Truth is concrete

What did Edwyn Collins have in mind when he was complaining: “Too many protest singers, not enough protest songs”? The Rolling Stones declared at the outset of their career that it‘s all about the singer not the song. Is it the opposite in the case of protest? And do we have to rethink the pre-pop cultural, almost folkloristic state of affairs of a song-without-singer?
