What corporations fear most are consumers who ask questions. Naomi Klein offers us the arguments with which to take on the superbrands.

All the great political music was made at the height of political confrontations.

I was in a little punk band and we put out a few punk records that weren't very political, at all.

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we can achieve.

I try and write honestly about what I see around me now.

I don't mind being labeled as a political songwriter. I've chosen to do that. What really annoys me is being dismissed as a political songwriter. That really pains me, because life isn't all about love; it's not all about politics, either. It's a beautiful mixture of events that absolutely baffle you, and you think, "Why can't I do something about that?", whether those events are in your bedroom, or out there in the wide world. In our daily lives we engage with them at different times, and I'm trying to write about the whole human experience, or my perspective on it anyway.

So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
