Carl Sagan: Pale Blue Dot
“ From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust sus...

Guilty
Produced by
Flood & John Parish
Release Date
July 13, 2016
Guilty è stata registrata durante le session dell'album “The Hope Six Demolition Project” ma non è stata inclusa nell'album ed è stata pubblicata come singolo.
La canzone parla di droni, un soldato annoiato in una sala di controllo a migliaia di chilometri di distanza sta guidando un Reaper. Vede una piccola figura su uno schermo e deve decidere al momento una sentenza di vita e di morte: innocente o colpevole?

Qu’est-ce que tu racontes, dit Lucien l’âne, un peu ébahi ? Aigle, balustrade, pays ? Je me demande bien lequel de pays ; c’est peut-être un pays qui n’existe pas.
D’une certaine façon, Lucien l’âne mon ami, tu as raison. C’est un pays qui – aujourd’hui – n’existe pas ou plus exactement, n’existe plus. Ça arrive souvent d’ailleurs que des pays qui disparaissent ou se dissolvent ou à l’inverse, que d’autres apparaissent, comme quoi les pays, ce sont des êtres vivants.

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.'"

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.

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

Il 5 settembre 1977 veniva lanciata la sonda Voyager 1, che è tuttora in attività e continua ad inviare la propria telemetria, nonostante sia uscita già da un po' dai confini del sistema solare (la cosiddetta eliopausa). Si trova attualmente (dati del 9 novembre 2020) ad una distanza di oltre 151 UA (Unità Astronomiche) dal Sole, pari a 22 miliardi e 590 milioni di chilometri; questo ne fa l'oggetto artificiale prodotto dall'Uomo più lontano dal pianeta Terra. Il Voyager 1 ha una data di spegnimento prevista: il 2025, quando i suoi generatori termoelettrici a radioisotopi cesseranno di fornire sufficiente energia elettrica.... (Continues)
