  1. For the #History theme for this week's #JukeBoxFridayNight, here's "Prisoner" by Scottish folk singer Dick Gaughan. My father introdued me to this song and it's stuck with me. At the time I'd known nothing of German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky and his fate.

    Caution: it's a grim song, with an uneasy message. We cannot let this history repeat.

    "In the struggle against injustice
    He fought hard and he fought long
    Child - remember Ossietsky
    Peace won't come by words alone"

  7. For this week's jukebox music theme, History, here is "Solomon Browne", written and sung by Seth Lakeman, a song about the 1981 Penlee Lifeboat disaster. The RNLI lifeboat Solomon Browne went to rescue five sailors aboard the Union Star after her engines failed off the coast of Cornwall. Sixteen people died, including 8 RNLI volunteers.

    "At fair Mount's Bay, on that Christmas week,
    Was such a raging storm, no man could speak,
    That lifeboat thundered through an angry sea,
    Was called Solomon Browne and her company,
    With courage, it was called,
    On our heroes brave and bold,
    With courage, it was cold,
    On board that night."

  11. Taiwanese history:

    "Who now stands before me like a ghost within a dream? (Within a dream)
    When did come the day when things became not what they seem? (Not what they seem)
    Outside of this palace where my loyalties to lie (Where do they lie?)
    For the gods or demons with but one I choose to die (I choose to die)"

    I decided not to put a CW, but there is some violent imagery in these videos.

  13. For this week's jukebox music theme, here is "Mississippi Goddamn", written and sung by Nina Simone. The song was her impassioned and furious response to the murders of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers and the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, and the many other violent attempts to shut down the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's.

    "That's just the trouble (Too slow)
    Desegregation (Too slow)
    Mass participation (Too slow)
    Reunification (Too slow)
    Do things gradually (Too slow)
    But bring more tragedy (Too slow)
    Why don't you see it, why don't you feel it,
    I don't know, I don't know..."

    T'was the bloody lawyers' poll tax that had brought us labourers here
    And yet he wouldn't see us, so to London we did roar

  17. For this week's jukebox music theme, History, here is "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", written and sung by Gordon Lightfoot. The song commemorates the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the first trans-Canada line, built in the 1880's. The song was written as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations of 1967.

    "So over the mountains, and over the plains,
    Into the muskeg, and into the rain,
    Up the St. Lawrence, all the way to Gaspé,
    Swingin' our hammers, and drawin' our pay,
    Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down,
    Away to the bunkhouse, and into the town,
    A dollar a day, and a place for my head,
    A drink to the livin', a toast to the dead."

  18. For this week's jukebox music theme, History, here is "Burn On", written and performed by Randy Newman. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, US, caught fire due to industrial pollution and oil slicks. The fire was a wake-up call that led to a major environmental clean-up effort, and is partially responsible for the creation of the Environmental Protection Act.

    "Cleveland, city of light, city of magic,
    Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me,
    Cleveland, even now I can remember,
    'Cause the Cuyahoga River goes smoking through my dreams.
    Burn on, big river, burn on,
    Burn on, big river, burn on."

    Cormorant - Junta

    This is a really crushing one, in terms of horrifying events. It's about the 2009 Guinea stadium massacre.

    A rally of pro-democracy protesters in Guinea gathered into the national stadium, asking for regolar elections.

    The military junta, that seized power with a coup before, violently subdued the protesters. Soldiers then proceeded to rape women there.

  22. This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #history. Perfect for my love of folk. Here we have The Diggers Song, or The World Turned Upside Down. I’ve chosen Dick Gaughan’s version, which is less angry than Billy Bragg’s but has a bit more gravitas I think. #DickGaughan #BillyBragg #Folk #FolkMusic

    From Wikipedia:

    They became famous in 1980 with their political song "Culture?" criticising Rob Muldoon, who was Prime Minister at the time and had stated that New Zealand's pop music was not culture. Muldoon had made the remarks in the context of refusing to lift a 40% tax on sales of music.

    In 1959, Johnny Horton had a number one hit US pop hit with his version of Jimmy Driftwood's "The Battle of New Orleans", depicting a battle that was fought between the American and British troops on January 8, 1815:

    youtube.com/watch?v=HBKvKGkYB0Q

    Somewhat less patriotically, Horton also recorded an alternate version of the song for the British market, with "British" changed to "rebels". However, it was Lonnie Donegan who had the British hit - with the original lyrics.

    Before his death in a car crash in 1960, Horton recorded a full album of songs with historical themes, "Johnny Horton Makes History" (1960), with the subtitle "Action Tales of Battles, Heroes, and Epic Events":
