PF membership, based on previous threads, clearly contains more than a few music lovers. I though that this would be a good place to toss this around.
Another CJ professor and myself are beginning a research project. We are looking at the portrayal of police/CJS in popular music across the various genres. We are data mining now and in search of songs that contain these portrayals. They can be just about anything as long as it is a little more than a vague reference.
If anyone has a song from any genre in mind just reply with "song title" / artist and, if you are feeling it, add what specific reference is in the song. I can see this leading to some fun discussion.
Examples: "Gang shit" / Marlon Craft or "Don't take me alive" / Steely Dan or "American skin (41 shots)" / Bruce Springsteen or "Police truck" / Dead Kennedys
Thanks in advance!!
