#Music fans should pay attention to this #documentary #film - The 9 Lives of #BarbaraDane - A huge talent whose career remained under appreciated because of her dedication to #anti-warprotest, the #civilrights movement + #workerrights. Her talents as a #blues, #folk + #jazz singer were astounding!

“The very writing of a poem or a speech or the raising of a song,” Barbara wrote in her memoir, “was a kind of victory in itself, a triumph over censorship or marginalization, disparagement or even death.” #BarbaraDane #Music #FolkMusic #ProtestMusic #SocialJustice #CivilRights #AgaiinstTheCurrent #USPol #History #Sociology https://againstthecurrent.org/atc235/remembering-barbara-dane/

With parking lots filled up with playgrounds and schools, /
We can do what we like 'cause we like what we do. /
We'll build gardens and hospitals in every mall, /
And we’ll stop the wars once and for all. /
What? /
Stop the wars once and for all! /
What? /
Stop the wars once and for all! Yeah! /
Be reasonable, and demand the impossible now. /
Yes, be reasonable, and demand the impossible now.”Barbara Dane interviewed 2018 https://www.democracynow.org/2023/5/12/legendary_singer_activist_barbara_dane_turns

🕯️ RIP Barbara Dane 🕯️
Legendary Blues, Jazz, Folk Singer and Political Activist. She began her career in 1957. Ebony Magazine said of her in 1959 "startlingly blonde, especially when that powerful dusky alto voice begins to moan of trouble, two-timing men and freedom"
She was 97 ...

As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 691 on The List, submitted by platenworm.
I hate the capitalist system
And I’ll tell you the reason why
It has caused me so much suffering
And my dearest friends to dieSo begins the title track, and my discovery of my new hero (who just turned 97 in May!). Not only is the music great, particularly Dane’s clear bluesy voice that demands attention, but the lyrics are still so relevant today. With track titles like “Deportees (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)”, “Ludlow Massacre”, “I Don’t Want Your Millions, Mister”, and “Working Class Woman”, it’s obvious this album isn’t full of romantic ballads or some such.
Dane has been praised by the likes of Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan, and, if you give this one a spin, it’s easy to see why.
But while we march and mourn today
There’s much more we must do
We must teach ourselves to organize
And see the struggle through
Blood flowed upon the 4th of May
And we’ll know it’s color well
‘Til we sink this murdering system
In the darkest pits of hell– “The Kent State Massacre”

*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “Will you visit me please”, “If I open my door”, and “In cars?”, following the earlier survey that had “Here in my car”, “Where the image”, and “Breaks down”. The second phrase was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being “I”.
