Kveldens Madonna

“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.”

Madonna quote

Making a better revolution alone with my dick!

Hvilket samfunn ønsker vi oss?


I en politisk samtid hvor USAs president agerer verdenshersker, kampen om tilgang på store energikilder eskalerer, den danske Anders Fogh Rasmussen-regjeringen er tvunget til å danne flertall med Dansk Folkeparti på Færøerne eller hos Ny Alliance, Norge har 13 FrP-ordførere og Afghanistan rennes ned av forsvarspolitisk sprengkåte tullinger mens norsk tv-publikum flest stortrives med fredagsunderholdninga - inklusiv Idol, er det lett å hengi seg til blaserte utsagn som "alt var bedre før" eller "håper norsk økonomi reiser langt inn i det heiteste helvete en gang for alle".

Fortvil ikke: den befriende galskapen er rett rundt hjørnet! En av musikkens siste skanser finner du i det musikkpresse "all over" omtaler som balkanrock eller gypsy punk.

Sjekk ut Gogol Bordello. Vokalisten, den evigpulserend Eugene Hutz ( Євген Гудзь; Evgeny Aleksandrovitch Nikolaev,) sier alt du trenger å vite om livet i førstelinja på låta Ultimate
"There were never any good old days...it is today...it is tomorrow...it is a stupid thing we say cursing tomorrow with sorrow."

I et intervju forklarer Hutz hva han legger i begrepet gypsy punk:

" I think we felt that the Western Civilization and culture had kind of exhausted itself or maybe repeated itself too many times at this point, you know? Which is very kind of a cultural and economic problem, unfortunately because it's favoring white products and force-feeding it; it's isolated itself from any foreign influence.

For example in Europe, you'll find German songs on Italian radio or vise versa, and French songs on Czech radio, so all these things are just going on all the time, but things in foreign languages never become popular, or they don't get pushed in America or in England. I guess we thought there was something wrong with that situation and Gypsy music in particular being such a goldmine of authentic energy, you know I found that is probably one of the last forts of that kind of power. Power that wakes people up and shakes things up."
