After having too many thoughts about killing all the white men in suits who never tipped that entered his workplace (which were most of the clientele), he quit that job quick. Since then he has been subsisting as a musician, playing in the streets and subways of Boston at first, and by the late 1990\\u2019s, touring internationally as a DIY protest singer. Except that he hates the term \\u201cprotest singer.\\u201d But that\\u2019s how the mainstream media would dismissively define him and his ilk, anyway, so there you go.\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re using this bio to introduce David at a gig, you can be merciful to your audience and stop there. The music will be better than reading this narcissistic crap. But if you want all the gory details, keep reading (preferably to yourself).\\n\\nDavid Rovics is the best Topical Songwriter, bar none. If you disagree, please tell me who is better, seriously, if there is someone better I want to be listening to them.\\n\\nRovics takes the details of an event or a movement and paints a picture that tells a story and puts that into context, socially, economically, politically.\\n\\n* Eat the Rich | David Rovics : All the News That's Fit to Sing\\n* Welcome to the Working Class | David Rovics : All the News That's Fit to Sing\\n\\nPeople don\\u2019t buy physical recordings much anymore, and most people rarely pay to download anything. \\xa0Mostly people get their music via streaming services these days \\u2014 which is great for exposure, but terrible in terms of paying artists anything meaningful.\\nThis situation has created a crisis for artists, many of whom have been unable to continue recording, touring, etc. \\xa0Those of us who still manage to make ends meet are either getting millions of streams on a monthly basis (pop stars and some others) or we have successfully adopted the paid subscription model of survival, in the tradition of community radio stations and small farmers throughout the US and elsewhere.\\nSo in a nutshell, you sign up through one of the \\u201cSubscribe\\u201d buttons below to be billed annually or monthly via PayPal, and you become a member of my CSA of one sort or another. \\xa0What you get in return is my undying gratitude, plus the other rewards described below\\u2026 http://www.davidrovics.com/subscribe/\\n\\nDavid Rovics just released his latest album Punk Baroque, which includes songs about The Pulse Club mass murder in Orlando, Gentrification, Bombing, Refugees and Standing Rock. Listen to it, buy it on Band Camp.\\n\\n* Minimum Wage Strike | David Rovics : Behind The Barricades - The Best Of David Rovics\\n* I Can't Breathe | David Rovics : The Other Side\\n\\n\\n* Dream Team | Michael Franti & Spearhead : Home\\n\\n\\n* i wanna change it | Otis Gibbs : one day our whispers"
