In 2016 the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan. He was the first folk singer to to win the award. Mr. Dylan did not bother to travel to Stockholm at the Nobel ceremony, however he recorded his Nobel Prize Lecture in 2017.

In his lecture Dylan discusses (his way) Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and quotes some verses from a song, You Ain't Talkin' to Me, attributed to Charlie Poole.

However there is a problem. The quote was not by Charlie Poole: the verses were actually written many years later by Jim Krause and recorded The Alferd Packer Memorial String Band in 1985.

Our website was one of the two (together with Mudcat) having the lyrics of the song. Today, thanks to The Alferd Packer Memorial String Band and to Jim Krause we can publish the complete lyrics of the song and a link for listening.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Leaving On A Jet Plane
I heard that Leaving on a Jet Plane is about a flight attendant (AKA stewardess). Flight Attendants were not allowed to be married in the 50s and 60s. The flight attendants who did marry did so secretly and would remove their wedding ring when they went to work so they wouldn't be terminated.

Dialogue Maïeutique

Ce titre « Les Sorciers », Lucien l’âne mon ami, résume le thème de la chanson qui présente le début du procès fait à Katheline et à Joos Damman, son amant maléfique. Cependant, avant d’aller plus loin, il me faut faire un petit commentaire à propos du mot « sorcier » et de ses dérivés : « sorcière, sorcellerie, etc. ». Des sorciers, etc., grosso modo, il y en a deux grandes catégories : les sorciers, etc.(Katheline, la bonne sorcière) qui sont des guérisseurs du corps et de la psyché, des sages, des savants, des intercesseurs entre l’homme...

L'eremita ornamentale: la vera storia dei nani da giardino viventi
it.wikipedia

Per eremita ornamentale o eremita da giardino si intende una persona che accettava di vivere in un eremo appositamente costruito nella villa di un ricco proprietario terriero.

La moda degli eremiti ornamentali si diffuse a cavallo fra il diciottesimo e il diciannovesimo secolo fra l'aristocrazia inglese quando alcuni nobili iniziarono a "decorare" le proprie abitazioni con degli eremiti che vivevano in rudimentali abitazioni. Il compito dell'eremita ornamentale era quello di comparire in determinati periodi del giorno al fine di essere osservato dal suo padrone e dagli ospiti e, sebbene non potesse rivolgere la parola a nessuno, in alcune occasioni era tenuto a intrattenere l'interlocutore con discorsi filosofici. Gli eremiti ornamentali vengono citati in molte fonti per la loro stravaganza e sono considerati... (Continues)

Debbo dire che cosa mi ha ricordato esattamente il (difficile) testo di questa canzone densa e concettuosa: mi è sembrata la precisa trasposizione di uno delle più celebri discronie di ogni tempo, vale a dire Il tallone di ferro di Jack London. Anche per questo, nella mia traduzione italiana, in diversi punti ho senz'altro interpretato (uno per tutti: il verso Som främjat det bestående och det som leder bakåt , alla lettera: “[la falsità] che ha fomentato/promosso/incoraggiato ciò che esiste e ciò che porta indietro”, e che ho reso: “che ha fomentato l'ordine esistente e la retrività” (ma possibile anche: “il conservatorismo”), mentre in altri mi sono invece sforzato di attenermi alla lettera più precisa. La chiusa decisamente brechtiana della traduzione è venuta da sola. [RV]

Suite XVI

The fastest song the band has ever recorded. I wanted to cram in as many chord changes as we could and still keep the whole thing rocketing alone. It was inspired by reading about some of the notes, letters and diaries that were found in the allied trenches during the First World War, left by soldiers about to go over the top, never to be seen, and in many cases never to be found, again. I thought it was stirring stuff, heart breaking, poignant, and in the case of many a British Tommy, blackly amusing…never say fucking die…sometimes all there is left is to laugh…

Counterpointing dark subject matter again with a jolly upbeat tune and melody seemed to be key here, and we rattled this off in no time once we’d worked it through. It’s not easy playing as fast as this and keeping it tight, and we’ve been playing it live recently too…a first… As an aside, this was the song I mentioned... (Continues)

Aural Sculpture

That was mine, just a JJ 'where things are now' song. It was one of my melancholy songs about the very strong images that had occurred during my life, while I was growing up. The 'Orange road burning' was about the self immolation of Buddhist priests during the Vietnam war, setting themselves on fire. The 'Youth on fire' referred to Jan Palak, who I'd talked about before on Euroman. The 'Metal machines...' line was about the Prague spring in '68, when the Czechs tried to be much more liberal and the Russian tanks just rolled in. 'Two generations' referred to the two world wars, 'Birth pains' was about the birth of Israel and what I remembered about the Yom Kippur war. 'Freedom in the shape of disease' was about AIDS, suddenly this new word AIDS had arisen when we were writing Sculpture. It was an unknown disease then. 'Kids whose bellies' was about the west and the... (Continues)
