calypsus_1 Nov 15, 2012 - 15:21 | .............The Police - Walking On The Moon The Wailin' Jennys - Storm Comin' Solomon Burke - None Of Us Are Free S.E. Rogie - Kpindigbee Jerry Douglas - Route Irish Dire Straits - Single Handed Sailor Counting Crows - Anna Begins................ Well, I think there will be no radio stations around the world, presenting a "set" (30 min.) equal or even similar. Why? There may be many whys .... or do not know, or do not want, or are not interested, or lack of independence, or is not profitable (market dependency). Or all reasons combined. RP is different. "None Of Us Are Free". Is true. Like says no one are completly independent. Because we are subject, permanently, changes and alterations, that is the nature of the world in which we live. But, it is proven, it is possible to combine all the factors, market, industry, diversity, entertainment, without losing the "cable", without losing "sight", without sacrificing the values, artistic quality, memories, authenticity, tradition, talent, innovation, harmony. Because it takes know-how & art. When it seems that everything is already done, everything is invented, this is a terrible mistake. Because you have to pass the "baton" to new generations. You need to reinvent. Music can not be just an entertainment factor. This is reductive and alienating. Music can not or should become, to submit to a mere product of industrial manufacturing, and its creators in some "automata" handlers of electronic artifacts. The music has to have soul. Music has always, to be associated with the culture of the peoples in all its aspects, social, cultural, historical, political, spiritual. Only then will reach its goal. Producing well-being and satisfaction to those who hear and feel. This requires "know-how" and Art. |

Oh, and if you haven't heard: The revolution will not be televised. Gil Scott is dead....but last I noticed, revolutions are televised (see, Egypt, 2011). Or at least on twitter.... Use the web for change! Peace. ps what is Cf. ? |
AndyJ Jul 27, 2012 - 16:19 | Makes me think of beach bar dance floor, smooth concrete and sand, with cold beer ... time to get up and move around... Summer is coming to an end in the Northern Hemisphere... I'd think of Oz, Fiji or somewhere along the islands and peninsulaa up towards SEAsia... But without black blues music... It's not the same... The only place we find freedom is in song and dance... Make a Joyful Noise and move some feet. |
Bobert_ParkCity Jul 27, 2012 - 16:15 | Gotta admit that I'd never heard of Mr Burke b4 reading High Fidelity - But I caught up. He's the man, for sure, though not too hopeful this situation (none of us are free...) changes anytime soon.... |

By the logic of the grammar purists here, the Rolling Stones should have sung "I Can't Get Any Satisfaction" because it's more grammatically "correct" than the alleged double negative. Unfortunately, if you can't play it right, you can't play it good. Your comments about grammar only highlight a lack of awareness of the distinction between prescriptive and descriptive linguistics. Most professional musicians (for the most part) are highly skilled technicians, breaking the rules to produce an emotive response. Thus, I (and you, apparently) can't get no satisfaction. And none of us be free. Peace, out. |
satkinson Jun 26, 2012 - 06:05 | I'm a grammar pedant too as my dad corrected me from an early age (it finally sank in during my twenties!). So hearing this really grates! None of us is free. Grrrr! The song would be all right otherwise. |

TerryS Dec 18, 2011 - 18:17 | Heard the Sojourners do this song better, until the 15th chorus at the end. There may have been more, but I was gone - free, as you might say. |

I can apperciate the message, importance of Solomon Burke himself, and hear the natural talent in the music... but it's getting too much play in my opinion. I want to lower my rating of this song because I'm tired of hearing it, but at the same time I can't stop thinking of it so highly. Ugh. |
Dahlia_Gumbo Oct 08, 2011 - 14:53 | True. |

lkovathana Aug 27, 2011 - 20:52 | Wow, what a great song. Love it. |
Dahlia_Gumbo Aug 24, 2011 - 21:54 | It's good, but a tad too repetitive. But that's a pet peeve of mine in a lot of songs. I like lyrics and poetry with my tunes. |
