Chicago II
Make me smile. Chicago II is released on January 26, 1970. It's a double-album .. just like the debut album. They had to change their name from that of the debut album -- Chicago Transit Authority -- after a threatened lawsuit from the actual Chicago Transit Authority in their hometown.

"Ты думаешь, я хочу застрелиться?"
"Не бойся, он не заряжен".
Эти две фразы, сказанные Терри Кэтом в последнюю минуту своей жизни, чëрным огнем выжженны в истории рок-музыки.
В этот момент он держал в руках не гитару Fender Telecaster, а револьвер Smith&Wesson.
Это было наутро после алкогольной ночи, когда голова и душа равно опухли от тоски, это было на затянувшейся серой полосе жизни, когда его мучили разлад с женой, разлад в группе и разлад вообще, общий разлад человека с миром.
Всё это было так давно и столько раз рассказано разными голосами в разных местах, что боль стëрлась и уже почти неощутима.
И снова Терри Кэт в своей вечной голубой джинсе выходит перед нами, чтобы сыграть на гитаре то, что он умел играть.
Рывок, стремление, запутанная сложность жизни, прорыв в то пространство, где нет тяготения и ни душа, ни тело ничего не весят и могут лететь всë быстрее и быстрее по рваным линиям и зигзагам звука.
Но прежде с силой толкнут воздух и засияют чистым золотом духовые - три трубы находящейся в зените группы Chicago.

Терри Кэт, человек января (31.01.1946 - 23.01.1978)

Riprendo qui un capolavoro dei #Chicago nel loro secondo irripetibile album eseguito dal vivo, ovvero la suite "Ballet for a Girl in #Buchannon" che praticamente è un mix sublime di #folk, #country, #brass, #alternative, #rock ed è anche #progressive secondo me. Incredibile: anni che l'ascolto e sempre mi stupisce
Musica che sembra fatta da alieni, che trascende i generi e i tempi

Dal secondo album dei #chicago dal vivo la loro inarrivabile grandezza.
Ogni volta che vedo e sento il genio di #TerryKath cantare e suonare, mi viene un tonfo al cuore pensando a come sia tragicamente morto 😞
[per chi non lo sapesse: ubriaco si è puntato la pistola alla testa per gioco pensando che fosse scarica, ma non lo era... 😭 ]
Tragico e bello purtroppo vanno spesso a braccetto.

Ted Tocks Covers = Year 6 - Day 8
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
45 years ago #TerryKath of #Chicago died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A tragic loss. Enjoy this thought-provoking piece of music by #RobertLamm.
And I was walking down the street one day
(People runnin' everywhere)
Being pushed and shoved (don't know where to go)
By people trying to beat the clock (I don't know where I am)
Oh no, so I just don't know (I can't see past the next step)
