Tim Gray's Rap on "Hey Joe"
Lyrics available at/ Testo tratto da clients.loudeye.com
Quadlisha Cahir & Tim Gray are the two rappers on "Hey Joe". In 2001 before "Hey Joe" was recorded these two Soldiers stepped forward publicly to express their opposition to US War Plans. Here is a video-interview of these two brave soldiers shortly after 911. There's also Music video featuring the two rappers after the interview. Although they never met they gave a wonderful performance. In fact, Tim Gray had never been in a studio before. I find that remarkable. I wish them all the best in life.

„Just Say NO“ was sent as a cassette all over the world. It was hidden by soldiers in their baggage who were enroute to the Gulf War in 1991 and secretly distributed there. It even made it’s way to George Bush’s daddy’s presidential desk.
Just Say NO è stata fatta circolare in cassetta in tutto il mondo. Veniva nascosta nel loro bagaglio dai soldati spediti a fare la guerra del Golfo del 1991, e là segretamente distribuita. Riuscì ad arrivare anche sul tavolo presidenziale di George Bush paparino.

A version into the Leghornese dialect by Riccardo Venturi

For Darnell: the following translation is not into standard Italian, but in my native Leghornese dialect. Leghorn (Livorno), on the Tyrrhenian coast, is the headquarters of one of the biggest US bases in Southern Europe, Camp Darby.
