Paz en la tierra

Juan Alfredo Perez
Paz en la tierra
"Porque estamos en Vietnam" ("Why We Are in Vietnam") - a various artist compilation of 10 Vietnam War songs, in the Tex-Mex / tejano genres, including several released as singles. Released on Bronco (# BRLP-043) - record label owned by Arnaldo Ramírez, who also founded the Mexican-American record labels ARV, Falcon, and Bego, also based in Texas. He featured in Billboard on 25 November 1972, in an article focusing on the explosion of Tex-Mex music. Born on 9 April 1918, in Mission, Texas, USA, he died there on 11 May 1993. 9 out of 10 of these songs took a patriotic perspective, with only one calling for peace in Vietnam.

Hey, Hey, LBJ

Hey, Hey, LBJ
Thank you so much! As of today we hear chants like 'Hey hey, Joe Biden what you say, how many kids did you kill today' and with Netanyahu's name of course. But little did I know these stemmed from chants from the early seventies when they were sung to protest Lyndon B. Johnson's or the US war against the Vietnamese people. History repeats!

Vietnamese Baby

Vietnamese Baby
(1973)
Scritta da David Johansen per il fulminante album d'esordio eponimo della band americana

Aperta dal suono di un gong, Vietnamese Baby non è di immediata interpretazione, anche perché il testo di Johansen è una sorta di dialogo o monologo interiore e non è chiaro chi sia il personaggio che parla in prima persona.

In ogni caso, nell'ultima strofa, Johansen dice chiaramente che che ciò che ha portato al disastro del Vietnam è stato il machismo spavaldo in due forme: la crudeltà classica del soldato che stupra e saccheggia, le cui azioni erano avallate dall'impero; e la convinzione imperialista che il diritto di infliggere distruzione di massa a una popolazione straniera fosse un diritto divino americano.

The Ballad of Jerry Norman Duffy

The Ballad of Jerry Norman Duffy
I was there on the night Jerry died not on hill 131 but on Ba Hoa mountain Quinhon with my searchlight. We got a call for a mission to provide light for hill 131 but the light was non functional and there was nothing we could do to help. Three weeks before we had placed motion sensor in the gully leading to the top of the hill. This was to give them early warning to movement in that area because that was the most likely place the enemy could approach from. Their was an equipment malfunction and needed another mission to complete our work, but that never was approved in time. Jerry died and other were injured as a result. It was hard to listen to the panic coming over the radio that night and not being able to help. I didn’t know Jerry’s fate till I got home and read it in Life magazine.

Just My Soul Responding

Just My Soul Responding
1973

The song, which appeared on his first solo album Smokey in 1973 after his departure from the Miracles, has the bonus of a birthday greeting in the intro without being twee or frivolous. This is a rare protest song, with racism, black rights and the pain of native American history at its heart.

Please Mr. President

Please Mr. President
(1966)

The track "Please Mr. President" (Kent Records # K 45x446) by the blues man King Soloman, apparently based on the West Coast, recording with the Los Angeles label Kent (this is a different artist than the well-known soul singer Solomon Burke, ending with a "mon" rather than "man", also sometimes referred to as "King Solomon"). Released in 1966 with Lyndon Baines Johnson in the White House, the narrator of the song bitterly complained to the president about being sent to Vietnam. He loved his country and "never did get the notion to burn up my draft card", yet he warned the women of American that "Uncle Sam...sure can take your man". At the end of the song the soldier takes to hugging his pack and rifle to comfort him.

Caterina Caselli
Album / Albumi: “Caterina Caselli”, 1972



A conferma del fatto che questo sito è (da tempo) completamente “fuori controllo” da parte anche di chi lo redige e gestisce, un piccolo episodio. Oggi pomeriggio, in macchina, io e la Daniela -k.d.- stavamo ascoltando una trasmissione di Radio Popolare, “Bollicine”. Parentesi: da un mesetto circa, per motivi facilmente immaginabili, Radio Popolare brulica di canzoni contro la guerra; e abbiamo come l'impressione che i redattori e i bravi conduttori della storica radio milanese diano spesso delle occhiate a questo sito, anche se -privi come siamo, e come intendiamo restare, di collegamenti “social” e quant'altro, non possiamo averne la certezza. Fatto sta che “Bollicine” di oggi era dedicata alle cover italiane degli anni '70, e quando è stata mandata in onda quest' “Uomo del Paradiso” di Caterina Caselli, i conduttori hanno mandato...

What The... (Is a Going on in Washington)

What The... (Is a Going on in Washington)
1966

The country song "What the..." (Is a Going on in Washington)" (Nugget Records # NR 247), by Bob Withers, is narrated from the position of a soldier in the war zone, who feared for his life: "here I sit in Vietnam...sent half around this world to die". Is this song criticising US politicians over the Vietnam War, or is it an attack on the protest movement? It included the line: "All these people were our friends not long ago, they fought Hitler, Mussolini, and Tōjō" - this could be a reference to the Vietnamese - a former World War Two ally, who had helped the US against Adolf Hitler (Germany), Benito Mussolini (Italy), and Tōjō (Japan)? Or perhaps it is an attack on the draft card burners and protester in Washington (as it included the line: "some guys have burnt their draft cards up at home, don't send them here") - who may have backed or agreed with the cause of the Second World War,...

Hanoi Hannah

Hanoi Hannah
(1973)
Scritta da Roger McGuinn insieme a Jacques Levy

Trịnh Thị Ngọ (1931-2016), soprannominata Hanoi Hannah, era una conduttrice radiofonica vietnamita che durante la guerra del Vietnam trasmetteva dal Nord Vietnam una trasmissione di propaganda per convincere i soldati yankee che la guerra che stavano combattendo era sbagliata. In perfetto inglese commentava le notizie dal fronte, fornendo anche informazioni precisissime sulla posizione delle truppe USA, cosa che colpiva particolarmente i soldati americani. La colonna sonora erano le canzoni contro la guerra americane. Tuttavia non si hanno notizie di diserzioni dovute alle trasmissioni di Hanoi Hannah.

How are you, GI Joe? It seems to me that most of you are poorly informed about the going of the war, to say nothing about a correct explanation of your presence over here. Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on.
