solstar Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Day 22 Probably one of the very few English speaking bands that cared and wrote a song about a very sensitive Latin American issue. And Bruce singing a traditional Argentine protest song Edited May 7, 2017 by solstar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me tear up even though she passed away 20 years ago. Much, much too young...so very tragic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 22: A song that reminds you of an important political or social event during your life time Sadly, I remember this song everytime there's an election in my country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricA Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 22: The song is about the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl/Ukraine 1986 ! I remember that half of the people in Central Europe did not care much about it, since it happened in the "far distant" UDSSR, the other half has stopped eating fruit and vegetables, and did not let their children play outdoors anymore, the politicians were also not helpful, since their statements about the extent of the disaster were very different, so no one knew at the time what really happened exactly and how to handle it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 22 9/11 inspired tons of songs. For the Boss, it inspired a whole album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 5: A song that you hate to admit you like/a guilty pleasure song Don't know how a song could possibly be any cheesier than this? And instrumentally it's just as bad. A cheesy basic pop song. But at the same time there's something so cute and naive about it. In a world that's so cold and cynical, I can't help enjoying this silly little tune. It's a prime example of a guilty pleasure song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 This song always reminds me of 9/11. It's not the topic of the song but the music I remember playing in the lobby of tower 1 after tower 2 fell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Day 22 Hurricane Katrina. I randomly caught some of this benefit show when it aired, I love CCR and I'm a Grohl fan, so this performance just always stuck with me. Solid effort from Dave and the boys.

Fitha_whiskey Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 22 About the LA riots that were sparked by the cops in the Rodney King beating getting acquitted. What a terrible time that was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 ^^^^ Oh that got me thinking and I gotta cheat. Cube got down right vicious here. Real personal. But it's a pissed off guy talking on behalf of a lot of pissed off people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Day 22 2015, the referendum about EU austerity measures. The song is older of course, but it was played a lot at the "NO" camp rallies Spoiler The local rapper Killah P, murdered in 2013 by a neo-nazi organization, which had also murdered immigrants and stabbed students and political activists... These nazi scums have also a legal political party with seats in Parliament. I'd never thought that I would live to see this, especially in this country...

Tori72 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 22 Talkin about a revolution - The monday demonstrations in East Germany und especially the Fall of the Berlin Wall, 9th November 1989. Everyone who was interested politically, including me, held their breath when the Monday demonstrations in Leipzig and other cities of East Germany became bigger and bigger during the weeks before. Something was going on, people were so so brave and they were marching peacefully. It was wonderful but also always on the edge of being very dangerous. That it would lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall is something no one, literally nobody would have thought possible. At all. I lived in West Germany and in my family we have had great connections to some people behind the iron curtain and we knew what life was like in East Germany and elsewhere. The night of november 9th and the day 10th were of the most touching emotional days in my life. The Wall is down, people are passing freely, no dead, no injured. It was overly fantastic. We were very grateful and very touched. I feel like this about this peaceful and lucky revolution until this day. Tracy Chapman got played on the radio a lot at the time. This is a live concert from before that time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen many documentaries about that horrific day and there's one by 2 french brothers who were there to film the fire crew and were caught up in the whole thing. It's such a moving piece of film and that tune is still playing through the lobby in tower 1 and outside tower2 had fallen, they didn't even know it had fallen. To this day it still makes me cry when i watch that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG wow. i didn't cry, it seemed too, idk, BIG to cry about at the time it was happening. i was scared, that was the one thing...they kept saying that they were gonna hit the Golden Gate Bridge next, or this meant we were at war as of that moment. so many things my brain could not even wrap around. this was also when my dad was in the last stages of cancer and i knew he was near death cos he didn't seem to care much. too heavily medicated cos my dad was THE most patriotic man i have ever known. he died less than a month after 9/11...
