The protest songs of such great artists as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, U2, Rage Against the Machine, and the Clash represent pop music at its most charged and relevant, providing the soundtrack and informing social change since the 1930s. 33 Revolutions Per Minute is a history of protest music embodied that span seven decades and four continents, from Billie Holiday crooning "Strange Fruit" before a shocked audience to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young paying tribute to the Vietnam protesters killed at Kent State in "Ohio," to Green Day railing against President Bush and twenty-first-century".
