World BEYOND War is e mālama ana i kahi webinar i kēia pule aʻe me ka mea haku mele nui a me ka mea hana antiwar Roger Waters. I hoʻokahi pule ma hope mai, e hele mai ana ka huakaʻi ʻaha mele a Roger "ʻAʻole kēia Drill" i New York City - Ua haʻi mai ʻo Brian Garvey iā mākou e pili ana. ka hoikeike Bosetona - a ma laila wau e hui pū ai me kā mākou hui hoa Veterans for Peace. Inā hele mai ʻoe i ka ʻahamele, e ʻoluʻolu e ʻimi mai iaʻu ma ka papa ʻaina Veterans for Peace a aloha.
ʻO ke alakaʻi ʻenehana no World BEYOND War ua hāʻawi mai iaʻu i kahi manawa e hālāwai ai me kekahi o nā poʻe kūikawā i kōkua iaʻu i nā makahiki ma mua e ʻimi i koʻu ala ponoʻī i ka hoʻoikaika maluhia. I loko o koʻu ola ʻaʻole au i komo i kekahi neʻe, ua heluhelu au i nā puke a Nicholson Baker lāua ʻo Medea Benjamin i hoʻāla i nā manaʻo i loko o koʻu poʻo i alakaʻi iaʻu e ʻimi i nā ala e komo pilikino ai i ka hana pacifist. He mea hauʻoli iaʻu i ka ninaninau ʻana iā lāua ʻelua ma ka World BEYOND War podcast a haʻi iā lākou i ka nui o kā lākou hana i hoʻoikaika ai iaʻu.
ʻO ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻokipa ʻana i kahi webinar me Roger Waters e lawe i kēia i kahi pae hou noʻu. ʻAʻole ia he mau makahiki i hala aku nei akā he mau makahiki i hala aku nei i huki mua ai au i kahi disiki vinyl ʻeleʻele mai kahi uhi album ʻeleʻele e hōʻike ana i ke kukui, kahi prisma a me ke ānuenue, a lohe au i kahi leo palupalu a kaumaha e hīmeni ana i kēia mau huaʻōlelo:
I mua, uē ʻo ia ma hope, a make nā papa mua
Noho nā pūkaua, a me nā laina ma ka palapala honua
Ua neʻe ʻia mai kēlā ʻaoʻao a i kēia ʻaoʻao
ʻO ka album 1973 a Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" he huakaʻi mele i loko o kahi noʻonoʻo pilikino pilikia, kahi huakaʻi e pili ana i ka noho ʻana a me ka pupule. Wehe ʻia ka album me ke kono ʻana e hanu, ʻoiai ʻo nā leo wili e hōʻike ana i ka pupule o kahi honua paʻa a mālama ʻole. ʻO nā leo a me nā puʻuwai a me nā kapuaʻi wāwae e mae i loko a i waho - nā mokulele, nā uaki - akā naʻe ka huki hohonu o ka mele i ka mea hoʻolohe ma mua o ka walaʻau a me ka haunaele, a hoʻopau ka hapa mua o ka moʻolelo me kahi hoʻomaha o nā leo ʻānela ʻē aʻe e uwē ana i loko. harmonic empathy ma ke ala i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Great Gig in the Sky".
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka album, hoʻi mākou i nā pilikia ʻino o ka honua huhū. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā ʻāpana kālā o "Money" i loko o ke mele antiwar "Us and Them" kahi e noho ai nā generals a neʻe i nā laina ma ka palapala ʻāina mai kēlā ʻaoʻao a i kēia ʻaoʻao. Nui ka manaʻo o ke koʻikoʻi i hiki ʻole ke iho i loko o ka pupule - akā naʻe i ka wā e haki ai ʻo "Brain Damage" i ke mele hope loa "Eclipse" hoʻomaka mākou e ʻike ʻaʻole pupule ka leo e hīmeni ana iā mākou. Ua pupule ke ao nei, a ke kono nei keia mau mele ia kakou e imi i ko kakou noonoo ma ka hele ana iloko, ma ka hilinai ana i ko kakou manao a me ka malama ole i ka palapu o ka lehulehu, ma ka ae ana i ko kakou noho kaawale ana mai kahi ahahui aku i ike ole i ka hoopakele ana. a me ka hilinaʻi i ka nani o ka noʻonoʻo a me ke mele a me ka noho mehameha a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ʻo Roger Waters ka haku mele piha loa ma ke ʻano he haku mele a mea hoʻokani pila, ʻo ka album kupaianaha "The Dark Side of the Moon" e pili ana i ka pupule akā i ka nānā pono ʻana e pili ana i ka pupule o ka honua o waho, a me nā pūpū paʻakikī o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana. a me ka ʻeha e pono ai i kekahi o mākou e hoʻopuni iā lākou iho i mea e pale ʻole ai i ka manaʻo e hoʻokō. ʻAʻole ia he pōʻino ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana o ka album iā Henry David Thoreau, he leo hoʻokahi e kūʻē i ka conformity mai kahi manawa ʻē aʻe a me kahi ʻāina ʻē aʻe: "ʻO ke kau ʻana me ka desperation mālie ʻo ke ala Pelekane".
He mea koʻikoʻi kēia album iaʻu i koʻu wā kamaliʻi e ʻimi ana i nā mele, a ke ʻimi nei au i ka manaʻo hou i loko. Ua maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō ka mele "ʻO mākou a me lākou" akā ʻo ka album holoʻokoʻa e hōʻike ana i ka hui nui ʻana me ka hui kuʻuna maʻamau e koi ai i kēlā me kēia mea e puka mai ana i ka politika e koho i kahi kahua e kū ai, e hoʻoikaika kūʻē i ka ʻO nā puʻe pau ʻole o ke kaumaha kaumaha, e hoʻokō piha i nā kumu i ʻae ʻole iā mākou e koho i ka hapalua. ʻAʻole wau i lilo i mea hoʻoikaika politika i koʻu lilo ʻana i mea aloha Pink Floyd i koʻu wā ʻōpio. Akā, ʻike wau i kēia lā i ka nui o nā mele a Roger Waters i kōkua iaʻu e hana i koʻu ala mālie ma o kahi hoʻololi pilikino ʻano ʻē a hoʻokaʻawale - ʻaʻole wale nā mele kālai'āina e like me "Us and Them" i kōkua iaʻu e ʻike i kēia ala.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ke aʻa o lalo o ka hui mua o Roger Waters ma mua o ka poʻe i ʻike. E lilo ana ʻo Pink Floyd i mea kaulana loa ma nā makahiki 1970 a me 1980, akā naʻe ua hoʻomaka ka hui e pāʻani i nā gigs ma ʻEnelani i ka makahiki 1965 a he ʻano manaʻo i nā lā mua o ka makahiki 1960 e koli ana iā Lākana, kahi i makemake nui ʻia e ka poʻe akamai i hoʻolohe iā Beat poetry. a kau ʻia a puni ka hale kūʻai puke kaulana ʻo Indica, kahi e hui ai ʻo John Lennon lāua ʻo Yoko Ono. ʻO kēia ka moʻomeheu 1960s Pink Floyd i puka mai.
E like me kekahi o nā pūʻulu prog/hoʻokolohua mua loa o ka wā rock maʻamau, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Pink Floyd i ka hiʻohiʻona ma Lākana i nā makahiki hoihoi like i ka hana ʻana o ka Grateful Dead i kahi hiʻohiʻona me Ken Kesey ma Kapalakiko, a me ka Velvet. Ua pahū nā manaʻo o lalo ma New York City me Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable. ʻAʻohe o kēia mau pūʻali koa i kūkala politika, akā ʻaʻole pono, no ka mea, ua paʻa loa nā kaiāulu a lākou i hoʻolako ai i nā mele i loko o ke kaua a me nā neʻe holomua o ia manawa. ʻO ka poʻe ʻōpio a puni ʻEnelani i ka makahiki 1960 e hana ikaika ana a hoʻōho nui no ka hoʻokuʻu kaua nuklea a me ka anti-colonialism, a ke aʻo nei kā lākou poʻe ʻōpio like ʻole ma USA mai kahi neʻe kūʻē kūʻē no nā pono kīwila i alakaʻi ʻia e Martin Luther King a i kēia manawa. hale, me ke alakaʻi koʻikoʻi a Martin Luther King, he neʻe kaulana hou e kūʻē i ke kaua moe kolohe ma Vietnam. I loko o nā lā poʻokela o nā makahiki 1960, ua kanu mua ʻia ka nui o nā ʻanoʻano kūʻē koʻikoʻi e ola nei i kēia lā.
E like me ka Grateful Dead a me ka Velvet Underground, ua hoʻopuka ʻo Pink Floyd i ka mana o London i kahi ʻano kumuhana i hoʻokumu nui ʻia i loko o ka subconscious moeʻuhane, haku mele i nā mele e manaʻo ʻia he wahi noʻonoʻo ma waena o ka wakefulness a me ka hiamoe. Ua lawe ʻo Roger Waters i ke alakaʻi o ka hui ma hope o ko Syd Barrett nalo i loko o ka pupule maoli, a ʻo "Dark Side of the Moon" i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Waters a me kāna mau hoa mele ʻo David Gilmour, Richard Wright a me Nick Mason i ka lanakila nui o ka honua, ʻoiai kēlā me kēia lālā o ka hui. me he mea lā ʻaʻole makemake nui i ka moʻomeheu kaulana a kaulana. Ua hoʻololi ʻo Waters i kāna hui no ka wā punk-rock i ka makahiki 1977 me ka "Animals" a ʻo Orwellian, a ukali ʻia e "The Wall", kahi mele mele mele psychological nona ka lanakila nui a me ka kaulana e like me ka "Dark Side of the Moon".
Ua hōʻike paha kekahi mea kākau mele mele i kona ʻuhane ponoʻī e like me kā Roger Waters i hana ai ma "The Wall"? E pili ana ia i kahi hōkū pōhaku morose i lilo i mea waiwai, ʻaihue a hoʻohana ʻia i ka lāʻau lapaʻau, e puka mai ana ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi fascist maoli, e hoʻomāʻewaʻewa ana i kāna poʻe pā mai ke kahua ʻaha mele me ka hōʻino ʻana i ka lāhui a me ke kāne. ʻO kēia ke kiʻi hoʻohenehene a Roger Waters, no ka mea, (e like me kāna wehewehe ʻana i nā mea nīnauele liʻiliʻi āna e kamaʻilio ai) ua hele mai ʻo ia e hoʻowahāwahā i kona ʻano hōkū pōhaku a me ka mana i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia. ʻO ka mea ʻino loa, ʻo ke kaulana āna i hoʻāʻo ai e pale aku, ua hoʻokaʻawale loa iā ia mai ka poʻe i hele mai i kāna ʻahamele a hauʻoli i kāna mau hana. ʻAʻole hiki iā Pink Floyd ke lōʻihi aku me kēia pae o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana iā ia iho, a ʻo ka album nui hope loa o ka hui i ka makahiki 1983, he hana hoʻokahi ʻo Roger Waters, "The Final Cut". He ʻōlelo kūʻē kēia album mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana a hiki i ka pau ʻana, e ʻuā kūʻē ana i ke kaua pōkole naʻaupō a lokoino o Great Britain i ka makahiki 1982 e kūʻē iā Argentina ma luna o nā Malvinas, e kāhea ʻino ana iā Margaret Thatcher lāua ʻo Menachem Begin a me Leonid Brezhnev a me Ronald Reagan ma ka inoa.
Ua hoʻomaka mālie ʻo Waters e wehewehe i kāna mau hana āpau, me kāna mau mele mele a me ka opera e pili ana i ka French Revolution āna i haku ai ma 2005, "Ça Ira". I ka pūnāwai o 2021 ua hele au i kahi hui liʻiliʻi ma ke kaona o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo New York City no ka loio wiwo ʻole. ʻO Steven Donziger, ka mea i hoʻopaʻi pono ʻole ʻia no ka hōʻike ʻana i nā hewa kaiapuni o Chevron ma ʻEkuador. ʻAʻole nui ka lehulehu ma kēia hui, akā hauʻoli wau i ka ʻike ʻana iā Roger Waters e kū pū ana me kāna hoaaloha a me kāna hoa pili a lawe pōkole i ka mic e haʻi i kekahi mau huaʻōlelo e pili ana i ka hihia Donziger, a me Susan Sarandon a me Marianne Williamson. .
Ua hoʻopaʻahao ʻia ʻo Steven Donziger he 993 mau lā no kona ʻaʻa ʻana i ka ʻōlelo kūʻokoʻa i ka hoʻohewa ʻana i kahi hui ikaika e like me Chevron. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu inā ua hoʻopaʻahao ʻia ʻo Roger Waters no kāna hana ʻana, akā ua hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻo ia i mua o ka lehulehu. Ke haʻi aku nei au i kona inoa i kekahi o kaʻu mau hoaaloha, ʻo ia hoʻi nā hoaaloha ʻike mele i hoʻomaopopo i ke kiʻekiʻe o kona akamai, lohe au i nā hoʻopiʻi hoʻohenehene e like me "Roger Waters he anti-semitic" - he canard piha i hana ʻia e hōʻino iā ia e nā ʻano ikaika like. nā pūʻali i huki i nā kaula no Chevron e hoʻokomo iā Steven Donziger i loko o ka hale paʻahao. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻo Roger Waters he anti-semitic, ʻoiai ua ikaika ʻo ia e ʻōlelo leo nui no ka poʻe Palestine e ʻeha nei ma lalo o ka apartheid ʻIseraʻela - e like me kā mākou āpau inā makemake mākou e alo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, no ka mea, he hana ʻino kēia apartheid e pono e hoʻopau. .
ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu i ka mea a Roger Waters e kamaʻilio ai ma kā mākou webinar ma ʻAukake 8, ʻoiai ua ʻike pinepine au iā ia ma ka ʻaha mele a loaʻa iaʻu kahi manaʻo maikaʻi loa i ke ʻano o ka ʻaha mele kickass āna e kau ai ma ʻAukake 13 ma New York. Kulanakauhale. ʻO ke kauwela o 2022 he manawa wela a paʻakikī ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā mākou aupuni ma mua o ka wā ma mua, ʻoiai mākou e paheʻe a paheʻe i nā kaua proxy i hoʻoikaika ʻia e nā waiwai ʻoihana a me ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka wahie fossil. ʻO ka poʻe makaʻu a me ke kaumaha o kēia aupuni hakihaki e hoʻoikaika iā lākou iho me nā mea kaua, e hoʻohūhū ana i nā ʻano o nā pūʻulu paramilitary, ʻoiai kā mākou mau mākaʻi e hoʻololi iā lākou iho i mau pūʻali koa e ʻimi ana i nā mea kaua i ko lākou poʻe ponoʻī, ʻoiai ua hoʻomaka kā mākou ʻAha Kiekie i ʻaihue i kahi weliweli hou: ka hewa o ka hāpai ʻana a me ka koho mālama ola kino. ʻO ka helu o ka make ma Ukraine ma luna o 100 mau kānaka i ka lā, i kaʻu kākau ʻana i kēia, a ʻo nā mea hāʻawi like a me nā mea waiwai i koi i kēlā kaua proxy weliweli e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻomaka i kahi pōʻino kanaka hou ma Taiwan i mea e loaʻa ai ka waiwai waiwai ma luna o Kina. . Ke noho mau nei nā pūkaua, e hoʻoneʻe ana i nā laina ma ka palapala ʻāina mai kēlā ʻaoʻao a i kēia ʻaoʻao.
