Single The War Is Over / You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Anti Vietnam war song "The War Is Over" (RCA Victor # 74-0309) referenced Richard Nixon, criticizing him for ignoring the protesters and prolonging the war. It also noted a protester being killed, which in the case of Michael James Brody Jr. won't make any difference because he will be reborn.

Title track dell'ultimo album di Curtis Mayfield
Scritta da Curtis Mayfield, Raimundo Thomas & Brian Fleming
Il 13 agosto 1990 Curtis Mayfield fu vittima di un gravissimo incidente. Durante un concerto a Brooklin l'impianto di illuminazione cadde sul palco colpendo il cantante e fratturandogli la colonna vertebrale. In seguito all'incidente Mayfield rimase paralizzato dal collo in giù. Nove anni dopo, a soli 57 anni, Mayfield se ne andava per le complicazioni dell'incidente e per il diabete di cui soffriva.
Ma nel 1996 era riuscito a incidere, pur con mille difficoltà, il suo ultimo album, che si apriva con questa canzone di speranza che rovesciava il significato del termine impiegato da Bush fin dal 1990 per indicare la Pax Americana, una pace che puzzava fin troppo di guerra.

1964
Nathan McKinney recorded the doo-wop track "Weep No More", composed by the blues man Len Johnson. The song, released on the Los Angeles based label Rayco Records (R-526), founded by Floyd Ray, contained themes of the Vietnam War. It is narrated from the soldier's perspective, who tells us that "Uncle Sam is calling for me", and that he is resigned to leaving those he loves: "So I guess I'll have to go".

Lyrics & Music by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid
Album: Salty Dog [1999 reissue bonus track]
Produced by Denny Cordell and recorded 10/07/68, this is an unreleased performance mixed down from the original four-track tape, that was originally intended to be included on the Shine On Brightly album. Brooker's vocal on this track is merely there to guide the group as they work out the song in the studio, and is obviously not representative of how any finished version of this track would have sounded. It is, however, the only surviving take of McGreggor to feature any kind of vocal performance, and as such the historical importance of the whole outweighs the technical imperfections of any of its parts!

Double-sided Vietnam War single by Chicano soul group Six Pak, released on the Californian label Gordo (# 704), founded by Eddie Davis (a sub-label of his Rampart Records). Both tracks had a Latin Soul feel to it - of course, the label focused on Mexican Americans.
This formed part of the West Coast 'Eastside Sound' music scene. According to the president of Rampart Steven Chavez: "almost 50% of the artists from the East Side Sound era served in combat roles in Viet Nam, losing their innocence to a war in the prime of their youth, and returned to a changed American music scene that pretty much turned their back on them with the advent of new genres like hard rock, heavy metal, punk, disco and the like".

Quelques histoires albanaises, tirées de nouvelles d’Ismaïl Kadaré, traduites par Christian GUT et publiées en langue française en 1985 sous le titre La Ville du Sud.(6)
Dialogue Maïeutique
« La Terreur blanche », Lucien l’âne mon ami, voilà qui me rappelle quelque chose. La terreur est un mal qui se répand par toute la Terre : on en a vu des noires, des brunes, des rouges, des bleues, des vertes, des safrans et bien sûr, des blanches.

Interpretata da Alberto Del Monte
Il testamento di Giovanni Ruffino
Questa versione di Salvo Lo Galbo, noto cultore di Brassens, è dedicata ad un grande interprete del cantautore francese, Giovanni Ruffino, musicista, polistrumentista e autore del pinerolese, nonchè cultore della montagna, morto qualche giorno fa cadendo sulla cresta tra Français Pelouxe e Pelvo, sullo spartiacque tra Val Chisone e Valle di Susa.
Ho conosciuto Giovanni Ruffino qualche anno fa prima di un concerto al circolo Stranamore di Pinerolo. Non l'ho mai reincontrato dopo di allora. Ricordo una persona curiosa, ruvida, che non provava nemmeno a metterti a tuo agio. Non era accomodante. Voleva conoscerti e sapere che tipo di persona eri, se avevi qualcosa da dirgli oppure no. Non era un tipo facile, forse per questo amava tanto Brassens. E poi era uno straordinario musicista. Io, sicuramente, non avevo molto da dirgli,... (continuer)

1971
Super Bad
The song "Peace" (Astroscope # AS-110) from 1972 took a general anti-war perspective, rather than specifically targeting Vietnam. The narrator commented that "I hear the people asking when will it end?" - probably a reference to the early 70s protest movement. It then made several religious / biblical references: "there was no evil in the garden" - the narrator suggested that the world needed to turn to love and peace. It featured on their 1971 album Super Bad (Trip Records # TLP-9510). Note that the group also released the Vietnam-related single There's Someone Waiting (Back Home) in 1969.

The 1971 track "See What You Done, Done (Hymn No. 9)" about a Vietnam veteran who became a drug addict, was composed by Atlanta, Georgian soul singer Delia Gartrell and her husband James T. Shaw, otherwise known as The Mighty Hannibal (he also released a Vietnam War song in 1966 with a similar name, but different theme - Hymn No. 5). This Delia Gartrell single, originally released on the obscure Atlanta label Demin-Kalo (# JS-2/JS-3), was soon after picked up by the larger New York label Right-On Records (RR0-109).
Hannibal explained in an interview the inspiration for writing "See What You Done, Done": "Me and my wife were watching the news and Walter Cronkite was talking about how all the soldiers were coming back from Vietnam addicted to opium". Thus, the song provides a representation of veteran drug addiction associated with the Vietnam War:

“Auf jeden Fall kann man sich nicht verlaufen, man kommt immer wieder an der Mauer an /In ogni caso non ci si può perdere, alla fine si arriva sempre al muro è la frase che pronuncia Marion, la donna di cui Damiel si innamora, entrambi protagonisti del film. Die Mauer / il Muro non è l’argomento principale del film ma se non fosse stato in servizio, a mio avviso, Wenders non avrebbe concepito il film come poi lo ha realizzato.
Il film è un tessuto tra passato e presente, tra una città che cinquant’anni prima era il centro dell’Europa, una cultura secolare da cui non era possibile prescindere ed una città ridotta... (continuer)

Bring My Buddies Back
![Bring My Buddies Back](img/upl/R-2729138-1419415242-9826.jpeg.jpg)
1971
(David Sheffield)
Soul song called "Bring My Buddies Back" (Stone Lady # SL-006), which had a very similar sound and theme to Freda Payne's "Bring The Boys Home" - except in this case the plea came from the perspective of a war veteran, asking the government to end the war and send his friends home.
The very first line actually referenced Payne, saying: "Hey Freda, maybe you were right". The song went on to recall one of his friends dying in Vietnam because of the "lack of doctors". Not much is know of this group. They probably came from the East Coast - their label Stone Lady was based in New Jersey, founded by David L. Sheffield, who composed this and most of the songs on their album. The members of the group were Luis Farinas (tenor vocals), Doug Green (lead vocals), Greg Jackson (tenor vocals), and Tony Matthews (bass vocals).
This song also featured on the album "Bring My Buddies Back" (Stone Lady # 1001), the front cover of which has a painting of marching troops in Vietnam.

Il mio canto libero
![Il mio canto libero](img/upl/RAI_Teatro_10_Lucio_Battisti_Mina_1972.jpg)
[1972]
Testo di Giulio Rapetti, in arte Mogol
Musica di Lucio Battisti
Title track dell'album del 1972, da cui anche Gente per bene e gente per male, già su queste pagine.
Capolavoro assoluto, sia dal punto di vista poetico che da quello musicale.
Un testo probabilmente riferito alle vicende personali di Mogol in quel periodo, e tuttavia capace di un afflato universale contro la violenza e la ferocia dilaganti nel mondo, per l'amore universale, non solo dell'uomo e della donna ma dell'essere umano per la Terra e la Natura, di ogni essere umano verso i propri simili e per l'ambiente in cui viviamo.
Capolavoro umiliato da destra, che arrivò a violentare il testo interprentandolo addirittura come nostalgico del Ventennio, e da sinistra, bollato come manifesto di un autore fascistoide dedito ad un borghese riflusso nel privato.
Era semplicemente il Suo Canto Libero, e per questa la propongo, umilmente negli Extra, convinto però che si tratti proprio di una Canzone Contro la Guerra DOCG...

Words and music by Amanda Shires
Album: To the Sunset
The idea struck when she experienced “cat calling that’s become okay again,” then expanded to include her thoughts on climate change and capitalism, “but it’s bigger than that,” Shires clarifies. “The song deals with fear and all the ways it discourages the expression of our individual identities. It’s about the walls we put up to protect ourselves and the way those walls become prisons.”
