism and the gender circus. And I personally think that feminism and gender is one of the loser topics for the political left.

So if you are happy about my proposals I would be happy if you ignore feminist organizations.
While I totally agree with you that some extreme feminists organizations go overboard and become man haters, most are addressing a real problem. Down through history, women have suffered at the hands of (some) men. As a male, I never really understood this until I was in a psychology class in graduate school. The class was Gender and Ethnic Issues. I was one of only 2 men in a class of about 40. Several of the women in that class were openly man haters. The assignment for the entire semester was for each student to embed themselves in an organization supporting a group that you were not a member of. At the end of the semester, we were to write about our experience.

As a white male, I could join a women's group or a minority group. I chose to join a women's group. To make a long story short, what I learned was that our society and culture is heavily geared in favor of men. It is not necessarily geared against women, as it is against many minorities, but this actually makes the solution more difficult in some ways, because the barriers are mostly covert or barely visible.

Hillary Clinton is a good example of your point about the political left shooting itself in the foot (and sometimes in the head). She is elitist, arrogant, and corrupt. So I would never support an organization that had her mindset. Anyway, I doubt this project is going to generate much in the way of profits.



Do you know if it is appropriate for me to post the link to the first of my YouTube videos? I want to give anyone who cares some idea of the project and what music would be appropriate.

Thanks very much for your suggestions and observations.
