As a teen back in the late 80's, Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul's video for this song being all over MTV was the only reason I knew anything about apartheid in South Africa. Music makes a difference.

[@nancywages7029]

One of the best guitarists of all times. He was a very engaged artist for injustices in the world

Estamos em 2023 e nunca esqueci este momento de 1990 Steven Van Zandt ( com cabeça coberta) foi como sempre um elemento espetacular, aliás já estamos habituados à presença dele na banda de Bruce Springsteen. Não desvalorizando Jim Kerr (Simples Minds) Chrissie Hynd (Pretenders) Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Patty La Belle ( voz potente) e Bonnie Rait ( que ganhou um grande prêmio de música country), mas, sem dúvida alguma foi o Steven Van Zandt que teve o seu momento glorioso e que ficará na História da música dos dias felizes.

Damn TTD in the house. He lit it up in the late 80's didn't he. Introducing The Hardline is one of the most incredible albums of that time. That dude had something special for a few years, should have been a generational artist. Too bad it didn't last.

A final hurrah for the electric 80s. Then Grunge happened when everybody wanted to be burnout hippie-punks with no message at all, and things went way downhill from there.

[@Breeze87]

Man I hated grunge so depressing. Thanks MTV you fucked up good music.

[@thegreatergood8081]

Stop acting as though people weren't sick of pop, new wave and hair metal when grunge broke big. When a decade ends, there is usually a cultural shift. Oh, and this song sucked ass and it really hasn't aged well considering what a disaster post-ANC South Africa has been.

Jim & Chrissie were going through a divorce at the time. Chrissie’s mic didn’t work. Coincidence? 😂

[@mikestevenson576]

LOL. Of course, the real reason the mic didn't work is the mics never work in these group finales. Same at Live Aid.

These Ridiculous shows paved the way for whats gone on today with all of these muscians and athletes sticking there political 2cents in..My mother used to say in the 70's "If i am going to pay $500 for a ticket to see Striesand,i want to hear her sing not talk about the war in Viet nam! Great show and great that this footage survived but there are enough issues in thr US to worry about

[@SUPERSCHMOO]

you think there aren't hundreds or even thousands of others who feel their voice is in this sound? music is always a form of rebellion, why wouldn't they do this? the more quiet people are the more the machine can walk over them

[@raisetheflag88]

music is one of the first forms of civil protest. Without a voice, the people are nothing. I applaud every single person involved in these songs. They tell a story, make people aware of situations they might never even think of or care about. Every person involved is sending a message. It's up to you whether you care to hear it or not. The smart ones listen and act.

[@mikestevenson576]

Glad nobody was like that back in the 60s.

Elon Musk was born in South Africa in 1971. His father was an Engineer, a commercial construction developer, and a local polititian. As Elon grew up in South Africa, the white minority was becoming increasingly oppressed. By 1990, the liberals in the United States of America were supporting the oppression of the white minority in South Africa. Here is an example of these liberals putting pressure on the white minority in South Africa, in 1990. - Well, in 1990, Elon Musk said, I am getting out of South Africa, and he moved to Canada with his mother. So, Elon Musk got away from the oppression of the white people in South Africa, and got his freedom in America. Elon was a diamond in the rough, in South Africa. Then, he made it to America, where he could grow. - You can oppress a group of people. But, they will try to survive, and they will get back up. That is what happened with the Musk family.
