That's Mean

What you liked (a short resume)

A song about the discrepancy between the idealization of a distorted individualism, constantly conveyed by contemporary mass media, and the actual standardization, or globalization, of human behaviours and actions that can be found today in Western or Westernized societies…

In loving memory of Massimo De Gasperi (1967-1999), a great musician and friend. There's currently no trace of his work on the internet, unfortunately, but he'd published an album with a German label a few months before passing away, if I remember correctly. It sounded way ahead of his time, and it still does today. I own a copy of it, but I'm not entitled to share it. I hope someone will do, someday.
He once called me while he was working on his album. One of his numbers' title was "Dead Hendrix", and he asked me if I could supply him with any recorded announcement of Jimi's death. He was planning to extrapolate a few words from it and use the samples on his track. Sadly I couldn't satisfy his request. I used to own dozens of Hendrix LPs and tapes, always loved and played his music, but I'd never been a collector. At the time, things like that couldn't be found on the internet.
A shot of heroin laced with strychnine killed him at 32.
In November 2019, a common friend asked me to join Massimo's 20th death anniversary party: "Come over and play", he said... I had to laugh, because he hadn't considered the fact that I was nearly 1000 miles away from home, and couldn't really afford to travel exclusively to join that party. So I recorded this tune, "That's Mean", very quickly, and about a week later I sent him the file. I easily found that Hendrix death announcement on YouTube, sampled a couple of sentences and used them in this song. He was so happy with it, included it in the music set for the night and told me that Massimo was very likely smiling from heaven while listening to it. I really hope this tune will make you all smile too.

Lyrics based on this poem from my chapbook These Tales Are True

PUSH FOR CHANGE (The Mere Request for Change)
here is the excerpt used in the song:
_________________________________________________________
its that time again to push
for change
push coming to shove
as the moon cycle comes into full swing

scarlet smell of oldness
and the mere request for change 
becomes a full blown criticism

and i feel ugly 
and my house 
is a mess
and people are calling me 
and wanting an explanation 
and the missing women
are still missing
(and the missing women are dead*)

....

the one love in the past 
and in the present

the dentist
the optometrist 
the oral surgeon 
the audiologist
the hair straightener 
the shoes
the bag
the activity and inactivity 
the passion and drama

the singing 
the singing

the push to change 
the push for more

it’s not enough
the fight is never over 
the flourishing
is always happening

even when the winter comes 
and the withering begins 
my body chases my soul 
from sleep to awakedness

it's that time again
to Push For Change

*this poem was written during my involvement with a project related to missing & murdered women in British Columbia, Canada.

The great Mahan²https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan  initiated this track/collab by challenging me to chop up a  Bee Gees acapella beyond recognition. The wolves are coming back is the result. There are no other sources than the voices used and no animals were harmed ;)
Then he used it to build the awesome track: https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/how-deep-space-is-your-love

An artist must be open to the muse. The greater the artist, the more he is open to “cosmic currents.” He has to behave as he does. If he has “the courage to be an artist,” he is committed to behave as the mood possesses him. . . .

The price an artist pays for doing what he wants is that he has to do it.

Pair with Patti Smith’s account of Burroughs’s advice to the young and his cameo in the love letters of Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky.
