American Justice - The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll

Dylan and the oracle which was undoubtedly grabbed her frail silhouette interpret one of his most poignant, The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll . This is the story of a racist crime in the southern United States, a two-tier justice and a compassionate protocol full of trickery announcing many other compositions dylaniennes denouncing the unjust U.S. justice like the famous Hurricane.

fourth track of side B of The Times They Are a-Changin ', master's third album released in January 64, this song tells of an incident that occurred a year earlier in Maryland. Zanzinger William, son of master planter alcoholic, angry that his insult bourbon comes with delay, then pack a black servant, Hattie Carroll. She died in hospital. The ruling condemns Zanzinger just six months in prison for the unfortunate suffering from high blood pressure and would have died instead of a brain hemorrhage due to abuse dealt out by Zantzinger under the weight of his blows.

Dylan insists that the trial would have been different if the criminal had not been rich with political connections (high office relations in The Politics of Maryland) and the victim of a poor woman "who just Cleaned up all The Food From The Table ". Dylan ends up full of irony: justice, fully egalitarian imposes the same sentences for all ("even get Properly Handled The Nobles"), severely condemns ("Strongly handed out") to six months in jail the culprit.

The melody is captivating and the lyrics of accuracy and lucidity to make you shiver and have enclosed a link to this post allowing to read the French translation.

The document below is exceptional, Dylan performed this song during the "Steve Allen Show . This excerpt gives to see the Dylan quintessential early sixties. The camera ventures timidly to observe the reactions of young audiences, just as captivated by the work embarrassed by the subject it addresses. Dylan forces them to revisit their convictions and the vision they relate to the contradictions of a country with an open mind and pretend reformer is still a chimera.

Is The Martingale Illegal In Real Casinos

America's Got Talent back to the roots of Rock'n'Roll

There are things that you fall over like that. A Redneck - Kevin Skinner - comes with his guitar in a television reality show in the con. Everybody's laughing at his mouth, David Hasselhoff is the arrogant and the room curled up with laughter. Getting ready to play a massacre and we know how broadly it will end. But now, the guy itches some chords and raises his voice above. And in two phrases, it catapults thanks condescending destroys and annihilates all inclinations mocking criticism to come. Hasselhoff is standing almost on the verge of tears and no longer knows how to hide his past arrogance.

Why now affects us all?

ago at this moment, everything that made us interested and believe in rock: simplicity, sincerity and a voice - because I think rock is primarily a voice. By Kevin Skinner, we see Elvis, Dylan, Springsteen. Thank you to America's Got Talent back to this piece of soul of rock'n'roll.

Can Westerners Use Eyelid Tape

Philippe maneuver about the Blue Öyster Cult

In this excerpt from the show Jukebox (monthly rock on Antenne 2, which passed 75 to 78) created and hosted by Freddy Hausser (we will more fully on the passer in a while), Philippe maneuver, yet only known cult and readers of Rock & Folk, appeared for the first time on TV. His intervention
Blue Öyster Cult is fundamental and decisive in more ways than one:
- First, Labourer apprehends rock historically.
- Second, it produces a substantive analysis - the song from Blue Oyster Cult, " Stairways to the Stars, "says Flex, denounces with relevance to the world of showbiz where rock stars show the virtues they do not practice - thus defining the rock as meaningful and deciphering the world around him.
- Third, Labourer asserts dogmatically adopting an almost professorial tone somewhat defused by quiet dandyism.
These three elements: the historical vision, text analysis and tone confirms that the rock can not be approached as a mere phenomenon of retarded teenagers but rather as a cultural event in itself. Maneuver completes and the work of Rock & Folk, which was under the pulse Koechlin (we will soon be on him shortly), to approach the rock with the same seriousness as Art critic Press Tel / Quel.

PS emphasize participation Zermati Marc Lebrun and Christian magazine's Best. We will also devote one or more articles to Marc Zermati soon, engineering inescapable years 70/80. I know, Taff was on keyboards.
