Happy Birthday, David Rovics! May your day be filled with more joy than a protest song at an anti-globalization rally. You've serenaded us through wars, injustice, and corporate greed—proving that the guitar truly is mightier than the sword (and definitely easier to carry around).From passionately challenging the Iraq War in 2003 to tirelessly advocating for social justice worldwide, you've inspired countless hearts and minds. Your music remains timelessly relevant—much like your ability to rhyme "corporate globalization" without missing a beat.
Here's wishing you another year of powerful lyrics, memorable melodies—and perhaps fewer reasons to write protest songs!
