Ohio - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (Music And Song Courtesy:Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)

You should always read things without thinking about who wrote them.
But it’s never like that: that’s why many people struggle.

Many young mothers (but also fathers, though for some reason I prefer mothers) thank me when I try to make their little ones understand that teaching how to play a guitar also means telling a story—and at the same time learning it for themselves each time, more than for the mentally callow children of this unfortunate era.
And if you don’t get that, it’s better to devote yourself to something else, with the brilliant results we all can see.

Such is the case with this piece.

Before explaining the vocal harmonies, the chord progression in Crosby’s Open tuning (ENORMOUS!), the extraordinary sounds Neil draws from his deepest soul, you first have to explain the context.

And here, it’s relevant!
We are now beyond that stupid violence: now, it’s intelligent application.

And many boys—and above all, girls (an issue of superior intelligence)—understand why, before playing, I try to explain to them WHY you play.
And then they either tell me to fuck off or they send me flowers.
A rather bizarre thing, that latter one. violenza:

MIRACULOUS MULE - SHAVE 'EM DRY! (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Actually, I'll start with the usual… DEADLY!!!

England, I don't remember where… on the road since 2011…

Three old burnt-out and very corrupted bluesmen…

4 albums of dirty blues-gospel mixed with hard funky moments, psychedelia, and lots of other stuff…

Obviously in a garage… or in small, dangerous pubs…

The faint-hearted and the laid-back, please abstain…

I love this album too…
 
MARK LANEGAN BAND * MEXICO CITY * 9/4/2012* LIVE It seems it's time to listen to Lanegan again. After a summer of musical frivolities, this lingering end of summer leading into autumn will be filled with Mark Lanegan, "arroganti bottegai."
 
Floh De Cologne - Prima Freiheit
The most challenging and politicized band in 1970s Germany... a sort of Stormy Six-like satire mixed with proto-Residents experimentation.
 
Io Ti Racconto (2006 Digital Remaster)
The intro is a nice, cheerful little waltz, then the lyrics come in and the cheerfulness disappears. Great Claudio.
 
Black-Out (2007 Digital Remaster)
But even Guccini had his cheerful moments (the beginning sounds like a reggae track), great song, my favorite of his
 
Blues Uzi

Miraculous Mule - Downbound Train

England, I don’t remember where… since 2011 on the road…

Three old burnt-out and very corrupted bluesmen…

4 albums of dirty blues-gospel mixed with moments of hard funk, psychedelia and much more...

Obviously in the garage… or in small dangerous pubs…

Cowards and the laid-back, keep away…

Francesco De Gregori - La leva calcistica della classe '68 (Official Audio)
In Turin, during a youth match, the father of one of the boys brutally beats up a 13-year-old, and this old song comes to my mind. When asked how his ideal youth team should be, the great Pulici replied: A team of orphans. rispose:
