Note personali
In questa traccia che gia’ nel titolo ricorda “The Times They Are a -Changin’ “ di Bob Dylan ( 1964 ) e “ A Change Is Gonna Come “ di Sam Cooke ( 1964 ) confluiscono molti temi noti alla controcultura americana degli aa. ’60. Sublimati poi nel lungo weekend di meta’ Agosto 1969 a Woodstock.
Il desiderio ,la speranza e quasi certezza di un cambiamento sociale , la pace nelle menti e la liberta’ nell’agire, il ritorno alle origini , l’amore , la felicita’ nell’amicizia, la volonta’ di evasione nel viaggio lasciando la realta’ quotidiana non piu’ sostenibile dell’ “ establishment “. Un riferimento anche al rifugio nell’assumere sostanze chimiche come supporto terapeutico v. LSD ( “sugar “ in slang ) e l’uso improprio della trementina.
