... όμως κάποιοι άλλοι ταξίδευαν για τη Γάζα.
Ετσι, άργησα να γράψω δυο λόγια για τη συναυλία και μετά με πρόλαβαν τα συγκλονιστικά γεγονότα και οι δολοφονίες από τον ισραηλινό στρατό.
Πολύ σύντομα: η συναυλία ήταν ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΗ (αν και όχι τόσο όσο αυτές του 1989 και του 1993 - όμως έχουν περάσει τόσα χρόνια από τότε). Οπως πάντα, κάποιες εκτελέσεις (π.χ. Desolation Row, Highway 61 revisited) δεν τις γνώριζε ούτε η μάνα τους ωστόσο, αυτός είναι ο Dylan live και το ξέρουμε.
Κόσμος πάρα πολύς και από ηλικίες "αι γενεαί πάσαι"...προσωπικά δεν περίμενα να δω τόσα νέα παιδιά...μπράβο τους!
Μερικές κριτικές στέκονται στο σπάσιμο της φωνής του σχεδόν 70χρονου Bob, όμως κι αυτό το ξέρουμε και συνολικά η εμφάνισή του ήταν πολύ καλή. Αλλωστε..."ο χριστός κι αν γεράσει για σαράντα αγίους κάνει".
Γενικό συμπέρασμα: παρά τη μεγάλη ταλαιπωρία του πήγαινε-έλα στη Μαλακάσα, νοιώθω τυχερός που τον είδα για τρίτη φορά στην Αθήνα.

Still alive (and kickin')
Χαίρετε...κι ελπίζω να είστε όλοι καλά..
ΟΚ..δε θέλω ανόητες ερωτήσεις, του στυλ "ζεις ακόμη?", "που ήσουν τόσο καιρό?" κλπ...Ε, ναι, ζω και, ναι, είμαι αλλού...Απλά, μου την έδωσε σήμερα (μάλλον είναι το πνέυμα των επερχόμενων σε 30κάτι μέρες χριστουγέννων), μπήκα και είδα το αγαπημένο μου μπλογκ-νεκροταφείο και σκέφτηκα να σταθώ και να πώ ένα "γειά" και ένα "ευχαριστώ" στους παλιούς και νεότερους μπλογκο-συνοδοιπόρους (πάντα με αλφαβητική σειρά - λολ): angelab23, karpouzi, kitharoula, px.
Και επειδή το "γειά" μετά από ένα σχεδόν χρόνο, δεν αρκεί, να και κάτι για σας...Από τα ΑΓΑΠΗΜΕΝΑ μου...το θεωρώ ένα από τα καλύτερα τραγούδια του Ροβέρτου (και έχει γράψει ΠΟΛΛΑ τέτοια) και ένα από τα καλύτερα ΠΟΙΗΜΑΤΑ, που έχω διαβάσει. Σχεδόν κάθε στίχος είναι από μόνος του ένα ποίημα. Προσέξτε τον αξεπέραστο συνδυασμό οργής και τρυφερότητας για τη γκόμενα που (προφανώς) πρόσφατα (τον/την) χώρισε και για τον ίδιο του τον εαυτό. Μου θυμίζει αυτό που είχε πει κάποτε (κάποιοι/ες από εσάς δεν ζούσατε τότε ΛΟΛ) η Μπαέζ γαι τον Ντύλαν, σε μίά συνέντευξη: "Εντάξει, δεν είναι όπως τον βλέπεις, κάτι ιδιαίτερο. Οταν, όμως, αρχίζει, να μιλάει...Είναι σα να φτύνει τις λέξεις γεμάτες δηλητήριο"
Ξέρω, ξέρω, πολλά είπαμε...Ladies and gentlemen..."Idiot wind", by Mr. Bob Dylan (στην αγαπημένη μου πιό ροκ εκτέλεση από το live Hard Rain και όχι στην πρώτη από το Blood on the Tracks)
Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess.
They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act
Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts.
Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at,
I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that
Sweet lady.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike
I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like.
There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door,
You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars
After losin' every battle.
I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle.
Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb,
Blowing through the curtains in your room.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart.
Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,
What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top
You're on the bottom.
I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes
don't look into mine.
The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building
burned.
I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime
turned Slowly into autumn.
Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read
Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory
And all your ragin' glory.
I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free,
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me.
You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above,
And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love,
And it makes me feel so sorry.
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
Νάστε καλά :)

Bob Dylan "Series of Dreams"
Bob Dylan "Series of Dreams"
I was thinking of a series of dreamsWhere nothing comes up to the top
Everything stays down where it's wounded
And comes to a permanent stop
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
Nothing too very scientific
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Where the time and the tempo fly
And there's no exit in any direction
'Cept the one that you can't see with your eyes
Wasn't making any great connection
Wasn't falling for any intricate schemeNothing that would pass inspection
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Dreams where the umbrella is folded
Into the path you are hurled
And the cards are no good that you're holding
Unless they're from another world
In one, numbers were burning
In another, I witnessed a crime
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't looking for any special assistance
Not going to any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Απλώς...ΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΡΓΗΜΑΤΙΚΟ..τραγούδι ΚΑΙ κλιπ
Κυριακή 21 Οκτωβρίου 2007
Let the good times roll...εκτός (αλφαβητικής σειράς) Like a Rolling Stone
Δεν ξέρω αν υπάρχει κανείς που ΔΕΝ έχει ακούσει ΑΥΤΟ το τραγούδι (μεταξύ μας, ΦΟΒΑΜΑΙ ότι υπάρχουν αρκετοί - αν και οι εκτελέσεις του είναι πολλές και σημαντικές).
Το θεωρώ ένα από τα αριστουργήματα, όχι μόνο του Dylan (κι έχει γράψει πολλά τέτοια), αλλά της ροκ γενικότερα (απλά να αναφέρουμε ότι το περιοδικό Rolling Stone, στο τεύχος του Νοεμβρίου 2004, το είχε κατατάξει ως το Νο 1 στη λίστα των καλύτερων τραγουδιών όλων των εποχών - να πούμε ακόμη ότι ο γνωστός Greil Marcus έγραψε ενα βιβλίο 300 σελίδων γι' αυτό το τραγούδι που κυκλοφόρησε το 2005 με τίτλο - φυσικά- Like a Rolling Stone).
Ο τίτλος του τραγουδιού λέγεται ότι παραπέμπει στη φράση "πέτρα που κυλάει, δεν πιάνει χορτάρι" ("Α rolling stone gathers no moss."). Επίσης, ένα τραγούδι του Hank Williams, το "Lost Highway," είχε το στίχο "I'm a rolling stone, I'm alone and lost."
Λέγεται ακόμη, πως το τραγούδι το έγραψε ο Dylan για την Edie Sedgwick.
Μία από τις ιστορικές εκτελέσεις του τραγουδιού (ΕΚΤΟΣ, βέβαια, από τις εκτελέσεις του δημιουργού του) ήταν αυτή του Jimi Hendrix στο φεστιβάλ του Monterey το 1967. (ακούστε τη και δείτε τη εδώ).
Ομως, είπαμε ΠΟΛΛΑ...διαβάστε τους στίχους και ακούστε την εκτέλεση που διάλεξα ...επίσης ιστορική...Κυρίες και κύριοι, οι Rolling Stones ΚΑΙ ο Bob Dylan στο "Like a Rolling Stone", Rio de Janeiro, 1998.
Like a Rolling Stone (δίσκος Highway 61 Revisited, 1965)
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Να, επιτέλους, και το κλιπ
