What music do they like?
Here’s my link, to the Bruce Cockburn song “Call it Democracy”, probably the only song ever written about the International Monetary Fund:
I’m a huge Bruce Cockburn fan – great songs, political lyrics and he’s one of the world’s finest guitar players. Just one of the incomprehensibly great Canadian singer-songwriters like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, the Wainwright family (Martha and Rufus etc), Leonard Cohen, etc.
