In recent years I’ve become fond of Folk-rock music, though when I say that I specifically mean the format of a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar. Names like Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen. Maybe part of the attraction is the aesthetic, the travelling troubadour, the bard who entertains with songs and stories. Narrative is an important part of the genre, something I’ve always found appealing in music. I also like the minimalism of just a single instrument and voice.
I spent some time reading about Woody Guthrie and protest songs.
I read about the russian punk rock group Pussy Riot and their guerilla performances. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/nov/15/pussy-riot-nadezhda-tolokonnikova-slavoj-zizek#comments
