I Don't Like Mondays
![I Don't Like Mondays](img/upl/_dwn1466113993_1721184158.jpg)
Bob Geldof wrote this song when he heard about the San Diego elementary school massacre.
In January 1979, Brenda Spencer , a troubled 16-year-old who lived across the street from a schoolyard in San Diego, took the semi-automatic rifle her father had given her for Christmas and began firing. Four people died and eight children were injured. When asked why she did it, she answered "I just don't like Mondays".
Nel gennaio del 1979 Bob Geldof sente la notizia di una sedicenne di San Diego, Brenda Ann Spencer, che si è resa protagonista di una sparatoria nella scuola di fronte a casa sua uccidendo due persone e ferendone altre nove. Alla domanda perché avesse fatto questo gesto lei risponde "I don't like Mondays" (ovvero "Non mi piacciono i lunedì"); questa frase ispira il cantante dei Boomtown Rats a scrivere una canzone.

The House Of Orange

"I don't care what your politics are, when

our children are dying in the streets, it's time to put away the guns." Stan Rogers
The House of Orange is a Stan Rogers song about The Troubles, in particular about fundraising for the combatants in Canada. The overall sentiment of the song is "a pox on both your houses". The 'House of Orange' mentioned in the song is the royal house of William III of England, who led the Protestant side of the Williamite war in Ireland. It is on his posthumous CD From Fresh Water. This is the last song written by Stan Rogers before his death, and arguably among his most lyrically evocative

The premier of the day, in his headline-grabbing visit to the site of the tragedy, made sure that there was room on his private jet for his media entourage - at the expense of not carrying vital rescue equipment. The subsequent enquiry turned out to be a pure cover up. Less than a decade later, following another similar preventable pit tragedy, Moura Mine was to be permanently closed." Peter Hicks

Halfdan Rasmussen (January 29, 1915 in Copenhagen – March 2, 2002) was a Danish poet. He was known for his nonsensical children's verse and his serious adult writings about social issues and human rights.
Rasmussen was a resistance fighter during the German occupation He became very well known and respected as a poet, nearly becoming a national poet of Denmark.

Album: Sevens (1997)
A song about the Christmas Truce of 1914 during the World War I when British and French troops ceased hostilities on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Christmas Truce Letter
A brief part of a 10 page letter written by an unknown British soldier that records events and incidents with the Germans on December 24, 1914.
This will be the most memorable Christmas I've ever spent or likely to spend: since about tea time yesterday I don't think theres been a shot fired on either side up to now. Last night turned a very clear frost moonlight night, so soon after dusk we had some decent fires going and had a few carols and songs. The Germans commenced by placing lights all along the edge of their trenches and coming over to us—wishing us a Happy Christmas etc. They also gave us a few songs etc. so we had quite a social party.

Album: South Of Heaven (1988)
La canzone ha come tema il periodo nazista. Alla lettera, il titolo è "Dietro la Croce Uncinata" ma la traduzione più appropriata è "Per la Croce Uncinata", inteso come un emblema da rispettare. "La Croce Uncinata" è il simbolo che identificava la dittatura di Adolf Hitler. Definita come una canzone anti-nazizta, il testo racconta di alcuni soldati tedeschi della Wehrmacht (si riferisce a persone puramente casuali) che iniziano a pentirsi dei crimini che stanno commettendo. Il verso Forced to fight behind the crooked cross ("Costretto a combattere per la Croce Uncinata") fa trasparire il fatto che i soldati fossero stati convinti in modo ferreo a servire e obbedire agli ordini della dittatura nazista. Un'altra frase riscontrabile nel brano: Trapped by a cause... (continua)

Il Sentiero
![Il Sentiero](img/upl/md16841805099.jpg)
La chanson des MCR est un texte inédit inspiré du premier roman d'Italo Calvino « Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno », livre situé à l'époque de la Libération partisane et fortement autobiographique.
D'Italo Calvino (1923-1985), la plus grand partie des lecteurs connaît la trilogie visionnaire et grotesque de Nos ancêtres, mais c'est dans un genre complètement différent que l'auteur ligure a percé comme narrateur, spécifiquement dans «Le Sentier des nids d'araignée», bref roman d'inspiration clairement néoréaliste, qui se déroule entre San Remo et les montagnes de l'intérieur ligure. Dans sa première œuvre, Calvino a inséré une bonne part de son propre bagage de souvenirs de jeunesse, accumulés durant sa période de militance active dans les rangs de la résistance partisane. Le roman, écrit dans l'immédiat après-guerre, fut publié en 1947 avec une préface de Cesare Pavese.

Cantata di lupara
![Cantata di lupara](img/art/t1660759.jpg)
(avec l'aide d' Angelo Santamaria)
La mort de Salvatore Carnevale en 1955 à Sciara (Sicile) et la lutte que sa mère, Francesca a voulu mener devant les tribunaux contre la mafia est encore aujourd'hui la référence pour les femmes siciliennes qui mènent la lutte contre la pieuvre. Ce combat de Francesca est au centre d'un excellent livre de Carlo Levi intitulé "Le parole sono pietre". "Le parole" sont précisément celles que Francesca, mater dolorosa, lançait contre la mafia.
A noter que dans ce procès, qui fut renvoyé sur le continent, les avocats des parties étaient notamment : pour porter la voix de Salvatore mort et accuser la mafia : Sandro Pertini (antifasciste, partisan, socialiste) et pour défendre la mafia : Giovanni Leone (Démocrate Chrétien). Sans (autres) commentaires.
Tous deux deviendront ultérieurement Présidents de la République italienne. Giovanni Leone en premier lieu, qui... (continua)

War Should End (In Abyss)
![War Should End (In Abyss)](img/thumb/c7466_130x140.jpeg?1338589664)
I bought the song called, "War Should End" by Jim Geezil on itunes. It's the kind of song that fits in with the cultural times of 2008. I just think that maybe the reason this independent anti- war song can't be heard on top 40 radio is because the music business is controlled by corporate bullies. This brilliant song will pass us by because marketing has a bigger role to play. Could you imagine if we never got to hear Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth"?
Great songwriters like Jim Geezil can't find their way past the corporate entertainment gridlock. Too bad for him and too bad for us-
