Romanzo di Dalton Trumbo
Forse, per questa pagina assolutamente storica di questo sito, tutti si aspetterebbero gran discorsi, proclami, resoconti o quant'altro. Invece diremo soltanto poche parole, e molto semplici. A far da contraltare alla prima CCG, Le déserteur, la più famosa canzone antimilitarista di ogni epoca, diecimila canzoni dopo abbiamo voluto inserire la chiusa finale di quello che è uno dei più famosi romanzi antimilitaristi e contro la guerra: E Johnny prese il fucile di Dalton Trumbo. Quasi a voler chiudere un cerchio durato diecimila canzoni e DIECIMILA NO. Proseguiremo fino a centomila, se necessario e se ne avremo le forze. Non cesseremo di stare qui ogni giorno a fare da spina nel fianco, per quel che possiamo esserlo. Senza nessuna tregua..

And then suddenly he saw. He had a vision of himself as a new kind of Christ as a man who carries within himself all the seeds of a new order of things. He was the new messiah of the battlefields saying to people as I am so shall you be. For he had seen the future he had tasted it and now he was living it. He had seen the airplanes flying in the sky he had seen the skies of the future filled with them black with them and now he saw the horror beneath. He saw a world of lovers forever parted of dreams never consummated of plans that never turned into reality. He saw a world of dead fathers and crippled brothers and crazy screaming sons. He saw a world of armless mothers clasping headless babies to their breasts trying to scream out their grief from throats that were cancerous with gas. He saw... (Continues)

"With The big Foondry Chorus. A somewhat humorous look at Victorian working conditions. Acoustic Guitar and banjo. In the Scottish Folk style, I think!
The song deals with conditions for Iron Foundry (Foondry) workers from 1850 to the 1950s, where jobs were almost hereditary, passed from father to son, and housing was owned by the foundry owners. Inspired in part by my uncle Ian, who worked there for all his working life. "

Così parlarono a suo tempo Marco Valdo e Lucien a proposito di questa canzone che ci riporta nella Francia occupata del 1943 o giù di lì. Nella Francia di Arrivederci ragazzi, insomma; ma l'arrivederci, anzi l'addio, lo davano anche i professori, non solo i ragazzi. Bastava avere un nome sbagliato. E non bisognava scrivere alla mamma per fare domande. Magari si veniva a sapere che anche il babbo...
Davvero uno strano tipo, Daniel Balavoine. Ad ascoltarla senza le parole sembra una canzonetta facile facile, il successino pt l'estate o qualcosa del genere. Su queste musichette, però, Balavoine cantava cose del genere. [RV]

Ieri sera ho visto un gran bel film-documentario…
Il regista è Kevin Macdonald, quello di “Un giorno a settembre” (sul sequestro della delegazione israeliana da parte di un commando palestinese alle Olimpiadi di Monaco del 1972) e di “L’ultimo re di Scozia” (sul sanguinario dittatore ugandese Idi Amin Dada).
Il film di cui voglio parlarvi è del 2007 e si intitola “My Enemy's Enemy”, da noi “Il nemico del mio nemico - Cia, nazisti e guerra fredda”, e racconta la storia di Klaus Barbie.
Klaus Barbie (Bad Godesberg, Germania, 1913 –Lione, Francia, 1991), conosciuto come il “Boia di Lione”, fu il capo della Gestapo nella città francese durante l’occupazione nazista. Dotato di una personalità crudele, pervaso da un antisemitismo e anticomunismo viscerali, hitleriano integrale, durante la guerra Barbie fu responsabile di torture, esecuzioni sommarie, massacri, fucilazioni e deportazioni ai danni...

All Those People
[2001]
"A Blues for 9/11 ? Well, not only for that… This song was written after 9/11. It is a relatively simple peace song, mourning the deaths of innocent people. I wrote it after an argument, in which my attempts to say that the victims on 9/11 aren't the only innocents we should mourn was misinterpreted as "excusing terrorism". I thought a song might make my point more clearly.

A Rich Man's War (Ain't Gonna Fight)
[2002]
"Steve Earle has a song entitled Rich Man's War. This isn't it. Steve's song is a wonderful ballad. This is a protest song intended for people to get excited about. It worked. I also hoped people would sing it so I wrote it to be a folk song. That's a song the folk can sing and play. Well, you decide if it's that.
The truth is that this song started out as a poem. It was been published as a part of the Poets Against the War Anthology and subsequently by the Indie Journal, the Web Poetry Corner, and others.
The editor of the Indie Journal called me a communist but published the poem and a related article anyway. We subsequently became good friends and I have contributed much poetry and many articles to their effort."

Tira Poc
Canzone léviane – Tira Poc – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2009
Cycle du Cahier ligné – 69
Tira Poc est la soixante-neuvième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.
Voici, mon ami Lucien l'âne si patient, un bien curieux titre pour une bien curieuse canzone. Si curieuse et si étrange, qu'il me faut t'entretenir un peu de son contenu. Ainsi qu'il est dit depuis le début de ce Cycle du Cahier Ligné, toutes ces canzones naissent au cœur d'un rêve, d'un songe, d'une méditation, enrobées de mystère et ce rêve, ce songe, ce mystère sont ceux d'un guerrier-blessé-prisonnier-enfermé et seraient pour lui, la seule manière de s'assurer qu'il vit encore et également, la seule manière de résister à une pression mortelle qui pèse sur lui. En outre, ce sont des canzones lévianes, c'est-à-dire qu'elles sont construites à partir et avec des éléments... (Continues)

C'est une très belle chanson non publiée de Francesco De Gregori. On ne lui connaît pas de titre, mais celui-ci « Hiroshima » conviendrait bien.

La chanson se rapporte probablement non pas à Paul Tibbets, pilote d'Enola Gay, qui lâcha la bombe sur Hiroshima, mais à Claude Eatherly, pilote de la mission de reconnaissance précédant le départ d'Enola Gay.

Farewell
[2009]
Album: Ballads of Joe Hill
One suicide in the Army is one too many.
General unsure if repeated combat tours to blame for record Army suicides
Army to report record number of suicides
War lingers, GI suicides rise
"I kinda wrote this song down this mornin': it's about a soldier writin' a goodbye letter to the things he loves. This is actually a true story, well every story is true in some way. But this one actually has happened."

Cielito de los muchachos

La poesia di Benedetti dalla raccolta “Letras de emergencia, 1969-1973 – Versos para cantar”, 1973, dedicata a Nacha Guevara e Alberto Favero.
CIELITO DE LOS MUCHACHOS
Están cambiando los tiempos
para bien o para mal
para mal o para bien
nada va a quedar igual
cielito cielo que sí
con muchachos donde quieran
mientras no haya libertad
se aplaza la primavera
se posterga para cuando
lleguen los años brutales
y del podrido poder
se bajen los carcamales
cielito cielo cielito
cielito a la descubierta
las botas del miedo pasan
por una calle desierta
viejos están y qué solos
qué ministros y qué viejos
tienen los pesos aquí
pero los dólares lejos
cielito cielo no importa
tienen miedo y es bastante
conocen que ya hace mucho
la historia sigue adelante
los tiempos están cambiando
están cambiando qué bueno
siempre el mundo será ancho
pero ya no será ajeno

Ho qualche dubbio che possiate pubblicarmi questo contributo, ma ci provo lo stesso…
E’ che vi voglio raccontare che per la prima volta in vita mia ho acquistato un’arma…
Ammetterete che non sarebbe proprio una cosa da scriversi su di un sito che parla di canzoni contro la guerra, ma l’arma che ho comprato è una “beidana”, la mannaietta (nemmeno tanto piccolina, nonostante il diminutivo) che i guerriglieri valdesi usarono nel corso del XVI e XVII secolo per difendersi dai loro persecutori piemontesi e francesi…
E’ quindi un’arma simbolo di resistenza, e spero che questo mio breve intervento per raccontarvela trovi asilo su questo sito.
Quella di cui finalmente sono entrato in possesso non è una beidana originale, non potrei permettermela… L’ho comprata a Luserna San Giovanni, in Val Pellice, da Pino Costa, il fabbro forgiatore che ha contribuito alla riscoperta di questo oggetto, bello... (Continues)

Corporation Offenders
[2005]
Songwriters: Hyde & Ali Baba
Album: Status Quo
"Corporations attempt to unify what we wear, eat and even think. Corporations are given human rights, yet they don’t feel sympathy, compassion or concern, they don’t show you or the environment any love. There is only one thing they care about and that is to make money. They do this by any means necessary, for example Coka Cola has built its factories near Indian villages and privatized their freshwater. Nike, a brand most hip hop tick heads like to wear can only meet its demands by slave labor. The same with Starbucks and their supply of coffee beans through unfair trade, Halliburton, a major war mongering corporation that serves military needs. I could go on and on…."
