“New York is the thing that seduced me.
New York is the thing that formed me.
New York is the thing that deformed me.
New York is the thing that perverted me.
New York is the thing that converted me.
And New York is the thing that I love too.”
(from an interview on the BBC in 1971)

。。。あれだけストをやって、それでも物流がほとんど滞らなかったんですよ。昔は国鉄が一週間ストライキやったら内閣がふっ飛ぶといわれたんですよ。ところが、１週間超えたにもかかわらず市場原理がそのまま通り、生鮮食料品も高騰しなかった。物流の構造が変わったことが、事実においてわれわれに突きつけられた。となると、王様ぶって『ストライキやればなんとかなる』っていうのは、もう違うと思いました。」
( 「松崎明が語る ③ 苦渋」より)
I read that you took a stand
And refused to kill in Vietnam.
You said no man was your enemy
What he's fighting for is to be free.
Ghetto streets lead nowhere
Ghetto cries fill the air.
Uncle Sam's in Nam to loot and rob
And people starve at home cause there's no jobs.
Oh ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
Soldier, we love you
Yeah, soldier we love you
Standing strong
'Cause it's hard to do
What you know you must do
Cause it's true
Yes, it's true.
They locked you up in their stockades
Yeah, they locked you up 'cause they're afraid
That you would rap and spread the word
But you can't jail truth, it will be heard.
Oh, ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
Soldier, we love you
Yeah, soldier we love you
Standing strong
Yes, it's hard to do
What you know you must do
Cause it's true
Yes, it's true.
In 1964, Humberto Branco had taken over the government in a military coup, recessed the Congress, and started cracking down on leftists and political rivals.
At the same time, hordes of idealistic youth like Gilberto Gil poured into the capital, bringing fresh ideas and creative new directions in music, film, and art - and challenging the military dictatorship.
With Caetano Veloso, Gil was one of the founders of Tropicalia, a musical movement born in 1967, which was influenced by poesia concreta, a genre of Brazilian avant garde poetry,and fused bossa nova with Brazilian folk music, rock, and political and social messages.
At the same time, the Tropicalia art movement was exploring new directions in graphics and architecture, while Cinema Novo (New Cinema) directors were exposing the country's vast poverty.
The new generation of Brazilian artists absorbed everything from campus protests in Berkeley and Black Panther rhetoric to the French New Wave and Norman Mailer as they formulated their own contributions to the late-60s creative explosion.

The image of students in Tokyo getting high on imported birdseed doesn't jump to the fore.
"The simplest way for people to get marijuana was in pet stores," recalls Koji Takazawa ( 高沢皓司 ), a leader of Zenkyoto, an alliance of Japanese student movements in the 60s. "There were hemp seeds in the birdseed, so people bought the birdseed and grew their own marijuana."
Japanese Psychedelic Hippie ( フーテン族 ) in Shinjuku 1967
In the West, little is known about Japanese youth movements of the 1960s, but the Zenkyoto, Zengakuren, and other movements were hugely popular in Japan, protesting Japanese involvement in the Vietnam War, spurring interest in Western music and art, and calling a generation to action, as parallel movement did around the world.The student movement began to mobilize in 1960, when the Japan-US Joint Security Treaty was signed and thousands of University students took to the streets in protest.
Protest against the Japan-US Security Treaty in 1960
In the following years, protests grew louder and angrier, as the military campaigns escalated. "1967 was the year the student campaign really escalated," says Takazawa. "A student was killed in a conflict with riot police and as a result, there was a huge outcry and a big wave of protest." From 1967 to 1970, students at 167 Japanese universities went on strike as part of the Zenkyoto movement.

"Some years later, nearly all the popular musicians in Japan had come out of that cultural stream," says Takazawa, who says members of the 60s youth movements used the Japanese cartooning tradition, Manga, in their posters and art, transforming it into the cultural force it has become.
1969年といえば、前年のフランスに続いてイタリアでもアントニオ・ネグリ(Antonio Negri)の唱導するアウトノミア運動等の左翼運動が高揚し、「熱い秋」を迎えた年だった。その12月12日、ミラノのフォンタナ広場にある農業銀行で 時限爆弾が爆発し、死者17人、負傷者80数名の大惨事を引き起こした。この日ローマ他四か所でも爆発があり、事件は「同時多発テロ」だった。これがイタリアで初めての「無差別テロ」で、以後イタリアでは左右の武装組織によるテロが相次ぎ、「鉛の時代」(years of lead , it: anni di piombo)と呼ばれる重苦しい時代に入る。
敵対者を直接攻撃するのではなく、左翼を装ってテロを起こし、市民の間に恐怖と不安を煽って左翼を危険視させ、社会的な緊張を高めることで、政府が安全保障政策（統制政策）を前面に出しやすくする。国家非常事態を宣言することもできるだろう。それによって左翼運動を圧殺しようというのが「緊張の戦略」(The strategy of tension)だと言うのである。

Amidst the dreariness of north England, white working class youth reinvented their lives at Northern Soul all-nighters, dancing to forgotten black American soul singles from the 1960s. Down South, as Mods metamorphosed into skinheads, this cult focused more on Caribbean sounds - ska, rocksteady and reggae. They jerked to these itchy Jamaican rhythms in youth clubs from Catford to Croydon, Dagenham to Deptford.

The Rivers of Blood speech was a controversial speech about immigration made on April 20, 1968 by the British politician Enoch Powell.
Powell warned his audience of what he believed would be the consequences of continued immigration to Britain from Commonwealth countries. His speech included the following words, referring to the Race Relations Bill then coming before parliament:
"Here is the means of showing that the immigrant communities can organise to consolidate their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens, and to overawe and dominate the rest with the legal weapons which the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided. As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.'"
in 1970 ska and reggae singer Millie sang "Enoch Power" against Powell. The song began with the German national anthem.
from Telegraph article
Critics have described his portrayal of troubled singer Ian Curtis, who committed suicide on the eve of the band's first American tour, as "spectacular" and "outstanding".
Yesterday it received a standing ovation at its premiere on the Croisette. Even surviving members of the group were impressed.
Peter Hook, the bass player with Joy Division and New Order which evolved from it, said: "He really caught the essence of Ian's character. It was like hearing Ian. It sent shivers down my spine."
Their biggest hit was Love Will Tear Us Apart. His illness and tangled love life as well as the increasing responsibilities of the band led to him being unable to cope with the world. He hanged himself in his home exactly 27 years ago today(17th May 1980), aged 23.
from Billboard article
Shot in stark black-and-white and set in gritty, unglamorous 1970s England,
it re-creates the life of a singer who died unhappy and almost unknown
but has secured a place in rock mythology.
The part came out of the blue for Riley, 27, who abandoned an acting career
to take an unsuccessful shot at fame with his band 10,000 Things.
When Riley heard about auditions for the film,
"I was working in a warehouse in Leeds, folding shirts."
Netherlands-born Corbijn, who turns 52 on Sunday,
photographed Joy Division for British music magazines
and went on to design album covers for Depeche Mode and U2.
When he moved to Britain in 1979, Corbijn said he was shocked by
the country's austerity and poverty. "A lot of bands I met, including Joy Division,
were kind of underdressed -- a thin coat on, smoking and shivering in the cold," he said.
"When I met Sam, it was also in the winter and he was totally the same."
Pale and big-eyed, Riley resembles Curtis -- but more importantly, said Corbijn,
he "had an innocence and a freshness that I was hoping for but never thought I would find."
"My whole memory of that period is black and white," Corbijn said.
"There is basically no color photography of that band around.
So it felt very proper to the project."

"...my favourite memory was the first time i saw Television play,

and i ahhh..., i saw Tom Verlaine,and we've been friends ever since."
Patti Smith is featured in upcomin' documentary film called "Black White + Gray" which refers to the symbiotic relationship Sam Wagstaff(influential art curator and collector) shared with

"...first time i saw a dj who was
not just playing records, but creating atmosphere.
and that was a big defference.
and i realized that's what i wanted to do,
not play records,create atmosphere."
"...i was a white boy,from brooklyn italian boy,
and i partied amongst asians,amongst latins,amongst blacks,
and i met people from all over the world,
and it was a cultural experience,you know.
to me,the Loft was a first place i've ever gone to
where music was continuous"

Nothern Lights Film Festival A documentary musical about Finland’s 1970s generation, and their protests that demanded a better world. Music played a central role in political protest and just like millions of other young people across the globe, Finland’s youth started bands whose songs told stories of battles, socialism, and described the horrors of the events unfolding in Vietnam and Chile.
This film not only celebrates their passion but also looks at what happened next as they grew up and started to join ‘conventional’ society.
Combining live music from the time alongside new footage of the original musicians singing their old combat songs within the confines of their current jobs, this is a fascinating look at the human psyche, showing just how easy it can be to forget what you believe in and move on with the rat race.
Finnish Film Foundation Revolution is a documentary musical about the 70’s generation’s fight for a better world. Socialism seemed like a real alternative. The movement offered a whole unified world where it would be easy to be on the right side – against anything old and reactionary. Songs played a central role in this revolution. Hundreds of song groups sprung up. The songs told stories of battles, solidarity, socialism, Vietnam, Chile. Now middle-aged former revolutionaries return to their combat songs, singing in the environments revealing their present status and work places. Music creates some distance and in many ways, depicts the experiences and spirit of the era. The music also symbolizes the pomposity and rhetoric often so blatantly and comically at odds with reality and everyday life.
