This Week with David Rovics

When the Shooting Ended

Some thoughts on precisely what it is that makes the United States so exceptional.  Spoiler alert:  Europe is full of racists, too, but they don't have mass shootings every day.

Reflections on a Tour: Springtime in Europe 2022

The tour did not involve a visit to Ukraine or even any countries bordering Ukraine, but it was most definitely a war-time tour of Europe.

Waywards Interview

It was an honor to be James Anderson's first interview subject for his new Waywards project. We had an extensive conversation about all kinds of stuff, with a focus on my trolls, and cancellation campaigning in general.

New song: ”Cancel Culture Commander (Ballad of an Anarcho-Puritan)”

Real antifascists don't lead cancel culture cults that target people like me.  The only thing to cancel is cancel culture itself.  Fuck the trolls.  For more information on the nefarious activities of this pseudo-antifascist cult based out of Portland, Oregon, please go to davidrovics.com/trolls.

People Ask Me Why I Seem To Have Nothing To Say

It's a time of war, propaganda, and wildly increasing prices for anyone in the world who eats grain or uses fertilizer to grow crops.

New song: ”When Julian Met Stella”

I didn't manage to get to England to attend last month's wedding of Julian Assange and Stella Moris, but I've written a song.
