Κάτι σοβαρό…?

Θέλουμε και κάτι σοβαρό στο blog του «Παρα-ΜΜΕ»…? Ήταν μονάχα για χαβαλέ και μας έλειψε η σοβαρότητα…? Εγώ αυτή την έλλειψη δεν τη βλέπω. Μια χαρά σοβαρό είναι το blog, τουλάχιστον τις εποχές που κάποιοι γράφουν, και όχι τους μήνες που δεν το ακούμπαγε κανείς σαν τη χολέρα… Και λίγος χαβαλές δε βλάπτει που και που. Το άσχημο είναι να λείπει η σοβαρότητα όταν ΔΕΝ κάνουμε χαβαλέ. Αλλά ακόμα και αυτές οι στιγμές δίνουν μια άλλη άποψη στο «χώρο».

Αλλά μια και θέλουμε κάτι σοβαρό, γιατί να μην είναι και κάτι που έχει σχέση με αυτό που σπουδάζουμε. Όσοι, λοιπόν, δεν το ‘χουν υπ’όψη τους, ρίξτε μια ματιά στο τι τραγουδούσε ο Gil Scott Heron to 1975:

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised — Gil Scott Heron (1975)

You will not be able to stay home brother
you will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
you will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip
skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
the revolution will not be brought to you by Χerox
in 4 parts without commercial interruption
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner because The revolution will not be televised brother
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the
dead run
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen
ambulance
NBC will not be able to predict the winner at 8:32
or the count from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkins strolling through Watts in a red, black and
green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
for just the proper occasion
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damn relevant and
women will not care if Dick finally got down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised
there will be no highlights on the eleven o’clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck or The
Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message
about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a germ in your
bedroom, the tiger in your tank, or the giant in you
toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause
bad breath

The revolution WILL put you in the driver’s
seat
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised
will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run brothers
The revolution will be live–
