Lynskey addresses this relationship by describing the social movement that relied on the music to spread his message. Una historia detallada de la canci???n protesta, uno de los g???neros musicales que mejor han definido el siglo XX. Para Lynskey, la obra fundacional de este g???nero es "Strange Fruit" que Billie Holiday interpret??? por primera vez en 1939. En esa canci???n se reun???an la calidad musical y la denuncia de una situaci???n ignominiosa. Es importante insistir en esa reuni???n de calidad musical y denuncia porque ???ste es el criterio que rige este libro por encima de otras consideraciones. Pete Seegen, Joan Baez o Bob Dylan fueron pioneros de una carrera en la que los relevar???an REM, U2 o Springsteen. Porque, al llegar a cierto punto, m???sica popular y denuncia parecen indisociables. Lynskey se ocupa de esta relaci???n describiendo los movimientos sociales que se apoyaron en la m???sica para difundir su mensaje.
