Hitler Ain't Dead

Peggy Seeger: Hitler Ain't Dead - 1967
Il existe une version de cette chanson adaptée par Peggy Seeger, vraisemblablement en 1967, année de la publication sonore de l'original. Avec cinq strophes au lieu de six dans l'original, la version de Peggy Seeger est non seulement plus concise, mais sans doute plus subtile aussi. Elle propose en effet de dépasser la simple dénonciation des agissements de Lyndon Johnson et de l'armée U.S. au Vietnam, pour étendre la responsabilité à la société dans son ensemble et s'adresser directement à l'auditeur, en l'inviter à l'action, à la résistance, à la lutte pour la liberté, rappelant en toute fin - "Hitler ain't dead, he's among you and me" - que le succès des dictateurs repose sur la complicité d'un corps social composé d'individus comme "toi et moi".
Il semble que ce soit cette version qui se trouve sur le double album "Canción protesta" édité à Cuba... (continua)

Paz en la tierra
Juan Alfredo Perez

"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.

End the Vietnam War

Non ho trovato l'anno in cui la canzone è stata incisa da Allen Ginsberg. Ne esiste una versione remixata da DJ Spooky pubblicata nel 2003.

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!

Dopo aver ascoltato la notizia della morte mi sono messo a riascoltare tutti i vecchi long playing in cui suona e canta David Crosby con i Byrds e con CSN&Y e ringrazio tutti quelli che su questa pagina mi hanno aiutato a comprendere correttamente il testo di questa bellissima canzone.

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

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

(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.
