He has a thousand songs, from memory such as :

- And so much more, i.d.k.
YT Music banned him in November, without explanations nor possibility to appeal as usual, he thinks it may have been linked to this song, but how can he knows.
Of course he’s no millionaire, so if you’re ever interested in his agitprop consider donating and gain access to all this, or not, i’m just saying
A lot of his songs are about the history of past struggles of the american worker’s movement, or historic figures, as well as many songs against Israel(, being of jewish origins himself), or on landlords/‘rent control’. https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/all-the-news-thats-fit-to-sing
I.d.k. if it’s linked, but a few months ago, after so many decades, he turned to a.i. music(, which he justified by many posts, e.g.), where he’s producing almost one song per day(, he’s already at the tenth album in ~four months) ! https://youtube.com/channel/UCeaMkZIylEBdx8ue4cfkeEg
Each album has its own guided tour
Did you strike a blow ? https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/strike-a-blow-against-the-empire
Make some noise
where
he’sthe AI is producing almost one song per dayHe’s making the lyrics though 🤷 https://youtu.be/SoxYAJ8hXao
he turned to a.i. music
Lol, no
He made 45 albums in 30 years without using a.i., so there’s still that.
So?
Quantity doesn’t mean quality, and that much work without even being a one hit wonder…
Isn’t exactly a positive
Some of his songs has hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube i.i.r.c.
Some more selections(, none with a.i.) :
- His most violent song, directed at his landlord when he increased the rent for the 9th year in a row https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/letter-to-my-landlord ;
- « Who gave you the right to be a landlord, to live a life of ease while others toil ? » https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/landlord-2 ;

AI crap & asking for donations.
Get fucked.
Only a.i. for the last months and regular music for the last 30 years. Do as you want for donations, i naively expected more support against censorship.
Take care 🤷
Writing this on “We pushed a nazi flag to all” substack is funny. Also, AI slope
Weird that you all thought that the interesting thing here to comment about is his a.i. use, i guess censorship isn’t a surprise to us, it feels like it was more important 10 years ago, or perhaps i’ve imagined it.
No one believes that we are/‘should live’ free. And an egality of what if not an egality of freedoms ?It’s not your fault, and we’re powerless anyway.
