No te apures Carablanca (Tango 1942)
Música: Roberto Garza / Letra: Carlos Bahr
"La única tecnología verbal disponible para garantizar la preservación y fijación de la transmisión, era aquella de la astuta organización rítmica de las palabras en patrones verbales y métricos, que fueran suficientemente únicos para retener su forma."
Hoy Lennon cumpliría 86 años, pero lo mataron a los 40.
No puedo evitar pensar en todo lo hermoso que podría haber creado y compartido con el mundo, este artista tan genial. Qué injusto que es el mundo"On a summer day in 1989, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan met up in Greece and brought their acoustic guitars to the place in Athens where the ancients believed the muses lived. Philopappos Hill, traditionally known as the Hill of the Muses, rises high above the Athens Basin and has a commanding view of the Acropolis. It was June 29. Dylan had just wrapped up a European tour the night before at Panathinaiko Stadium, and Morrison was traveling with a BBC crew for an Arena documentary that would be broadcast in 1991 as One Irish Rover: Van Morrison in Performances. The two legendary singer-songwriters played 4 of Morrison’s songs: “Foreign Window” and “One Irish Rover,” above, and “Crazy Love,” below. A fourth song, “And It Stoned Me,” was apparently cut from the film, but here it is, in all it`s glory even with a false start."
I said "Your old courthouse is kinda run down"
He said "No, it'll do for our little town"
I said "Your old flagpole is kinda leaned a little bit
And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it"
He said "Have a seat" and I sat down
"Is this the first time you've come to our little town?"
I said "I think it is"
He said "I don't like to brag
But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag"
You see we got a little hole in that flag there
When Washington took it across the Delaware
And it got powder burns the night Francis Scott Key
Sat up watching it writing'say can you see?'
And it got a little rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tugging at its seams
And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag but she waved on though
It got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
Got cut again at Shiloh Hill
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard and Bragg
And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag
On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a bad hole from a Bertha gun
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp and low by the time that one was through
She was in Korea and Vietnam
She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam
And now we've about quit waving her back here at home
And in her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied and refused
And now the very government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting threadbare and she's wearing kinda thin
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And she can take a whole lot more
So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slowly every night
We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
On second thought I do like to brag
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag
