A true story. Emmet Till, a Detroiter, was visiting relatives in Mississippi, where he saw the wife of a white shopkeeper. The story goes that he whistled at her. The husband was so incensed that he and a friend went out that night, kidnapped Till, tortured and then killed him. The northern press was so aghast at the brutality of the crime that they printed pictures of Till in his coffin, the marks of torture clearly on his face. The shopkeeper and his friend were caught, and an all-white jury acquitted them. Justice in the South in the 50's
Emmett Till was 14 years old when he was murdered.

I think birdland is referring to the idea that people who suffer from depression may well be able to understand joy on an intellectual level, but they are not able to feel it emotionally; they are not really able to infuse it into their being. The certainty that the joy exists makes the inability to feel it all the more unbearable.

You will not get much of an argument on this from any of Bob's peers or those who thrive performing their own reggae today.
I saw Bob live in Philadelphia in 1978: he is and will always be the man when it comes to Reggae.

Music doesn’t get much more middle of road than this but I suppose middle of the road is where the money is. What a shame that Bob Marley has become the representative of a great music genre.

Amadou & Mariam - Masiteladi
(Nov 02, 2010 - 08:43) | Bluesgrrl wrote: What does Masiteladi mean?
From yahoo answers...
The expression "Massi téladi" is definitely not French; it is Bamanankan, one of the national languages of Mali; a land-locked sub-Saharan country in West Africa, once a French colony. It would appear looking at the lyrics of the song, by Amadou Bagayoko & Mariam Doumbia, most of which I have been able to translate into English. The phrase ("Massi téladi") in relation to the lyrics, seems to point to the possibility that it could, and this is a stab in the dark because it makes sense because of the relationship, mean "unlucky" - it seems to fit. Unless we have somebody in this community who reads, writes and speaks Bamanankan then we will not get a definitive answer.
Note: The original lyrics were written bi-lingual, part French, part Bamanankan
Sorry - best I can do.
Personal note: I like this CD.

Well, they're not American or European; they're African. African music is primarily percussive, which includes even stringed instuments being played with a percussive technique. When you consider the lengthy history of Afican music (think 'chanting', call and response, and their traditional unequal rhythm sections ) and plug it all in for modern amplification, I'd say these guys produce an amazing, often joyful blend of kickass music.

And if the station persists, they get their business license yanked. I'm sure there are ins and outs regarding internet radio vs. commercial radio broadcasting with advertisements and sponsors. This has been happening for years - when the Who came out with "Who Are You?" most radio stations weren't required to censor it. Gradually, though, the FCC started becoming (or catching flack from) the moral majority and implemented strict rules on what could and could not be allowed on the air. Grrr. Freedom of speech - where did it go?

I do like Robert Plant's new cover with his Band of Joy which I had the pleasue of seeing live in Mobile recently. Robert's covers are always such a homage to the artists. He has such a good time presenting the music from which his original inspirations were drawn many years ago with Zepp (yes, I know this song had not been recorded at that time). His version is a little bouncier.
That being said, I think this Los Lobos original is superior, but not by much.

In return, I promise not to trash something you like as though I've just uttered something that ought to have been obvious to you without my help.
For me, the creative energy on display - how many bands create multiple arrangements of a hit song - to play live and keep things interesting for both themselves and their audience? Not many. This is the only I know of. Besides, Jack Cassidy's bass playing on this song runs rings around the melody without ever failing to define the rhythmic punch the song needs - my OPINION, of course, with which many will quite reasonably and freely disagree.
PS: to Zep - I bet you have no musical talent, either. Might explain your cavalier attitude to criticism.

We can hear it in his voice, see it in his eyes, in the way he walks even. Women want to tame something like that. We want to be the one that satisfies him. Same for Brand... who is actually also a very classically handsome man, by the way.

Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be . . . where I'll be
Lovely!

The Plant has shriveled and almost died, gasping it's last breaths in a futile effort to continue on, but alas, can only have the bare garden stakes of other performers prop it up until the inevitable return to the dust of the earth.

Carry on.
Peace.

This causes Bill to inquire, "Are these guys grammatically challenged or do they think, perhaps, we are all one of Santa's reindeer?"

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)
(Jun 26, 2008 - 06:00) | Relayer wrote: plant is a great example of how to continue to make great music in your later years. As opposed to washed up pathetic crap music people like Rod Stewart and Eltin John have put out in the past 10 - 15 years. You guys can complain about Plant, but if you had no idea who was singing with Alison, you would be talking about how great the song is.
Saw them in Asheville, NC a couple of weeks ago. It was a terrific show! Amazing energy. Plant is a master showman who knows just when to pull back. Alisson is ethereal. The energy exchange between them and the band (tight and spooky)was magical. The crowd had a blast and the performers were stoked. A truly memorable concert.

From Wiki...
"God's Gonna Cut You Down", also known as "Run On", is a traditional folk song which has been recorded by numerous artists representing a variety of genres
The song has, in the past, been modified to fit the boundaries of genres like country, folk, gospel and techno. As "God's Gonna Cut You Down", it was performed by Odetta on Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues (1956) and Johnny Cash on the posthumously released American V: A Hundred Highways (2006). As "Run On", it was recorded, among others, by Elvis Presley. A version featuring vocals by Bill Landford & The Landfordaires was remixed by Moby and features on his album Play."
