Home. The Conversation - Six - Jan Lundberg by TheConversation. Songs of Petroleum - the Autobiography of Jan Lundberg, Ecology Activist. Songs of Petroleum is the autobiography of Jan Lundberg, ecology activist, musician, and the driving force behind the Culture Change website.
He has had a fascinating life, being the son of Dan Lundberg, an oil analyst and pioneering TV talk show host, and having been both an oil industry insider and ecology activist fighting against oil corporations, he has unusually seen both sides of the issue. Lundberg's father seems to be a complex and driven character, with many facets, being interested in digging for the truth in his TV show, but also working ferociously hard to have a successful career and become wealthy in a true story of the ''American Dream'', even though it compromised his ideals and the strongly environmental way he brought up his family.
