I Ain't Marching Any More is Phil Ochs' second LP, released on Elektra Records in 1965.

Ochs performs alone on twelve original songs, an interpretation of Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman" set to music (much as Poe's "The Bells" had been set to music on the previous album) and a cover of Ewan MacColl's "The Ballad of the Carpenter".

Of the twelve originals, probably the most noted was the title track, with its distinctive trilling guitar part, that spoke of a soldier sick of fighting. Also of note was the album closer, "Here's to the State of Mississippi", a biting criticism of that state's lack of civil rights and generally bigoted attitude. Other important songs include "Draft Dodger Rag" (assailing those "red blooded Americans" who were in favor of US participation in the Vietnam War but did not fight because they were just summertime soldiers and sunshine patriots),.. - Wikipedia

"I saw children still being slaughtered
The monster must have its fill
While the people with #power sat on their hands
And supplied the #weapons that kill.

I weep for the people of Gaza
And they are weeping still
And I curse the ones who did nothing
And enable the monster to kill."

"A #Song for #Gaza: The #Ballad of Rivka and Mohammed", #LeonRosselson

Siamo governati da volpi guerrafondaie che cercano di convincerci ogni giorno che continuano a costruire armi per il bene del pollaio.

Phil Ochs on Let's Sing Out - 27th September 1965

"So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
Serve your country in her suicide
Find the flags so you can wave goodbye
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try "

In questi tempi di guerra, guerrafondai e bombardamenti mediatici che stanno continuamente a ricordarci che le guerre sono giuste e necessarie e che Dio è sempre dalla nostra Parte, Maurizio Capone ripropone ‘O Sang è Sang, una sua pietra miliare scagliata contro ogni forma di violenza e crudeltà a mano armata.

Ne parlo qua.

"Oh Signore, non permettere Loro di sganciare quella Bomba Atomica su di me."

Parole e musica di Charles Mingus.

Un esorcismo per questi tempi di guerre, preoccupazioni e grandi affari.

Potete leggerlo e ascoltarlo qua. In un paio di versioni e qualche nota storica.
