ARMAND
Wie nog altijd worstelt met het onderscheid tussen links en hippie (een rooie rakker versus langharig werkschuw tuig), moet gewoon even naar Armand luisteren. Armand is een hippie, d.w.z. dat hij in de eerste plaats een grondige afkeer heeft van de reguliere samenleving, die als kleinburgerlijk, repressief, discriminerend, hypocriet en indoctrinerend wordt ervaren. De hippie is wars van de regeltjes en creëert een alternatieve wereld, te beginnen met hemzelf. De hippie is antimaterialistisch en hecht meer belang aan voeding, kledij, filosofie en de omgang met mensen. Die alternatieve wereld creëert hij ook in zijn hoofd, dankzij zg. “geestesverruimende middelen” – let op de term “geestesverruimend”.
Armand is altijd een hippie gebleven en het leuke is dat hij naar zichzelf durfde kijken in de spiegel, getuige daarvan “Armand dicctator” op zijn laatste album. (EB)
LUIS REGO (Les Problèmes: Ballade à Luis rego, prisonnier politique)
Luis Rego naît le 30 mai 1943 à Lisbonne, au Portugal. À 17 ans, il fuit son pays afin d’échapper au servce militaire en Angola, qui était encore une colonie portugaise et pour fuir la dictature qui régnait alors dans son pays. Il commence sa carrière comme musicien dans Les Problèmes où il tient la guitare rythmique, roupe qui accompagne le chanteur Antoine. Il est arrêté pour désertion et emprisonné durant quelques mois au Portugal sous le régime dictatorial de Salazar. Son nom apparaît dans une chanson écrite pour le soutenir, “Ballade à Luis Rego, prisonnier politique,”
THE SUBTERRANEANS: Down To Earth
The Subterraneans (NL) were a blues / folk duo consisting of former Kick members John Bakker (Sleepy John Baker) and Henk Jantse (Downy Boy Jason). On this LP, their only release, they are helped by former Kick drummer Beer Klaasse, Brian Ura, Fred Haayen and former Group 1850 member Robby De Rijke. The songs on this album: some are own compositions and some covers of songs by the likes of Bob Dylan and Sonny Terry. Source: collectorsfrenzy.com.
50 JAAR MUZE
Bij het boek ” “Luchtschippers, wereldsterren en weekendhippies. Een halve eeuw café De Muze in woord en beeld”, van Felix Huybrechts en Tom DeSmet, hoort ook een cd. En wat voor een cd! De heruitgave van de langspeelplaat die in 1967 door De Muze werd uitgebracht met zeven artiesten die niet van De Muze los te koppelen zijn en er debuteerden. Krijgen heel netjes elk 2 nummers toebedeeld: Ferre Grignard, Jan De Wilde, Wannes Van de Velde, Lode De Ceuster (de zingende dokwerker), Christiane Van De Wyngaert (nu een toprechter) en The Balladeers (uit ons vizier verdwenen) en de jugband Endatteme. (uitg. Vrijdag, 2015, inclusief cd-heruitgave van de Muze-lp, €29,95. www.uitgeverijvrijdag.be).
RADIO 68 draait de volledige cd, PLUS werk van Fabien Collin. Fabien Collin, die debuteerde in De Muze, leek heel even de man die de Vlaamse protestzanger zou worden en dan van het toneel verdween. PLUS Armand, die op 19 november op 69-jarige overleed en Collins voorbeeld was.

GRACE PETRIE, DAN KENNEDY, ERRI DE LUCA
Grace Petrie is a songwriter, activist and performer from Leicester, UK. She first exploded on to the national protest scene in 2010 with the emotive anthem Farewell to Welfare, which captured perfectly the spirit of the new wave of dissent in austerity Britain. Since then she has quietly become one of the most prolific and respected songwriters working in the UK today.

Dan Kennedy: “Poet, Singer and songwriter. I’m Irish living in London. I started singing as a child, in school/church choir. I’ve sang in Folk, Blues and Reggae bands. Now I prefer to sing solo and add my voice to the growing movement for peaceful change in our world”.

Erri De Luca
“In January, the Italian writer Erri De Luca was charged with incitement for an interview he gave in 2013 to Huffington Post Italy. De Luca stated his support for the “NoTav” movement, which for 20 years has been protesting the construction of a high-speed railway line — the TAV — between Turin, Italy, and Lyon, France. In the interview, De Luca said the TAV “should be sabotaged. Shears are useful. They are needed to cut the fences” around the building site. For his words, an Italian prosecutor sought an eight-month jail term for incitement, a criminal offense seldom used in Italy. It was written into the Criminal Law under Benito Mussolini in the 1930s and remains on the books.
Here is De Luca’s last speech in the courtroom on Oct. 19, 2015just before his sentence: http://ilmanifesto.info/the-contrary-words-of-the-writer-erri-de-luca/
A couple of hours later, the Turin judge cleared the writer of the charge.” (Source: IL MANIFESTO 10 October 2015)
