Les paroles dateraient de la bataille de Malplaquet , le 11 septembre 1709, au cours de laquelle John Churchill, premier duc de Marlborough (1650-1722) , fut grièvement blessé - et non tué . L'essentiel de sa carrière militaire fut consacré à lutter contre la France. C'est pourquoi les Français s'amusèrent à raconter sur un ton parodique sa mort et son enterrement. Cette chanson ne connut du succès qu'à partir de 1781. Geneviève Poitrine, nourrice du premier dauphin de Louis XVI la chantait à l'enfant royal : Marie-Antoinette la reprit au clavecin et en lança la mode. La mélodie fit le tour du monde.

Il testo risale forse alla battaglia di Malplaquet, combattuta l'11 settembre 1709,... (continuer)

From bombing Iraq to running the World Bank. If anybody needed more evidence of the intimate connection between US economic and military policy, there it is.

Rachel Corrie was part of an ISM (International Solidarity Movement) delegation in Rafah, Palestine when she was killed by a young Israeli terrorist in a bulldozer. She was a friend of many people I knew from my days at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.

The Anti-War Movement has an Anthem

The anti-war movement declares it has an anthem. "We Don't Want Your War" is being played by protesters worldwide as the song by musician Jynkz strikes an emotional chord.

If you haven’t heard it yet you will. It’s traveling fast and far as computer-savvy war protesters worldwide have embraced a song written by San Francisco musician Jynkz. The anti-war fans are using the Internet to hurl emails and post links about the song faster than you can say, "We Don’t Want Your War".

"Now we have an Anthem", writes web publisher Lew Rockwell giving Jynkz front page coverage on his tremendously popular anti-war Web site, LewRockwell.com. "We Don’t Want Your War is nothing short of heroic", Rockwell proclaims. And he isn’t the only one that thinks so. Downloads of the song from the Jynkz web site are skyrocketing. Fans are coming...

From Anti-Flag website:

We met the Donots during our first European tour, spring of 2002, when we toured with them and Millencolin. Almost automatically the Donots became great friends to us. They weren’t overtly political in their music like Anti-Flag, but it became evident very quickly that both bands shared very similar political points of view - especially regarding the idea that people of all nations must stop being manipulated into warfare by their governments. When the tour ended Ingo of the Donots and I kept in touch via email.

A few months before Anti-Flag’s Spring 2003 European Tour I had begun working on a new song which I hoped Anti-Flag would record acoustically and release on our website for free. The song idea wasn’t a new one for me, I wanted to write a song that encouraged people who liked our music and agreed with our message to take the next step: participate in political... (continuer)

Written shortly after the first Gulf war. I'll stand by the feeling today. War is horrible and we have become too insulated from its realities.

La Baia dei Porci

La Baia dei porci (Bahía de Cochinos) è una stretta insenatura nella parte centro-meridionale dell'isola di Cuba. Divenne nota per un tentativo di invasione di Cuba effettuato il 17 aprile 1961 da 1.500 anti-castristi emigrati negli Stati Uniti e oppositori del governo di Fidel Castro.

Lo sbarco nella Baia dei porci fu l'inizio del tentativo di invasione; ideata durante la presidenza di Dwight Eisenhower, l'operazione fu autorizzata dal suo successore John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

A suggerire l'opportunità dell'attacco erano stati i servizi segreti degli Stati Uniti, decisi a riportare l'isola sotto la propria sfera d'influenza. Castro, succeduto al filo-americano Fulgencio Batista, aveva infatti nazionalizzato banche, società e casinò, ostacolando gli interessi... (continuer)

Bill Curtis supplied the lyrics and says: "In an interview with Phil in July 1969 Phil mentions a new song that he wrote called ``All Quiet On The Western Front''. He sang it at a rally following his performance at Carneige Hall that year. He mentions one line from the song "I think I'll join the National Liberation Front". The song appears to have not been released nor does it appear in Broadside. Perhaps it was never sung again."

Update: Bill said that he exchanged e-mail with a person who said that he saw Phil Ochs sing this song at a demonstration in Central Park. He also said that the record company would not allow Phil to record the song because they objected to a line in the song which Phil refused to take out.

Apparently, a recording of... (continuer)
