I Hear America SingingWalt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it
should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
work, The boatman singing what belongs to him in his
boat, the deck- hand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing
as he stands, The woodcutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way
in the morn- ing, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work,
or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to
none else, The day what belongs to the day—at night the party
of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. 1867

“When you say America you refer to the territory stretching between the
icecaps of the two poles. So to hell with your barriers and border

I pledge allegiance to my Grandma For that banana pudding, our piece of Americana...Built a republic, that still stands I’m trying to lead a nation, to leave to my little man’s Or my daughter...The scales was lopsided, I’m just restoring order...The streets raised me, pardon my bad manners I got my liberty, chopping grams up Street justice, I pray God understand us I pledge allegiance to all the scramblers

what is the political?
Hannah Arendt: the activities of ordinary citizens who through the
exercise of their agency in contexts of public interaction shape the conditions of their
collective existence, spaces of communal identity, and social
action

art as a form politics can take
John Street: music’s political potential shouldn’t be limited to either sonic
cause or measurable musical effect. “Music embodies political values and
experiences,” he writes, “and organizes our response to society as political
thought and action. Music does not just provide a vehicle of political expression,
it is that expression.”

I believe, in fact, that attempts to bring political protest together with ‘popular music’- that is, with entertainment music- are for the
following reason doomed from the start. The entire sphere of popular music...is to such a degree inseparable from consumption, from the
cross-eyed transfixion with amusement, that attempts to outfit it with a new function remain entirely superficial.
And I have to say that when somebody...accompanies maudlin music by singing something or other about Viet Nam being unbearable, I find, in
fact, this song unbearable, in that by taking the horrendous and making it somehow consumable, it ends up wringing something like
consumption-qualities out of it.

Los Hermanos Banuelos“El Lavaplatos” 1926
One day very desperate,because of so much revolution,
I came over to this side of the borderwithout paying the immigration.
Oh, what a fast one,I crossed without paying anything.
On arriving at the station,I ran into a friend,
who gave me an invitationto work on el traque.I supposed el traque
would be some kind of warehouse,but it was to repair the track
where the train ran.Oh what a friend,
how he took me to the track.When I got tired of the track,
he invited me again,to pick tomatoes and thin beets.And there I earned indulgences
walking on my knees;about four or five miles
they gave me for penance.

TROUBLE EVERY DAY. 1965.
Wednesday I watched the riot . . .Seen the cops out on the streetWatched 'em throwin' rocks and stuffAnd chokin' in the heat
And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'Hopin' for the bestEven think I'll go to prayin'Every time I hear 'em sayin'That there's no way to delayThat trouble comin' every dayNo way to delayThat trouble comin' every day
Hey, you know something people?I'm not blackBut there's a whole lots a timesI wish I could say I'm not white
'Cause the fire in the streetAin't like the fire in the heartAnd in the eyes of all these peopleDon't you know that this could startOn any street in any town
