Na Dang Blues in E Major


01/18/1968
OPERATION "YELLOWSTONE" VIETNAM:
Following a hard day, a few members of Company "A,"
3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry (Mechanized), 25th Infantry Division,
gather around a guitar player and sing a few songs.

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you,

Lord,It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, why don't they help themselves?
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,ooh,
they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, son son son

Πες τα ρε Γέρο...


Sharp Dressed Outlaw
The Mighty Kristofferson Goes Pool-Shootin

I dig Bobby Dylan and I dig Johnny Cash
And I think Waylon Jennings is a table thumpin' smash
And hearin' Janis cryin' feels as good as smokin' grass
And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass

'Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand

I said, I dig Roger Miller, Jimmy Rodgers, George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them rockin' Rollin' Stones
And Jerry Lee's still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass

'Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand

H ΕΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΗ ΠΛΗΣΙΑΖΕΙ...


For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

The Man Who Would Be King

RumbleFish

80s: THE HEYDAY
"Diner"/"Rumble Fish"/"The Pope Of Greenwich Village"/"Angel Heart"/"Barfly"
From mysterious and philosophical outlaw biker hero Motorcycle Boy to jazz-lowlife loser private eye Harry Angel, Rourke was according to almost everybody in the bussines, the new Brando.
Simply Sublime.

EARLY 90s: HOW TO FUCK UP A BRILLIANT CAREER
Gave up acting in order to become a professional boxer. Not exactly Jake La Motta, still he could manage to beat the shit out of Carre Otis. Deep in drugs and alcohol, played in shitty movies and was hanging out with the likes of Tupac Shakur and premium mobster John Gotti.
Oh, and the Hell's Angels.
Roles he turned down include the roles of Elliot Ness in the "Untouchables", Jack Crawford in "The Silence of the Lambs", Tom Cruise's role in "Rain Man", a part in "Platoon" and -jesusfuckinchrist- the role of Butch Coolidge in "Pulp Fiction". Boxer Butch Coolidge became the landmark of Bruce Willis' carrer and Rourke lost the chance to resurrect his career alongside John Travolta.
This is what happens when you star in movies like "The Wild Orchid". Way to go, Mickey...

LATE 90s: BACK IN TRACK
In 1995 Rourke retired from boxing and returned to acting, playing brief roles in movies such as Vincent Gallo's "Buffalo '66" and Steve Buscemi's "Animal Factory".

00s: THE COMEBACK
Gradually working hiw way back to full-time acting, Mickey Rourke is a Hollywood star again, in the year 2005. His fantastic and memorable performance as Marv in Robert Rodriguez's adaptation of Frank Miller's "Sin City", was gloriously praised by movie fans and critics worldwide. Smaller parts in "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" and in Tony Scott's "Domino" proved that the boxing days are over for Mickey.
He is back in bussines.

THE FUTURE
Up next for Rourke is the role of The Blackbird in Quentin Tarantino's "Killshot", a part in John McNaughton's "The Night Job" alongside Ray Liotta as well as the return of Marv in "Sin City 2".
Also, Mickey is in Tarantino's cast for "Grind House" and "Inglorious Bastards", plus Guy Richie is said to be writing a film about him.
Not bad at all.

Its really good to have him back.
He COULD have been the new Brando you know...

Blues For The Red Sun

bluesfortheredsun

"Cigarettes will kill you"
And so will boredom.
Well let’s say that the moon is a big lemon.
And the sky is just, well, vodka.
A big sparkling lemon in an infinite vodka sky.
(Those of you who prefer the sky to be a gin sky, that’s alright, it’s just the same to me).
Can somebody get me a slice of that lemon?
I think not.
And Harry Dean Stanton walking with a limb like a crippled Jesus through the desert, and he really doesn’t know who he is, because he is like a dying fuckin cactus. To be sincere, i 'm not quite sure if its possible for a cactus to die cause these sonsofbitches are well known to make their way through the ass-kickin skin-burnin mexican sun but trust me that’s not the point right now.
Book me in La Tropicana. I want a grand piano in the kitchen too. It’s Hollywood, innit?
Walk all the way up to La Cienega? You must be crazy man. It’s three hooker stories and six cigarettes away.
Six cigarettes away from everything and everyone.
And I don’t have a problem with people who don’t smoke. I’ve got a big fuckin problem with people who keep telling me not to smoke. Because it can be very harmful to me, harmful to them, cause that’s what killed the kennedies, and the whole fuckin planet works in LOOSE-SCREW mode, but hey, you know...the cigarettes will kill you. Million skeleton kids die every year somewhere in Africa but, hey man, cigarettes will kill you.
Well, I just can’t seem to defend myself.
Smoking…
So good, I tell you.
And I don’t wanna be in any generation really.
Specially mine.
Middle class post-modern hippies, hooked on ancient medication and all these shit.
And I don’t mind if cigarettes will kill me someday.
I don’t mind about that when its two below zero and six in the morning, and you have to forget about the construction works inside your head after you’ve just drunk the river Nile dry.
So there you go, I beg your pardon ladies and gentlemen, all I need is to lay my weary bones tonight in a bed of California stars. Whatever California Stars.

Even In His Youth

teenage angst has paid off well
now i m bored and old

March 1st, 1994

Nirvana played their last live show in Munich, Germany.

Maybe its not that cool to like Nirvana today.
Today we have so many cool bands with proper pop songs and really nice haircuts.
When i tell people i still like Nirvana, i m just backdated.

Back then though...

broken hymen of your highness
i m left black
throw down your umbilical noose
so i can climb right back

Its wasnt just the hype, the million-selling records and the MTV.

It was that fucking teen spirit, ladies and gentlemen and a bunch of great rock n roll songs
