Minutes To Midnight

In the last few years since the Iraq Wasr began there have been an increasing number of songs and albums that carry a certain anti war message. One of the leaders has been Linkin Park. There new Cd Minutes to Midnight is an anti war cd that follows with their past anti war messages. The war is not a popular one in the minds of the American public and now artists are using that to both sell more albums and have new things to sing about all while singing about something that is important to them and impacts everyone. The can used their status as recording artists to try and effect the American public and maybe this will lead to a change. Especially with the primaries coming up and the NAtional Election following that maybe if enough artists get there message out about the war it can have an effect on what happens with the war in the future. This war is really effecting the music culture just as wars in the past and other large momentous events have caused similiar changes in the past. This is nothing new to the music industry and hopefully it continues because it can really help bring about change by making the current events more relevant to younger people.
