Circa 1880
Canto delle tribù Squitmush (o Squitmish)
Trascrizione di Elijah Belleville

Le tribù Squitmush, stanziate nel Colorado, vennero sistematicamente sterminate, assieme alla loro lingua.
Di loro rimane forse solo questo canto trascritto circa nel 1880 da Elijah Belleville, anch'egli un nativo americano. La versione inglese è sua, sulla quale ho condotto la versione italiana.

Con questo canto commovente e terribile nella sua semplicità, le CCG raggiungono la quota di 1500.

Una canzone che "passa in rassegna" tutta l'amministrazione Bush....

Una canzone contro la "Nazione di stronzi" guerrafondai del presidente Bush. Tutti i testi presenti su Disenfranchised.com sono assai espliciti nell'opposizione al presidente di "Jesusland"...

[1969]
Testo di Tommy James, Ed Gray e Mike Vale

"This hit song from 1969 was written and performed by Tommy James and The Shondells.

According to Tommy James himself, "when I wrote Crystal Blue, it was taken from the book of Revelation: the imagery of the new Jerusalem." But I prefer to think that the "blue crystal" is really the planet Earth. This song was a big hit in 1969, the year man landed on the moon, and television viewers saw a beautiful blue round crystal sphere photographed from space.

But if we want to consider further what "blue crystal" really has the power to persuade us to have world peace, consider the Silicon Solar Cell.

As BluCrystl says: "The silicon solar cell is a true crystal, blue in color, no pollution, no environmental danger, sufficient power ( I wonder how mankind survived before the use of fossil fuel energy, coal , oil, etc.) and I cannot see one country going to war over another's silicon solar cell photovoltaic panels."

"'War On the People' was written in the days of drugs for contras for weapons for hostages (otherwise known as Bush 1). Features a bassline that just keeps digging, down home harmonica riffing, funky reggae, and way happening vocal harmonies by Laura Dyken and Harmony Dyken."

"'In Search of Enemies' has an uplifting South African feel that insists that you move while it hips about the business of militarism. Leon Dyken messin' up the place on percussion."
