It's Enough

It's Enough
(2018)
Album: Raise Vibration

Nel primo singolo dal suo nuovo album il buon Lenny Kravitz se la prende giustamente con il razzismo poliziesco e lancia un appello alla pace nel Medio Oriente. Poi però scivola sulle scie chimiche come un grillino qualsiasi e questo un po' ci dispiace.

Cheshire Cat Cry

Cheshire Cat Cry
(2013)
Album: "Take Me To The Land Of Hell"

Dall'album che segna il ritorno dell'ottantenne vedova Lennon con la riformata Plastic Ono Band, in cui ora suona anche il figlio Sean Lennon, con la partecipazione di alcuni ospiti tra cui Lenny Kravitz in questa traccia disturbata e disturbante.

Dal vivo la canzone è stata eseguita con i Flaming Lips. Sicuramente bisogna riconoscere che Yoko Ono sa urlare oggi come quarant'anni fa... cantare non ha mai saputo. D'altronde la canzone si chiama appunto il "grido (o il pianto) dello Stregatto" (o Ghignagatto se vogliamo usare una traduzione meno disneyana) con riferimento ad "Alice nel paese delle Meraviglie". È una canzone apertamente contro la guerra che contiene fra l'altro una divertente parodia della dichiarazione d'indipendenza (con un effetto simile a Self Evident di Ani DiFranco): "Noi, il popolo sacrificabile degli Stati Uniti riteniamo che questi sogni siano autolesionistici".

Mr. Cab Driver

Mr. Cab Driver
‎[1989]‎
Album “Let Love Rule”‎

Da un episodio di ordinario razzismo di cui fu vittima il cantante alla fine degli anni 80…‎

‎"Mr. Cab Driver" was written with a sense of humor. When I wrote it, I had a sense of humor ‎about the whole thing. But, the whole thing stems from a day of trying to get to the studio to record. ‎I was recording out at Hoboken, New Jersey at the time and I was standing at the corner of West ‎Broadway and Broome, trying to get a cab, and I was late for the studio, and I had a lot of work to ‎do, and I was passed by about twenty cabs. Then, finally, a cab stopped for me. I got in, and told ‎him where I was going, and he kicked me out of the cab. And by the end of the whole thing, we ‎were fighting on top of the cab, and you know, he was calling me nigger. And it got really out of ‎hand. It was horrible. So, I went back to my loft, because I couldn't get to the studio.... (Continues)

American Woman

American Woman
(1970)

The war dominated those newscasts, yet the radio allowed you to escape from it all. Nothing heavy there, save for two songs.

Forty years ago this week, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young dreamed of bombers turning into butterflies and getting back to the garden.

That week, millions of Americans also embraced a song that declared:

“I don’t need your war machines. I don’t need your ghetto scenes.”

“American Woman” by the Guess Who endures, a great song on so many levels. Think of the song and you think of Burton Cummings spitting out angry lyrics and Randy Bachman grinding out freaky guitar fills. True enough, but the pulse, the cadence, the urgency of the song comes from Jim Kale and Garry Peterson, who drive the whole thing on bass and drums, respectively.

What’s it all about? Bachman explained it this way in a 2008 interview on the Gibson guitar website:

“A lot of people... (Continues)
