People
Bad teachers
It’s the spirit of the times.
Shitty times…
So shitty that we even have to worry about certain people, bald-headed idiots who love to march in groups and who, if they had lived in those times they crave so much, would have been cannon fodder or guests of their prisons.
As for those who beat each other with belts at their concerts to prove their virility, I'm sorry, but I just can't take them seriously…
So I look elsewhere: to those who are in love with swastikas, uniforms, and trinkets of a bygone era, even if they say it's not true, they’re ashamed, they claim it’s irony, situationism…
I don’t know if it's a lack of guts, mental confusion, or something else. Better, much better, to have someone like Lemmy (what can I do if Nazi uniforms are the coolest of all?).
It's a shame because some records are actually good (Cashmore, under his name or as Nature and Organisation, for example, has made some really nice things).
So if I have to point one out, I’ll mention this record by Boyd Rice, which I already like from the title and is considered a kind of manifesto of the genre.
If you get past the ridiculousness of the internal photos in the booklet, the music is actually, in its own way, pleasant…
Of course, I doubt he really understands what he’s saying (it seems unlikely that he could refer to the enlightened bourgeois liberalism of a Tocqueville who saw democracy as the dictatorship of the mediocre or to Plato's anti-egalitarian political utopia…but there you go! This is what we’ve got).
Bad teacher. Perhaps.

John Zorn - Lucifer Rising
Smell of sulfur (rock and satanism part 3)
Here, if we want to take them seriously, then we must talk about paganism, esoteric cults, the Church of Thelema, demonology, spiritualism, etc. etc.
Philosophies of gnosis and mystery religions.
There are those who study them, those who know them, those who analyze them.
Like the power of IAO….
Zorn made an album for us. Music for invocation rituals.
I don’t believe in it.
But this is the only album I never listen to when I’m home alone!

Attack of the Demon (Remastered)

Smell of sulfur (Rock and satanism part 2).
Well, if we really want to play this game, then the first name we must mention is that of the Black Widow. Their “Sacrifice” is perhaps the first (before Coven, Comus, and Black Sabbath…), but certainly the darkest of “black” rock albums.
A true black mass, a ritual of evocation carefully crafted down to the last detail, with genuine expertise and staged with great theatrical flair.
Someone was even frightened…
Of course, the devil was not kind to them, and success was granted to others.
Those who were just pretending.

Sweet Home Chicago
“Where the people eat and drink, even where they worship, there is usually stench. One should not enter a church if they want to breathe pure air.” (Nietzsche).
Smell of sulfur (Rock and Satanism, part 1).
So, if I really have to imagine it – old Lucifer – I picture him with De Niro's face as Louis Cyphre in "Angel Heart" while he peels that egg…
And I see him laughing at all those idiots dressed up like fools who invoke him making all those growls and nasty faces…
Not that there isn't horror, not that there isn't wickedness, not that there isn't brutality, but that's the stupid and mundane side of Evil. With that, he lets men play….
Sure, there's much to say about the relationship between rock and satanism, and the role of Anton LaVey in the underground culture of the '60s should certainly be investigated, and here and there a bit of a sulfur smell has been sensed…
But the rest has been mostly about ridiculous masquerades, circus clowns, broken needles on records played backward, and silly stories to scare children!
However, if there's one music (and only one) that I imagine could accompany old Louis while he peels his egg, it’s this: the raspy singing of Robert Johnson, that voice coming from the deep dark, that music that speaks of pain without redemption.
The bluesman who sold his soul to the devil.

John Phillips -"Drum"
“Polemos is the father of all things” (Heraclitus)
Isn't evil the true engine of the Universe? A peaceful world would be a dead world.
But instead of boring you with trivial philosophical musings, here’s a little story I was saving for a rainy day… (when I found the time and the motivation to tell it properly).
He is Papa John Philips, and if his name doesn’t ring a bell, think of “California Dreamin’.”
That’s right, the Mamas & Papas….
The California dream, the flower children, universal love… and a crystalline, sunny pop. Too bad the group breaks up over a story of infidelity!
Okay, John is the main mind and continues solo, putting out an album that is a masterpiece: “John, The Wolf King Of L.A.”. Then he releases a couple more nice ones, but this one! This is a Perfect Pop Album! Beautiful.
Our Papa John is also generous enough to gift his friend Scott Mackenzie that “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)” which will become his biggest hit (and one of the best-selling records of all time).
So what’s the dark side lurking behind all this?
It’s a love story (love, yes), a diseased, deformed, unacceptable love, because it is directed towards his underage daughter, Mackenzie (a name that recurs). He introduces her to drugs and subjugates her (but her sister, on the other hand, says she was willing) for a whole ten years.
Then Mackenzie gets pregnant….
Now this story I will need to tell better than this because it deserves it, because it’s more complicated than it seems (it’s incredible, it’s absurd, but it’s a love story), because it raises some questions.
For now, let’s just listen to that crystalline, sunny, clear pop album. Perfect!
And be astounded knowing what dark abyss enveloped it.

Yahowa 13 - Man The Messiah
#badguys
These are really bad. The elusive guru Ya-Ho-Wha or Father Yod, born James Edward Baker from Cincinnati (Ohio), founded a cult that Sky Saxon of the Seeds joined. This messiah-yogin initially followed the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, a Sikh authority and master of White Tantra, before diving into Western esotericism, randomly drawing from alchemy, cabala, theosophy, and the most naive occultism imaginable, to the extent that he "conceived" some of his own secret, esoteric doctrines. He thought it was a good idea to combine them with a healthy vegetarianism. Quite coincidentally, he owned the Source, a large chain of vegetarian restaurants (with regular customers like John Lennon). His commune (the Source Family) was located on the hills of Hollywood. In addition to leading it spiritually, he had 14 wives and his own rock band, psychedelic and tribal, called Yahowha 13, of which he was the singer. Saxon, having entered this circle, collaborated in the recording of their albums, receiving from Ya-Ho-Wha the new name of Sunlight in exchange for all his personal belongings as well as his copyright. The guru then entrusted him with two fundamental tasks:

1) The practice of esoteric music.

2) The care of stray dogs.

P.S. Also worth appreciating is the album cover.

I hate you
I hate you before
I hate you during
I hate you after
I have always hated you
I will always hate you
I hate you regardless
Because you wanted us dead
Because you copied our symbol
Because you wanted the merger
Because you offend our dead
Because you celebrated over your dead
Because you offend correctness
Because you offend loyalty
Because you have no shame
Because your pride is nothing but bullying by any means
Because you are doped
Because you are gamblers
Because you are recommended
Because you are thieves
Because you are arrogant and presumptuous
Because you are slimy and arrogant
Because you are parasites
Because you take ownership of someone else's city
And because 3/4 of you need a navigator to get there
Because you don't know history
Because you are everywhere and nowhere
Because you have no roots
Because you have no passion other than for the result
Because 2 out of 3 contest
Because you have always obstructed others' opportunities with your vile power
Because you have crappy colors
Because at hockey, at least the referees have the decency to wear black and white
Because even the jersey is not original
Because you copy the chants
Because you copy the choreographies
Because the choreographies are paid for by the club
Because you make spelling mistakes in the choreographies
Because even Mickey Mouse mocked you
Because we Macario and Simona Ventura, you Mughini and Littizzetto…
Because the State funds you
Because the institutions bow to the will of your "kings"
Because you are uglier than the Multipla

Because in every city they attack the bus

Because at the eightieth minute you leave the stadium to avoid traffic
Because Bisceglie Bianconera and Juventus Club Barletta sing "Torino is black and white"
Because you cheer for Vesuvius and then you’re full of "napuli"
Because you can't explain why you support that team
For all the thefts
Because you look like a cemetery
Because you put sound barriers in front of the away section
Because when the team enters the field you turn off the lights as if they were the Harlem Globetrotters
For the filthy chant "shit" at every goal kick of the opposing goalkeeper
Because it's probably the only chant you know
Because even the widow of your captain is not happy that you’ve named that kind of curve after her husband
Because at the 2006 Olympics you wanted to package Fila
Because you have no respect even for those who have given you a career
Because in three years they have refurbished your home at the expense of the Italians, since the land on which it rests was municipal and has been given free to a private company that makes profits.
Because you have seized an area of 350,000 square meters at the price of fifty-eight cents per square meter
Because you defend the mafia
Because you are MAFIA of Turin since 1897
Because "the end justifies the means"

#the bad guys... but the real ones...

Booker T & His Electric Shock

And what do we make of this gentleman? Lacking in almost total talent but endowed with a Croesus-like wealth, he decided to become a rockstar by convincing other, much more talented Californian musicians to form a band, certainly because he sensed both the business opportunity (it was the era when records sold in millions) and to give life to his true passion, which as a rockstar he could indulge in freely: women.

However, being able to afford a genuine and efficient cohort of lawyers, he literally dispossessed the 'real' musicians of everything (rights to the songs, to the name). Thus began his journey as an authentic and dissolute Roman Emperor, squandering infinite wealth in parties filled with substances and women galore. The women, as time went on, increasingly younger, more and more, more and more... beyond that limit where one ends up in that degenerative disease called pedophilia. And even there, stories of girls seduced and powerless parents up against the usual legal army against which no ammunition could be effective.

It seems (though it's not known for sure) that after all these excesses he died in a coma due to the consequences of a car accident, alone and abandoned by everyone in a hospital bed, stripped of all his possessions. With the plug pulled the moment his financial resources could no longer cover the clinic's costs.

However, he gave us (okay, the geniuses were Michael Lloyd and the Harris brothers... but the label 'West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band' is also thanks to his 'organizational' merit) beautiful music.

#the bad ones those who have dealt with this person (musicians, record labels, simple acquaintances) have always feared the worst (indeed, they sentenced him to twenty years in prison: he stabbed a man to death during a party). But he has also been able to enjoy beautiful music
