If there's any hope for America, it lies in a revolution. And if there's any hope for a revolution, it lies in Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara." These words by Phil Ochs, an American protest singer, reflect the power of the political use of music (Street, 2003). Since music is a strong way of expressing inner thoughts and feelings, it reveals the political views and stands of people; thus serving as a political tool. Music has the power to get massive crowds pumped up, which is why it is used to bring support to various causes. In war times, governments used music as propaganda to boost nationalism and promote fighting. In addition, music is used in elections numerous times. From a different standpoint, many musicians benefited from music as their resistance. Rock and roll was the voice of anti - war protests in '60s, folk music stood for civil rights (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, 2012). These examples also proves us that music is closely related with issues going on at a certain time; just as soul music, which focused on lives of Afro - Americans in '30s. All of the things mentioned above show us music and politics are inseparable. Music is just not about entertainment, it's the reflection and expression of people; therefore music serves humans as their truth bearer, so the political use of music should be done strongly and continuously.
