An interpretation of our "cultural fund" :cool: , as interpreted in the mid-70s. Saw them jamming with Planxty at the Bataclan in 77

I was about 15 when I worked at week-ends pruning hegdes, raking the gravel path, mowing the lawn. when I bought my first guitar, it was the days of "folk revival", it meant "folk songs" from the US. I still have several Pete Seegher's, Woody Guthrie, Big Bill broonzy, Blind Boy Fuller, and young bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen's LPs.

Graeme Allwright was a New-Zealander that made a name in france when I was in my teens, he would adapt songs into French and make some of his own. He just died, 93.

Part of my youth torn away : i would sing his songs and the girls would watch me with stars sparkling in their eyes, and more if suitable 🥴

Fuck athritis, I'll take my old guitar again ! 😄

 
To me, "Rock'n Roll" means Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode, but both Little Richard and Chuck Berry represented the "American Dream" of the late fifties/early sixties.

One seemed to represent the epicurian side of this society which was still rather segregated, the other one had a more "social" message I think. "Tutti Frutti", immediate rather self-centered pleasure, and "Memphis Tennessee", saying a lot about how destitute, second-class citizens lived.

One is expressing the joy of the 60s, the other one telling a more personal story. Both opened the eyes - the ears of those who could listen to them without prejudice, just enjoying their talent.


 
Ian Curtis, lead singer, took his own life this week forty years ago on the eve of a U.S. concert tour.

Unique stage presence.....
 
Lockdown loosened, we can stroll in parks now.


Not sure it will be that cool with a mask on, for a kiss or a drink, but anyway....
