1. Vietnam Era Protest Songs and Beyond

2. Consider:
Why do you listen to music? How does music make you feel? Does music serve different roles in your life depending upon your mood, who you are with, or what you are doing?
Does music ever cause you to think differently or want to rise up or support some cause or action?

3. Listen and Annotate
I have chosen four iconic protest songs from the era. Consider why I chose what I did for you to listen to and discuss. Are they successful in your opinion?
-Fortunate Son by CCR
-For What It’s Worth by Buffalo Springfield
-The Times They Are A-Changin’ by Bob Dylan
-War by Edwin Starr
