Vietnam
(1965)
Testo / Lyrics / Paroles / Sanat --> eddybonte.be (dq82)
Psychedelic garage rock. Anti-war. Draft. Reference to LBJ
Vietnam War Song Project
Jon Savage on song: Bobby Jameson rages against the Vietnam war
This garage-punk classic is a vehement statement against a war that, by early 1966, was spiralling out of control
A fanfare of slow, church organ chords – straight out of a horror film – resolves into a brutal Bo Diddley beat. A few blasts of harmonica carry the riff, and then a full-throated voice begins to testify. It's a stitch-up he's complaining about, and we're not talking pop-art clothes: "Senators the congress and the politician man, well they all got me in the mess I'm in/ Said I got a call from Uncle Sam, said 'send that boy to Vietnam.'"
This is a horror movie, only for real, and the singer is really pissed off because he knows what he's facing: "President Johnson... (Continues)

Some Boys Grow Up to Be Soldiers
(2020)
What was the inspiration for “Some Boys Grow Up To Be Soldiers”?
The character in this song is nobody in particular. We all know him. He’s somebody’s uncle, friend, neighbor, father, son. He’s far from perfect, but when he served he was willing to lay down his life. It didn’t come to that, but he lost some essential part of himself along the way. I think of this as an anti-war song. Not a song about the men and women who die in wars, but about the survivors who return to find home is no longer their home. Of course “he’ll never admit what it cost” and so there is nothing to do but soldier on.

Onore ai disertori
Chanson italienne – Onore ai disertori – PeggiorItalia – 2020
Dialogue Maïeutique
Je résumerais ainsi la chanson : « Mais finalement, le vrai sage est le déserteur. Le héros inconnu des grands monuments », dit Marco Valdo M.I.
Pour ce qui est de la sagesse, dit Lucien l’âne, c’est absolument vrai du point de vue statistique. Il y a beaucoup plus de soldats morts à la guerre que de déserteurs fusillés. Et même, on pourrait en faire une sorte de loi – au sens scientifique du terme, quelque chose comme : plus il y a de déserteurs vivants, moins il y a de soldats morts. C’est mathématique et imparable ; quand il n’y aura plus que des déserteurs, il n’y aura plus de soldats morts. C’était la logique de Pottier :
« Les rois nous saoulaient de fumées
Paix entre nous, guerre aux tyrans
Appliquons la grève aux armées
Crosse en l’air, et rompons les rangs
S’ils s’obstinent, ces cannibales

Riccardo Marasco - I Musici di Acanto:
Pace e non più guerra, 1997
Il Santo Natale dell'anno di grazia e disgrazia 2020 mi porta in regalo, finalmente, la rassegnazione. Non si può nulla contro il Natale. Gli “Antinatale”, quelli veri, non esistono; oppure, sono talmente pochi da essere assolutamente trascurabili. Per una volta che, per cause di forza maggiore, il Natale praticamente salta, è una tragedia di proporzioni incalcolabili, e non solo economiche.
Chi scrive è stato, lo riconosco, un Antinatale ferreo e talebano. Uno che, il giorno di Natale, è arrivato a partire di casa alle undici di mattina, e andare alla stazione centrale a mangiare due panini facendosi poi una lunga passeggiata, da solo, per la città semideserta mentre le famiglie sedevano giojose al desco scambiandosi i regali e abbuffandosi come porcelli....
