"Often compared to legendary folksingers Pete Seeger and Phil Ochs, David Rovics, in my modest opinion, surpasses them both. Timely, passionate and honest, Rovics' latest cd, a compilation of both new and older songs, is quite simply a masterpiece, as are all of his other cds. I particularly love the songs: "Falluja", "Unknown Soldier" and "Song For Hugo Chavez." I also enjoy "Every Minute of the Day", which in linking the political with the erotic reminds me of Audre Lorde's classic essay, "Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power." Check out his website: davidrovics.com to sample his music. Another awesome topical singer is Ethan Miller. He rocks!"
