LEONARD COHEN: It’s not a hymn

 

'It's not a hymn!' Puzzled Jewish Leonard Cohen fans hit up social media to ask why Hallelujah was performed at Biden's national COVID-19 memorial when it's loaded with sexual lyrics

• Gospel singer Yolanda Adams sang two verses of Leonard Cohen's classic hit 'Hallelujah' at Tuesday's COVID-19 memorial 
• The somber song has become a popular choice to sing at memorial and funeral services since its release in 1984
• But it's not a funeral dirge - it's lyrics are actually sexual, amused Jewish people posted on Twitter after hearing it performed - again - at a sad memorial
• While the lyrics do make biblical references to King David, they actually refer to his adulterous and sinful relationship with Bathsheba

Tribute to Syd Barrett

 http://www.jpsmusicblog.com/2021/01/celebrate-masterful-songwriting-of-syd.html  

Celebrate The Masterful Songwriting Of Syd Barrett With New "Love You" Tribute

For Syd Barrett's 75th birthday, Gonzo Multimedia released a two-disc tribute to the artist titled simply "Love You." It features artists from around the world paying homage to the music of this rock icon. Most of the songs in this set are taken from Barrett's two solo albums following his departure from Pink Floyd, but there are also a couple of Floyd gems sprinkled in this set.

The first disc begins with the loving, acoustic-based "Terrapin," delivered beautifully by Italian artist Andrea Achilli, and on the flip side you have the raw, guitar-driven frenzy of "No Good Trying" by France's Luna Park. The dark overtone of "No Man'd Land" is executed perfectly by Mexico's Humus, while the psychedelic folk sound of "Octopus" by Sherpa (Italy) brings you right back to the sixties, along with In The Labyrinth's (Sweden) nearly eight-minute version of "Golden Hair." The edgy, hard rock approach of "She Took A Long Cold Look" and the sweet balladry of "Late Night" showcases the diversity in Barrett's songwriting, pulling out every emotion he was feeling at that moment. The first disc closes with a collaboration between the Italian duo of Boris Savoldelli and Umberto Petrin on the early Pink Floyd classic "Astronomy Domine."

Disc two starts off with the swirling psychedelic rock of "Baby Lemonade" from ST37 and the playful, innocent sound of "Love Song" by Italy's La Forma Delle Nuvole. One Of Syd Barrett's most masterful pieces of art, "Dominoes" is a sonic trip delivered by Germany's Sula Bassana, while "Waving My Arms In The Air/I Never Lied To You" is an acoustic folk tale from Italy's Luca Raio. The hard sounds of "Wolfpack" is executed perfectly by the USA's Keeper Of Atlantis, before the odd sound experiment "Birdie Hop" takes over your musical mind. This new set finishes with U.K. singer/songwriter Joss Cope filling in the role of storyteller for "Bob Dylan's Blues" and Nick Bensen (USA) mellowing out to the Pink Floydian "Vegetable Man." To find out more about this new collaboration "Love You - A Tribute To Syd Barrett," please visit the Gonzo site

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

THE PROBLEM WITH TEXAS

WE ARE LARGE&PROVIDE PRESIDENTS

We also assassinate them,and have much racism,sexism,fascism..

Our Representatives do not represent.They plunder Aid funs for their private businesses

They lack accountability nd transparency.They are sustained by propaganda and gerrymandering

They make war upon little progressive Austin,as it builds on a Progressive base.

They make reference to THE ALAMO,forgetting it was a defeat.

We claim Libertarian tendencies,but suppress votes.

Disenfranchisement is rampant.Access to vaccines limited.

Hospitals close when they cannot meet economies of scale

'Texas is married to oil and gas lobbies and cannot divorce

Texas is married to a past both mythic and horrendous

A new myth is needed-equality ,respect,harmony and prosperity

And it begins here and now-in Austin,Texas-with TARA!

WALK THIS SOFT ROAD WITH ME-

Where we imbibe the same air, waters, earth, times,

Come to different and divergent conclusions, yet find

Harmony in diversity. Resilience is adaptation.

We do so in each moment. Breathe in, then out again.

Every release a re-lease. I want you to BREATHE WITH ME-

Deeply, consciously, well. To not take anything or anyone for granted.

To Bless this Moment as a Gift. Many things will be lost on this path-

Mostly memories. They shed like skin, like dandruff. Like transients, like snowflakes.

May we be lost together ,so as to learn the Unknown, in good company

And to make all frozen nouns into verbs and participles

And never stop from moving-like air and water, sky and fire-

Together..

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED?

A FROG DOES NOT LIVE WELL IN A LAND OF SNAKES

Virtual is not actual. Power is in the hands of those with nuclear codes.

Treason is in high places. Health is more important than politics.

Poetry ,art, music are vital life signs. Missing? They are replaced by propaganda.

Media always dilutes message. You can not trust those who refuse to trust.

As Carole King sang-"You can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand.

You can't talk to a man when he don't want to understand"

Violence is not a conversation-it is a violation. Treason is an insurrection.

Care, compassion, community are learned values. Best by example.

A promise is not performance. A speech is an empty balloon.

Our country is not yet ruled by foreign powers.

Advertising ,like politicians, adapts to the product sold

Corporate power is not people power. WE ARE THE PEOPLE

Poetry will always be a Petition. SIGN YOUR OWN FATE!

TAKING DOWN PHIL SPECTOR

ALL WALLS FALL

Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall

even the WALL OF SOUND of over-amped Phil Spector

He made the sound of Ike and Tina Turner

He restored the Beatles to auric ambience

via his work with (long gone)John Lennon

Now,in prison,he finally finds a strange freedom

To conduct the orchestras of angels in harmonic heavens

or the daemonic choirs of Dante's hells-

or both...

NOW OUR AURAL SPECTRUM REPLAYS,AMPLIFIED

Ego in overdrive. Leonard Cohen"s -DEATH OF A LADIES MAN"

Dion's "BORN TO BE WITH YOU"

Yoko Ono's -"SEASON OF GLASS"

The Ramones-"END OF THE CENTURY"

George Harrison's "THE CONCERT FOR BANGLA DESH"

And,of course-The Beatles'-"LET IT BE"

And John Lennon-"SOMETIME IN NEW YORK CITY"

Our ears still full of Phil Spector

We saw him on trial. Now he has gone,

we replay his GREATEST HITS

Realize his life was a production

we were all audience in-and cast, and stand-ins-

He was always our Producer...Our Director...Our Personal Tyrant.
