''Social Studies'' is a studio album by Loudon Wainwright III, released in 1999. The album comprises various topical and satirical songs, originally produced for National Public Radio and based upon then-current issues and events, such as the Tonya Harding scandal, the O. J. Simpson murder trial, the lead-up to Y2K, and controversies surrounding comments made by former Republican U.S. Senator Jesse Helms. Regarding the album's topical nature, Wainwright notes: "It's something that no-one does anymore; write songs about current events. When I was young there were a lot of topical songwriters around; maybe folk music had more impact on culture back then. I see these songs as a kind of musical journalism. My father was a journalist, for ''Life'' magazine, and I've definitely inherited something of that approach." ==Track listing== All tracks composed by Loudon Wainwright III #"What Gives" – 3:29 #"Tonya's Twirls" – 3:37 #"New Street People" – 2:50 #"Carmine Street" – 2:57 #"O.J." – 3:13 #"Leap Of Faith" – 2:53 #"Conspiracies" – 2:17 #"Christmas Morning" – 3:36 #"Y2K" – 6:13 #"Number One" – 3:39 #"Bad Man" – 3:21 #"Inaugural Blues" – 3:19 #"Our Boy Bill" – 3:11 #"Jesse Don't Like It" – 4:06 #"Pretty Good Day" – 4:19 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social Studies (Loudon Wainwright III album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
