He has a thousand songs, from memory such as :
- An hommage to Fidel Castro : https://www.davidrovics.com/songbook/commandante-fidel-alejandro-castro-ruz ;

- 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, but even before that he produced more than 45 albums in 30 years) ! https://youtube.com/channel/UCeaMkZIylEBdx8ue4cfkeEg
Each album has its own guided tour

Make some noise
Somebody post Saint Patrick’s Battalion on here for Saint Patrick’s Day a couple years ago and I’ve been digging him ever since. Yeah, hopefully pops up over on peertube, it’d be a good get for whatever instance he joins.
Less success on reddit obviously, i suppose that i painted him as more of an extremist than he is https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/s/GLDuidzb6F (https://redlib.nohost.network/r/fantanoforever/comments/1qid5vw/comment/o0rdw8f/)

Lol. Yea, I wouldn’t expect much from either of those places.
If this were a war seems rather relevant lately.
