OUR MAN in BELIZE, dave delacroix, No: 72: "SONG of Our Time."
dedicato: Gerry Franks.
SONG OF OUR TIME, that "ditty" that curried our moment OR STIRRED our Courage, made mince-meat of enemy propaganda, made US knee-jerk on a Saturday Night, the one U remember, the one U cannot get out of your head?
SONG OF our TIME: Those Icons, VOCALS who inspired the Anti-Fascist Soldiers in MID-1930s in SPAIN (See epic POEM by GEORGE BARKER/I had honor to meet) that HOLLYWOOD never recorded, or the original "Lili Marlene"; who CARES who wrote it yet it became a battle song, subterranean?
SONGS OF our TIME; "Those were the Days." sung by 1960s Mary Hopkins/Welsh speaking Pop Star. Late teenagers craw-ring out of WW11-Europe's ruins which friends in AMERICA cannot understand, diet, health-care; all we HAD was the Beatles, mostly frugality!
CANZONE of OUR time. in PARIS, in ROMA. KIDS put on their ONLY CLOTHES and went out and DANCED. S-WHAT/HOW it was. Love amongst the RUINS. The birth of EURO Rock & Jazz?
Survivors.
SONG of YESTERDAY: La Marsellaise. (French National Anthem) The song 100 Jewish/Gypsy FRENCH GALS fiercely sung as they were forced into the NAZIS Aushwitz GAS CHAMBER. Less we forget?...Not much WOODSTOCK in those days. Song of our time? Which one!? THOSE were the Days. Never again. But IN Life and also in DEATH everybody had a SONG!? How-s YA VOICE?
