'Do not go gentle into that good night' - Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

“There’s a bit of magic in everything and then some loss to even things out”
Fatico
in questi giorni a non pensare a Chris Cornell, l'ultimo dei tanti
musicisti/artisti che non è riuscito a tirare avanti, l'ultimo che
nel buio della sua anima non ha trovato la forza di proseguire
nemmeno per un attimo di più. Il suicidio viene spesso considerato
espressione di egoismo ma può essere un grande atto di coraggio.
Dipende. Generalizzare è sbagliato, bisogna avere rispetto nei
confronti di un essere umano che decide volontariamente di spegnersi.
Giudizi, indagini, cronaca, sensi di colpa e ogni tentativo di
comprendere, giustificare e spiegare sono inutili. Dolore, rispetto
ed eventualmente ricordo. Ogni storia è differente, siamo tutti
impenetrabili in fondo in fondo.
Non
solo i personaggi famosi commettono suicidio, lo fanno gli anonimi
disperati, senza speranza di tutto il mondo e ciascuno facendolo
provoca inevitabilmente dolore anche se purtroppo c'è chi vive e
muore solo. Ciascuno merita rispetto. Se ne potrebbe parlare
all'infinito. Non è questo il modo/luogo e non mi interessa farlo.
Provo
compassione per tutte le donne e gli uomini che si sono persi e si
perderanno. Provo immensa gratitudine per quelli con cui ho condiviso
emozioni, che mi hanno donato emozioni. “You know her
life was saved by rock 'n' roll” diceva Lou Reed.
Quante
volte una canzone o un brano musicale ci hanno “salvato” la vita,
ci hanno cambiato un momento o una giornata storta, quante volte
hanno fatto da sfondo alla nostra esistenza dando un certo colore al
presente e poi ai nostri ricordi. Sono certo sia capitato a tutti.
Quasi quotidianamente rimango stupito dal magico effetto di voci e
suoni sulla mia mente e corpo, straordinario! Sarò strano, penso
siano una delle medicine più efficaci, ne esiste una per ogni
disturbo. In questa immensa disponibilità di ricchezza umana c'è
tutto. Leggerezza, impegno, durezza, morbidezza, semplicità,
complicazione, dolcezza, rabbia, ribellione, musica di ogni tipo e
genere ... Cibo prezioso per tutti.
Un
quadro, un luogo, un fiore, tante cose possono avere lo stesso
effetto ma sto parlando di note.
Musicisti
e cantanti che involontariamente ci hanno donato “salvezza”, ci
hanno arricchito, insegnato tanto, senza salvare se stessi,
andandosene. Le loro perle rimarranno per sempre, per noi, per quelli
che ci sono ora e che verranno. Per chi vorrà ascoltare,
emozionarsi, imparare, creare.
Grazie
dal profondo del cuore Chris, un grazie immenso a tutti voi, pare sia inevitabile
sia così.
Cito
ancora Lou Reed: “There’s a bit of magic in
everything and then some loss to even things out” - “C’è
un poco di magia in ogni cosa e un po’ di perdita, per compensare
le cose”...

... la grande bellezza ...!!!
DEAR LISTENER: ALL PRAISE BE TO GOD TO WHOM ALL PRAISE IS DUE. Let us pursue Him in the righteous path. Yes it is true; "seek and ye shall find." Only through Him can we know the most wondrous bequeathal. During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD.
As time and events moved on, a period of irresolution did prevail. I entered into a phase which was contradictory to the pledge and away from the esteemed path; but thankfully, now and again through the unerring and merciful hand of God, I do perceive and have been duly re-informed of His OMNIPOTENCE, and of our need for, and dependence on Him. At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT ... IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE. IT IS TRULY – A LOVE SUPREME – .
This album is a humble offering to Him. An attempt to say "THANK YOU GOD" through our work, even as we do in our hearts and with our tongues. May He help and strengthen all men in every good endeavor.
The music herein is presented in four parts. The first is entitled "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT", the second, "RESOLUTION", the third, "PURSUANCE", and the fourth and last part is a musical narration of the theme, "A LOVE SUPREME" which is written in the context; it is entitled "PSALM".
In closing, I would like to thank the musicians who have contributed their much appreciated talents to the making of this album and all previous engagements.
To Elvin, James and McCoy, I would like to thank you for that which you give each time you perform on your instruments. Also, to Archie Shepp (tenor saxist) and to Art Davis (bassist) who both recorded on a track that regrettably will not be released at this time; my deepest appreciation for your work in music past and present. In the near future,
I hope that we will be able to further the work that was started here.
Thanks to producer Bob Thiele; to recording engineer, Rudy Van Gelder; and the staff of ABC-Paramount records. Our appreciation and thanks to all people of good will and good works the world over, for in the bank of life is not good that investment which surely pays the highest and most cherished dividends.
May we never forget that in the sunshine of our lives, through the storm and after the rain – it is all with God – in all ways and forever.
ALL PRAISE TO GOD.
With love to all, I thank you,

call on me (the Raven - Lou Reed)
Caught in the crossbow of ideas and journeys
sit here reliving the other self’s mournings
Caught in the crossbow of ideas and dawnings
stand I
sit here reliving the other self’s mournings
Caught in the crossbow of ideas and dawnings
stand I
Reliving the past of the maddening impulse
violent upheaval, the pure driven instinct
The pure driven murder, the attraction of daring

Al ritorno i gitanti se ne liberano calpestandolo.

Jim Jarmusch + The Stooges = what else?
da gqitalia.it:
In
Gimme Danger vi capiterà di vedere Iggy seduto su una sedia, in
ciabatte, in una stanza che sembra una lavanderia nel retro di
un’abitazione. Oppure lo vedrete su un trono, scalzo, con dei
teschi affianco. Estremi e facce della stessa medaglia: la
naturalezza di essere se stesso, ovunque: «Non voglio essere
etichettato come glam o alternativo. Non voglio essere nulla di tutto
questo. Non voglio essere un punk. Voglio soltanto… essere».
E
in effetti Iggy Pop e gli Stooges non sono stati nulla di tutto
questo ma sono stati tutto. Sono stati la fiammella e il germe
generatore prima dell’esplosione del punk. Sono arrivati nel
momento giusto per «dare una mano a spazzare via gli anni 60».
James
Newell Osterberg, così è registrato all’anagrafe, è rilassato,
guascone, ammiccante, pronto a raccontarsi a favore di telecamera. Di
fronte, più che un intervistatore, c’è un amico: Jim Jarmusch.
Non
è la prima volta che l’Iguana appare in un lavoro del regista di
Akron: c’è chi lo ricorda in Deadman (1995) con Johnny Depp e chi
in dieci minuti di dialogo con Tom Waits in Coffee and Cigarettes
(2003), una delle pagine di rock prestate al cinema più surreali
possibili.
Gimme
Danger è l’esaltazione e il riposizionamento al centro di tutto
degli Stooges, dei quali spesso non si parla abbastanza diffusamente.
Jim
Jarmusch lo dichiara senza troppi giri di parole: «È la nostra
lettera d’amore per quella che probabilmente è la più grande band
nella storia del rock’n’roll». Il giusto tributo al gruppo
intero – non solo a Iggy.
Spesso
si parte dal punk, si citano i Sex Pistol per il fronte inglese e i
Ramones per il fronte punk rock americano. I due riferimenti più
popolari che monopolizzano qualcosa, che però, senza Iggy Pop e gli
Stooges, non sarebbe mai esistito.
Gli
Stooges sono stati punk involontari prima del punk. Peraltro Dee Dee,
Johnny e Joey Ramone si conobbero a scuola a causa della comune
passione per la band di Ann Arbor. Non un caso. Il docu-film,
proiettato fuori concorso per la prima volta a Cannes 2016, arriva
nelle sale italiane il 21 e il 22 febbraio (distribuito da BIM e Nexo
Digital) dopo una fugace apparizione all’ultimo Milano Film
Festival.
Iggy
Pop è un reduce, ma uno di quei reduci che hanno saputo mettere la
testa fuori da eroina e LSD, prima di soffocare lentamente. Quei
momenti di lucidità che fanno la differenza: puoi morire a 27 anni,
oppure continuare a fare la storia del rock fino a 70 anni e oltre.
Una
narrazione fatta di ricordi e aneddoti che tutta la band snocciola,
anche se il battitore libero principe di tutto questo è Jim
Osterberg, aka Iggy Pop. Dai ricordi dei rumori della fabbrica Ford
che tanto lo ammaliavano, fino alla tv e ai programmi preferiti come
Howdy Doody: «Uno di miei personaggi preferiti chiedeva a noi
spettatori di mandare lettere: non più di 25 parole. Quando ho
iniziato a scrivere canzoni ho fatto lo stesso. Non sono mica Bob
Dylan blah blah blah».
Ci
sono i suoi inizi da batterista, le prove nella roulotte gialla in
cui viveva con i suoi genitori e il cambio di ruolo («Ho lasciato la
batteria perché ero stanco di vedere solo culi»). E poi la
conoscenza con i fratelli Asheton (Ron e Scott) e Dave Alexander. I
primi dirompenti concerti di spalla ai fratelli maggiori MC5 dove
primordialità sonora, ruvida, dissonante e psichedelica – tanto
che prima si chiamarono Psychedelic Stooges – mescolata alla
capacità di Iggy Stooge (così si faceva chiamare nel disco
d’esordio del 1969, The Stoogees) di estremizzare al massimo lo
stare sul palco – ma anche giù dal palco, divenivano punto focale
di tutto il mondo Stooges. Tre dischi in soli quattro anni dal 1969
al 1973 che segnarono un solco profondo nel pre e dopo Stooges nella
storia del rock fuori dall’ordinarietà, ed è lì che andrebbe
fissato un punto di non ritorno e posizionata la pietra miliare di
tutto quello che è alternativo al classic rock. Un montaggio serrato
di immagini e video recuperati da fan, videomatori e archivi storici,
alternate ad animazioni – non eccessive e non troppo intrusive –
solo dove se ne sentiva il reale bisogno. C’è anche David Bowie e
la parte dell’iniziale della conoscenza dei due e della produzione
di Raw Power (1973), ma non il loro trasferimento a Berlino
(1976-1978), un periodo di disintossicazione che sarebbe stata legata
solo a Iggy Pop ma non gli Stooges. Si riprendono poi le fila e si
arriva direttamente alla nuova line-up e alla reunion al Coachella
del 2003.
Jim
Jarmusch ha il merito di rimettere al centro qualcosa che all’epoca
non aveva la consapevolezza di quello che avrebbe potuto influenzare
in futuro: dai Sex Pistols, passando per Sonic Youth e i più recenti
White Stripes. Gli Stooges erano qualcosa di non ben identificato,
più semplicemente chiamato proto-punk.
Gimme
Danger è un ottimo compendio per chi ama in maniera viscerale la
band, o per chi, semplicemente non ha mai avuto modo di approfondire
a dovere un gruppo fondamentale, grazie al quale quello che oggi si
ascolta è pur sempre merito loro.
God
save the Stooges, o quel che resta.

'Lucky Man' - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

Siedo al mio tavolo e dichiaro guerra a me stesso...
World Leader Pretend - R.E.M.
I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades,
And I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons,
I used them well
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the wall,
and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defences
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well.
I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the walls,
and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight.
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me.
Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the walls,
and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar
I raised the walls and I’m the only one I will be the one to knock it down
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades,
And I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons,
I used them well
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the wall,
and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defences
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well.
I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the walls,
and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight.
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me.
Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake.
Let me make it good
I raised the walls,
and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar
I raised the walls and I’m the only one I will be the one to knock it down

Who Can It Be Now?" (men at work)
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide...
Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide...

... Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes ...
... With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait? ...
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait? ...
(Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands - Bob Dylan)
