I can't believe that no-one put this up for  #alternateFridayMusic so I'm dipping in again, because it's just sitting there. You pour heart out writing a plaintive rock / love song in the 70's, even going so far as to name it Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again replete with Renoir references. The song's a hit, the band's a success and you take it on the road... ...and you're met with #vitriol by your fans. every time you play the song. Even in the year you died, the band replaced you with some other bloke and while sounding worse than a cover band of themselves, the audience is still at it: The Angels - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again - The Gov - Adelaide, 2014 I mean, FFS, the uploader named it after the audience chant - not the song title 🤣 50 years after the song was released, 12 years after you died, it's the still the audience chant that's being remembered. Sorry Doc 🤷🤣 @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 6/4

This week's #alternateFridayMusic theme is #vitriol. Rosco Gordon had the only #1 r&b hit of his career with this song: "I'm gonna load my pistol Gonna sharpen my knife I'm gonna get that man that's got my wife" Roscoe Gordon: Booted (1951) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hjJS5cEPHg Gordon recorded two versions of the song that came out simultaneously on two different labels (Chess & RPM). This is the Chess version. #RoscoGordon #rhythmandblues

(1951) Chess 1487-A ''Booted'' Rosco Gordon

#AlternateFridayMusic#Vitriol Stevie Wonder - You Haven't Done Nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji2ma2mfyhU The Jackson 5 are singing backup "You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” the first single from his 1974 album, “Fullfillingness’s First Finale,” which would eventually become the second of his three ‘70s albums to win the Grammy for album of the year. It wasn’t just a blistering indictment of the then-current state of affairs, as his 1973 hit “Higher Ground” had been; “You Haven’t Done Nothin,’” in all its double-negative glory, was scathing political recrimination aimed directly at the White man in charge. “Richard Nixon,” it seemed to be saying, “this one’s for you.” Incidentally, the 37th US President resigned on August 8, 1974, the day after “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” was released as a single." https://variety.com/2021/music/opinion/stevie-wonder-you-havent-done-nothin-politics-hip-hop-1234910845/

#AlternateFridayMusic The cue is #Vitriol I hate racist blokes, telling tasteless jokes And explaining where people belong I hate ignorant folks, who pay money to see gigs And talk through every fucking song I hate people in night clubs, snorting coke And explaining where your going wrong Well if you agree, then come hating with me And feel free to sing along And I hate pointless status updates on Facebook FYI we were never "m8"s We pretend to be friends on the internet When in real life, we have nothing to say To each other, oh brother I have love for my mother For good times, for music and my mates Yeah I laugh, and live and I have love to give But sometimes all you can do is hate Well I hate them fussy eaters, you cook them fajitas They only eat pizza and chips I hate stepping outside, for a smoke and some guy Coughs, like your lungs are his And I hate queuing up, for festival toilets Especially when you need to shit And I hate the X-Factor, for murdering music You bunch of money grubbing pricks And I hate them magazines, aimed at insecure teens That make ten year old′s race to grow up Hey kids, let's all be anorexic or better Eat chocolate until you throw up Keep your Hollywood stars, and their stupid cars And the Bo-tox, that makes them look fucked Just grow old with grace, have you seen Cher′s face It looks like it's been hit by a truck Passenger - I Hate (Live from the borderline London)

Yet more #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 and the cue this week is: #vitriol I'm doubling down on a bonus Oils track because the more I researched this cue, the more the vitriol built up: Midnight Oil - Blossom and Blood I'll let these lyrics from 1985 do the talking: 🎶 You the mothers who sent your sons Wipe away your tears For those who fought and those who fell Become our sons as well You the warriors with your words Throw away your spears You talk of times of peace for all And then prepare for war All the people with dreams, all the mothers with sons All the people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns Like a child that's born on a moonless night Like a child that's born, we parachute down to an unknown fight This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away ... Whatever you've done, whatever you think you've done, whatever you've done There's a hope in the heart says never again Never again, whatever you say, whatever you say It's the price of peace to remember that day 🎶 @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 3.5/4
