Flying high in the friendly sky/Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no/Rest of the folks are tired and weary/Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down./I go the place where danger awaits me/And it's bound to forsake me./So stupid minded./I can't help it/Oh ya, so stupid minded./But I go crazy when I can't find it,/In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend./But soon the night will bring the pains,/The pain, oh the pain/Flying high in the friendly sky/Without ever leaving the ground/And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby/Nobody really understands, no no/And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me/Selfdestruction in my hand/Oh Lord, so stupid minded/Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it/Well I know I'm hooked my friend/To the boy who makes slaves out of men./And oh believe me/Flying high in a friendly sky/Oh baby, flyin' high
L’homme "born in the USA" ou le Patriotisme critique
de Charles Dantzig, Clodilde Pivin

Qu'est-ce qui fait qu'on est Américain? Qu'est-ce qu'être né aux Etats-Unis, s'interroge Bruce Springsteen, dans cette chanson et bien d’autres, qui reprennent souvent le mot « born" (être né), depuis « Born to run »? Quel Américain? Le social prévaut-il sur la communauté? Une communauté empêche-t-elle qu’on en soutienne une autre, comme Springsteen l’a fait avec les Noirs et les gays? Et qu’est-ce que la virilité telle qu’on l’apprend à l’homme né aux USA?
Pour en parler, Charles Dantzig reçoit le journaliste Jean-Marie Pottier, auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur la musique et qui publie ces jours-ci Alternative nation : la scène indépendante americaine 1979-2001 (Le Mot et le Reste, 2021)

Punk dans l'âme, guitare saturée pointée comme une arme, Patti Smith n'a jamais succombé aux sirènes de la célébrité et continue de déconstruire les codes en convoquant un imaginaire foisonnant teinté de poésie. En cinquante ans de carrière, la prêtresse chamanique a créé sa mythologie sans compromis. Un portrait grisant à l’occasion de ses 75 ans.

Southern trees bear strange fruit/Blood on the leaves and blood on the root/Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze/Strange fruit hanging from poplar trees/Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth/Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh/Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck/For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck/For the sun to ripe, to the tree to drop/Here is a strange and bitter crop !

There is a houseIn New Orleans/You call the Rising Sun/Its been the ruin of many a poor soul/And me, oh god, I'm one
If I'd listened what mama said/I'd be at home today/Being so young and foolish, poor girl/Let a gambler lead me astray
My mother she's a tailor/Sews those new blue jeans/My sweetheart he's a drunkard, Lord God/He drinks down in New Orleans
He fills his glasses to the brim/Passes them around/The only pleasure that he gets out of life/Is a going from town to town
The only thing a drunkard needs/Is a suitcase and a trunk/The only time that he's half satisfied/Is when he's all a drunk
Go and tell my baby sister/Never do like I have done/Shun that house down in New Orleans/That they call the Rising Sun
Its one foot on the platform/One foot on the train/I'm going back down to New Orleans/To wear my ball and my chain
My life is almost over/My race is almost run/Going back down to New Orleans/To that house of the Rising Sun

Come back home to the refinery/Hiring man says Son if it was up to me/Went down to see my V.A. man/He said Son, don't you understand now
I had a brother at Khe Sahn/Fighting off the Viet Cong/They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon/I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary/Out by the gas fires of the refinery/I'm ten years burning down the road/Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A./I was born in the U.S.A./Born in the U.S.A./I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A./Born in the U.S.A./Born in the U.S.A./Born in the U.S.A./I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. idem

Nous avons écouté sa musique, nous l'avons regardé bouger, fascinés, et surtout, nous avons dansé sur Billie Jean, Thriller ou Beat it. Comment s’est écrit le mythe Michael Jackson ? Quelles sont les multiples voix qui l’ont raconté ? Ce feuilleton retrace, à travers les récits qui en ont été fait dans les médias et sur les réseaux sociaux, la grandeur et la décadence du King de la Pop. Une proposition musicale et polyphonique pour tenter de regarder dans le miroir, là où se reflètent nos propres passions.

Come you masters of war/You that build the big guns/You that build the death planes/You that build all the bombs/You that hide behind walls/You that hide behind desks/I just want you to know/I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'/But build to destroy/You play with my world/Like it's your little toy/You put a gun in my hand/And you hide from my eyes/And you turn and run farther/When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old/You lie and deceive/A world war can be won/You want me to believe/But I see through your eyes/And I see through your brain/Like I see through the water/That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers/For the others to fire/Then you sit back and watch/When the death count gets higher/You hide in your mansion/While the young people's blood/Flows out of their bodies/And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear/That can ever be hurled/Fear to bring children/Into the world/For threatening my baby/Unborn and unnamed/You ain't worth the blood/That runs in your veins
How much do I know/To talk out of turn/You might say that I'm young/You might say I'm unlearned/But there's one thing I know/Though I'm younger than you/That even Jesus would never/Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question/Is your money that good?/Will it buy you forgiveness/Do you think that it could?/I think you will find/When your death takes its toll/All the money you made/Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die/And your death will come soon/I'll follow your casket/By the pale afternoon/And I'll watch while you're lowered/Down to your deathbed/And I'll stand over your grave/'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Alls my life I has to fight, nigga/Alls my life I.../Hard times like, "Yah!"/Bad trips like, "Yah!"
Nazareth, I'm fucked up/Homie, you fucked up/But if God got us, then we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/We gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/Huh? We gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're looking at me for the pay cut/But homicide be looking at you from the face down/What MAC-11 even boom with the bass down?/Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life/Painkillers only put me in the twilight/Where pretty pussy and Benjamin is the highlight/Now tell my momma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows/Twenty of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me/Reaping everything I sow, so my karma come in heaven/No preliminary hearings on my record/I'm a motherfucking gangster in silence for the record, uh/Tell the world I know it's too late/Boys and girls, I think I gone cray/Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say
Wouldn't you know/We been hurt, been down before/Nigga, when our pride was low/Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"/Nigga, and we hate po-po/Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'/Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door/My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow/But we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/We gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright/Huh? We gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
What you want you, a house? You, a car?/40 acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?/Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog/Motherfucker, you can live at the mall/I can see the evil, I can tell it, I know it's illegal/I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero/Thinking of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal/Digging in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Every day my logic get another dollar just to keep you/In the presence of your chico... Ah!/I don't talk about it, be about it, every day I sequel/If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you/Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all/Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all/I rap, I black on track so rest assured/My rights, my wrongs; I write 'til I'm right with God
Wouldn't you know/We been hurt, been down before/Nigga, when our pride was low/Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
Nigga, and we hate po-po/Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'/Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door/My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow/But we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/We gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/Huh? We gon' be alright/Nigga, we gon' be alright/Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
I keep my head up high/I cross my heart and hope to die/Lovin' me is complicated/Too afraid of a lot of changes/I'm alright, and you're a favorite/Dark nights in my prayers
I remembered you was conflicted
Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same/Abusing my power, full of resentment/Resentment that turned into a deep depression/Found myself screamin' in the hotel room/I didn't wanna self-destruct/The evils of Lucy was all around me/So I went runnin' for answers
