Joe Fallisi is fine and free, and that's what's most important. Here's a definitely correct article on him, from "Cronaca Qui Milano". We don't mention another article, published in a "newspaper" ("Giornale") of serfs of serfs of serfs, where Joe has been vulgarly insulted (and where, too, our site is quoted: a quotation we decidedly refuse). To that "Giornale" may perfectly be applied the definition Catullus gave of Volusius' Annales in his Carmen XXXVI: Cacata carta.

Gaza: Israel attacks the Freedom Flotilla
While the number of victims is steadily growing, I learn from CNRMedia that also three Italian pacifists, and among them “our” Joe Fallisi are on board on one of the Freedom Flotilla vessels...I wonder if someone has news of him... (The Lone Ranger)
We had, and I say “we had”, in this site also “Hatikva”, the Zionist hymn and current national anthem of Israel. I myself had included it here for certain, particular historical reasons; but these reasons do not subsist anymore after an act like that occurring in these hours. Although this website is renowned for its uttermost plurality of views, it would be just the same if we included the Horst Wessel Lied. For this reason, I have removed the Hatikva page, with the hope that we can include in this site, one day, the anthem of a free and united Palestine where all can really live in peace. (Riccardo Venturi)
For the same reasons, the CCG/AWS Staff does not think it right that the song "Shir laShalom" should be included anymore in the "Basic Songs", although it is kept in the website. This for the absolute lack of sincerity of a State whose policy of warfare and aggression is not likely to come to an end. We wish it replaced with a true peace song, that is Angelita di Anzio; let it be dedicated to all Angelitas of Gaza. (AWS/CCG Staff)

Chanson italienne – Il Testamento di Ulisse – Gianni Nebbiosi – 1974
Oh, Lucien l'âne mon ami, toi qui étais là-bas déjà en ces temps-là, as-tu rencontré le rusé Ulysse, le bel Ulysse, Ulysse le sage qui s'en fit faire un si long voyage pour retrouver en Ithaque Télémaque, son fils, et Pénélope, sa femme... Lui que seul son chien reconnut, que son vieux bouvier guida en la salle royale pour un élégant carnage.
Mais bien évidemment, Marco Valdo M.I. mon ami, que je fus à Troie et que j'ai connu Agamemnon, Achille, Hector, Paris et les autres. Tu le sais aussi bien que je fus à Ithaque, que j'ai porté Pénélope, Ulysse et Télémaque. Et que j'ai assisté dans un coin de la salle à ce banquet, au tir à l'arc et au grand nettoyage.
Mais enfin, Lucien l'âne mon ami, comment as-tu pu voir tout çà et que personne n'ait jamais fait allusion à ta présence ?
Comme tu le devines, l'âne passe assez... (Continues)

Chanson italienne – E qualcuno poi disse... – Alessio Lega – 2008 – Gianni Nebbiosi – 1972
On ne trouve pas , quasi pas, sur le net, de photographies du professeur Gianni Nebbiosi. C'est actuellement, un savant de psychologie et de phrénologie estimé au niveau international; il suffit de taper son nom sur Google et apparaissent des études, des interventions à des séminaires et des congrès, des témoignages professionnels. Et même la photographie qu'on présente ici, qui le représente en 2002, a été prise à un colloque international tenu en Espagne. Taper son nom sur Google, disions nous. Au milieu des études et des interventions, on trouve aussi une chose « étrange », au nom de Gianni Nebbiosi. Un album de chansons. Un incroyable album oublié de 1972 intitulé Et ils te diront folle …

Coal Owner and Pitman's Wife

[1844]
Lyrics by William Hornsby (a collier of Shotton Moor, during the "Great Strike")
Music: The tune belongs to the great family of "Henry Martin" and a score of ballads with 'Derrydown' refrain
Album: The Iron Muse - A Panorama of Industrial Folk Music
Another propaganda ballad, written by William Hornsby and published as a broadside during the 1844 strike, this time extolling the heroic and steadfast virtues of the women in the coalfield. Like many songs of the time it used an existing popular folk tune.

Da Flel 2010
"Sì, in fondo "Stella clandestina" nasce quando iniziano a uscire queste leggi "razziali", queste leggi per cui, da un giorno all'altro ti trovi clandestino. E se ti trovi clandestino e hai 20 anni, 30 anni è un problema, ma se ti trovi clandestino che ancora sei un bambino di due anni? E' una tragedia! E' una visione di questi due bambini che oggi sono ancora da considerarsi bambini, ma da domani saranno clandestini, con tutto quello che ne consegue. Qualcuno ha tradito il suo Vangelo per poter far questo. E' un problema di civiltà."

Notre bon Meslier
Pour en revenir à notre bon Meslier, curé de son état, il est proprement indigne de lui imputer la méconnaissance du christianisme, fût-il des origines. Bien au contraire, c'est de le bien connaître qu'il en eut la dégoûtation. Il suffit de lire les écrits de Jean Meslier pour s'en rendre compte de manière tout-à-fait objective. Par ailleurs, il ne pouvait ignorer cela ayant subi le « séminaire » de Châlons, été ordonné prêtre et nommé curé le 7 janvier 1689 curé d'Étrépigny et de But dans les Ardennes .
Cela dit, il voyait clair dans le jeu des illusions chrétiennes et plus spécifiquement, catholiques, apostoliques et romaines. Il disait, par exemple : « …vous adorez effectivement des faibles petites images de pâte et de farine, et vous honorez les images de bois et de plâtre, et les images d’Or et d’Argent.

[1968]
Novantanove anni fa, il 25 marzo 1911, 146 operaie della fabbrica di abbigliamento Triangle Shirtwaist Factory di New York City morirono nel corso di uno spaventoso incendio sviluppatori nello stabilimento. Fu la peggiore tragedia su di un luogo di lavoro che si sia mai verificata negli USA prima dell’attentato dell’11 settembre 2001. Le vittime, quasi tutte donne immigrate sfruttate e sottopagate, morirono orrendamente, carbonizzate oppure sfracellate al suolo dopo essersi lanciate dalle finestre dell’alto edificio. Le proporzioni della tragedia furono tali perché il padrone del complesso aveva fatto chiudere tutti gli accessi alle scale antincendio per impedire alle operaie di uscire per fumarsi una sigaretta. Sicchè molte fumavano all’interno dello stabilimento, pieno di tessuti e materiali altamente infiammabili, ed una cicca o un fiammifero rimasto acceso furono probabilmente... (Continues)

Tune: “All Around the Water Tank, Waiting for a Train.”
Una delle canzoni scritte dall’operaia e sindacalista Ella Mae Wiggins poco prima di venire assassinata dai vigilantes della compagnia manifatturiera Loray Mill di Gastonia, Nord Carolina, al termine del lungo e durissimo sciopero dei tessili nella primavera del 1929.
Per un’introduzione più approfondita si veda The Mill Mother's Lament.
Per un’accurata ricostruzione del “Loray Mill Strike” si veda quanto scritto da Vera Buch Weisbord, una delle protagoniste dello sciopero, nel suo articolo Gastonia, 1929. Strike at the Loray Mill – da cui traggo anche il testo della canzone - pubblicato nel 1974 sulla rivista Southern Exposure.

Through The Barricades

Through the barricades
Canzone ispirata dal conflitto nell'Ulster.
Da brividi.
Through the barricades
Canzone ispirata dal conflitto nell'Ulster.
Da brividi.
La canzone fu scritta da Gary Kemp, polistrumentista e autore di gran parte delle canzoni degli Spandau Ballet.
Il brano non è solo genericamente riferito ai Troubles in Ulster ma fu composto in seguito alla morte di Thomas "Kidso" Reilly, un collaboratore della band, ucciso a Belfast il 9 agosto 1983 da una pallottola inglese.
"We had a guy called 'Kidso' (Thomas Reilly), who worked for us on merchandise during the True tour. He went back to Belfast after the tour and was killed. Kidso's brother, Jim, who played drums for Stiff Little Fingers, subsequently took me along to see his grave and the song was inspired by walking down the Falls Road. I got to experience some of the emotion of that first-hand and it just stuck with me. I didn't expect it to come out in the shape of a Romeo and Juliet sort of song, but it did."
(Gary Kemp, in un'intervista al Belfast Telegraph)

Chanson italienne – Strofe Antimilitariste – Franco Nebbia (1927-1984)

Au « Nebbia Club » on entend de vieux chants anarchistes, des textes de dénonciation sociale et des chansons antimilitaristes.
J'en étais sûr, même si je ne l'avais jamais su avec certitude. J'en étais certain car quelqu'un qui écrit une chose comme le Vademecum Tango ne pouvait qu'être anarchiste dans l'âme, créant avec le latin sur un rythme dansant un irrésistible effet de comique profanateur.

[2003]
Album: 9/11 Was An Inside Job
A wee travelogue through some of the steaming horseshit provided in the aftermath of the 9/11 con job.
"..Well, I just find it so hard to believe that people are as stupid and indifferent as they appear but then, maybe they really are.."

"Well, there is this small cabal of nasty inhuman customers who are dedicated to control of all external phenomena, who do evil for the joy of it. Who sit on both sides of every conflict, engineer them and profit thereby. Wake up and smell the bodies burning.. "

Album: 9/11 was an Inside Job
"I can't say it explicitly enough...9/11 was NOT just some so called Al Qaeda. There's a lot more to it and if you care enough you can find out, start looking or go back to sleep.
My girlfriend said to me, « You know, that's not a very commercial title for an album » and I said, « It's not about the money, not that anyone seems to want to give me any. Somebody has to say something EVEN IF- very few people hear it... »

La mia vita è piena di musica, la musica è la mia vita. Tutti i momenti più significativi della mia esistenza (per quanto giovane possa essere!) sono accompagnati dalla musica dei Genesis. Ne sono fiera perchè le loro canzoni fanno parte di me, sono parte della mia vita, e vi giuro che nessun film ha mai avuto una colonna sonora migliore di quella che ho io mentre giorno per giorno vivo la mia vita, vivo le mie emozioni, le mie paure, le mie debolezze con loro e con le loro magnifiche canzoni... Un ringraziamento speciale va a tutti voi, che come me, sapete ascoltare ed amare la buona musica. Eleonora

Dansante del Desterrado
![Dansante del Desterrado](img/upl/PAR01034.jpg)
[1976]
Letras: Jorge Enrique Adoum
Musica: Patricio Montilla
Album “Ecuador: El Grito de Libertad”, Paredon Records
Jorge Enrique Adoum, scomparso di recente, è stato un importante poeta e scrittore ecuadoregno. Fu sempre molto compromesso con i temi sociali, tant’è che negli anni della dittatura militare e fino al 1987 visse esule in Francia. A Jorge Enrique Adoum si devono anche molte delle traduzioni in spagnolo delle poesie di T.S. Elliot, Langston Hughes, Jacques Prévert, Yannis Ritsos, Vinícius de Moraes, Nazım Hikmet, Fernando Pessoa, Joseph Brodsky e Seamus Heaney.
La terra è così intrisa di sangue che l’indio che cade sa quanta terra gli tocca alla fine – giusto quella per essere sepolto – perché riconosce in bocca il sapore di tutti gli altri compagni caduti prima di lui…

Canzone registrata per “The Times They Are A-Changin'” ma poi non inclusa nell’album.
Pubblicata nel 1991 in “The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991”
Se questa me la cassate, pazienza… Però è una canzone contro l’esclusione, come ce ne sono tante sulle CCG…

Surrender
![Surrender](img/thumb/a921_130x140.jpeg)
[2006]
Lyrics & Music by David Elon Preston
Dedicated to the 13 coal miners who lost their lives at the Sago Mine, Tallmansville, West Virginia.
"The seed for this song came in early January in the aftermath of the Sago Coal Mine disaster in Tallmansville, West Virginia. I had read where some of the miners had written notes as they lay trapped two miles deep inside the mine. One note read, “Tell all I see them on the other side. It wasn’t bad. I just went to sleep.” A melody line began running through my head shortly after, and by mid-February I just had to try to get something down on paper. I tried to record the song with my own back up harmonies but it just didn't sound right.
I asked Anne Cozean and Marty Ross Vining from SongRamp to add their beautiful voices to the mix. They graciously agreed and I am eternally grateful.
This song is dedicated to the families of the miners that lost their lives in Tallmansville and everywhere".
