Lennon's regard for the song changed during the 1970s. In Skywriting by Word of Mouth, he called the song "rather embarrassing" and supported Hunter S. Thompson's claim that the anthem was "ten years too late".[14][15] In 1980, he stated that the song "didn't really come off" as it had been "written in the state of being asleep and wanting to be loved by Tariq Ali and his ilk".[16]

The Minus 5 recorded a version of "Power to the People" for the 1995 tribute album Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon. In 2000, Eric Burdon, Billy Preston and Ringo Starr recorded the song for Steal This Movie!, a film about Abbie Hoffman.[17]

The book features 112 songs connected to the Singing Revolution. . . . midchens explores the context of each song - both the events at which it was sung and the speeches that surrounded it - and delves into political science theory and music therapy to better understand how songs became powerful tools of protest.

midchens has produced a masterful blend of historical and cultural analysis and musicology. . . . [A] unique and valuable contribution to our understanding of both the nature and the collapse of Soviet power as well as national movements and nonviolent resistance. The Power of Song will appeal to historians of many stripes and regional experts, anthropologists, musicologists, and specialists in the study of nonviolent and peace movements.

I don't know if Pete Seeger believes in saints, but I believe he is one. He's the one in the front as they go marching in. "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" is a tribute to the legendary singer and composer who thought music could be a force for good, and proved it by writing songs that have actually helped shape our times ("If I Had a Hammer" and "Turn, Turn, Turn") and popularizing "We Shall Overcome" and Woody Guthrie's unofficial national anthem, "This Land Is Your Land." Over his long career (he is 88), he has toured tirelessly with song and stories, never happier than when he gets everyone in the audience to sing along.

But he kept singing, invented a new kind of banjo, did more for the rebirth of that instrument than anyone else, co-founded two folk-song magazines, and with Toshi, his wife of 62 years, did more and sooner than most to live a "green" lifestyle, just because it was his nature. On rural land in upstate New York, they lived for years in a log cabin he built himself, and we see him still chopping firewood and working on the land. "I like to say I'm more conservative than Goldwater," Wikipedia quotes him. "He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other."

Finally got a party trio running and we are working on the setlist now. We do songs like summer of 69, lay down sally, sweet home ala, livin on a prayer, sweet child of mine, get back, back in the ussr, sharp dressed man... I could use tips on great trio songs that gets people asses up and moving... My drummer cant handle SRV and simular train beats just yet... Dont ask:)

I see your point. But how many do you know who can do that? Im having a hard time visualizing me being that person The song has to have a groove to it for people to dance. Can you do that with any tune? My bandmembers isnt on that level, Im afraid, so I have to pick the right songs

I have to agree with whomever said not to limit yourself to 3-piece covers! My band is a 3 piece, and we do a wide variety of covers...from a 3-piece like Nirvana to Incubus, which I think is a 5-piece? It's all about the talent of your members and the creativity you employ to tweak a song performed by 5 to sound good with 3!

It seems I have played in three-piece situations more often lately, so it often takes some creativity to try to get the spirit of a song that has multiple voices and instruments. The lead singer/bandleader of my most recent band would rarely play guitar or sing backup on the songs I sang, so I just considered the band going into "three-piece mode" for those tunes and the band before that, the lead singer wouldn't even do backup for me near the end of my time with the group, so we were basically guitar/vocals, bass/keyboards/vocals (me) and drums/vocals on those songs.

I read an interview with Michael Anthony of Van Halen in a guitar magazine back in 1990. He said when they were a cover band, playing 70s funk and disco songs, they would sing the horn parts for songs like "That's The Way (Uh Huh Uh Huh) I Like It." So, pretty much any song can be approximated as a trio if you are creative enough.

FADEL: Now, the folkies in the crowd were not happy. One famously yelled out, Judas. But the show marked a shift in Dylan's career and the arc of popular music. Now singer-songwriter Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power, has issued a song-by-song recreation of this legendary concert. Will Hermes has this review.

WILL HERMES, BYLINE: Even though it was recorded in Manchester, the famous bootleg of that Bob Dylan show was incorrectly titled "The Royal Albert Hall Concert." Chan Marshall once called Dylan's catalogue the Mount Everest of songwriting. So when offered the chance to perform at London's fabled Royal Albert Hall, she impulsively agreed, with the caveat that she'd play all Dylan songs in a sly nod to the famous bootleg. The live album that resulted from her performance might seem like a ginormous act of hubris but not to me. Marshall is both a brilliant songwriter and song interpreter, now with four full-length albums of cover songs. She's one of our Billie Holidays, Frank Sinatras, Nina Simones, a singer who uncovers new meanings and fresh emotions in classic songs.

HERMES: Of course, Bob Dylan began his career singing other people's songs. He still does it. And many of the greatest recordings of Dylan songs are by other artists. Think Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower."

HERMES: "Cat Power Sings Dylan" is, in a sense, a sort of drag show, demonstrating what Shakespeare knew - how artists can reveal truths about gender and romance through cross-dressing. The album is also a mash note to a fellow singer-songwriter and a torch passing to one of our great torch singers.

I've never seriously listened to Arcade Fire until now, but I've done some research on their latest single "I Give You Power," and I think you're going to like the depth of this song. The lyrics are a tad repetitive but still powerful, and the story behind the song may surprise you even more.

Arcade Fire apparently hasn't released any music in a while, so it was a surprise for this song to drop now. However, considering the topic of the song, it's appropriate to when it was dropped. One day away from President-Elect Donald Trump's inauguration, the song seems to be warning Donald Trump that even though he may have a lot of power right now, he should be careful because the American people can take it all back if they like. To add to this warning, Arcade Fire also seems to want to send a message of hope and encouragement to its fans; they tweeted, "It's never been more important that we stick together & take care of each other." This makes the message of "I Give You Power" twofold and a little more complex.

Further cementing the political theories about this song, it's performed with renowned Gospel singer and civil rights activist Mavis Staple. While I couldn't find much about her thoughts on Donald Trump (not that she hasn't said anything necessarily), her standing as a semi-political figure, at least, politicizes this song further.

The message of hope and encouragement Arcade Fire sent to listeners doesn't seem to be intended to be received the same way by Donald Trump. The lead singer, Win Butler, sings, "I give you power over me / . . . but now I gotta be free / . . . but now I say / . . . I can take it away." This is a clear commentary on what American democracy can do to a Trump presidency. The country has put itself into the hands of Donald Trump and the Republican party, but in two years when the house and part of the senate are up for re-election, or in four years when those bodies and Donald Trump are up for re-election again, the American people can change their minds and limit or destroy Trump's power.

In verse 2 of "I Give You Power," Mavis Staples sings, "I can't watch you take it away," referring to "the power." If Donald Trump abuses his power, Staples and others would have the American people fight back with their votes. ff782bc1db
