Jefferson Airplane genre: Rock
release date 1967-01-01 publisher: RCA
"杰斐逊飞机"乐队是由男歌手马特·巴林(Marty Balin)于1965年建立起来的摇滚乐队,共6人。起先他们在俱乐部演奏一些民谣摇滚和披头士的歌曲,后来与RCA唱片公司签约,发行专辑《杰斐逊飞机起飞》(Jefferson Airplane Takes Off ,1966)但销路不佳。 不久,他们采用了迷幻摇滚风格,与吸毒文化相联系,而且由于吸收了一位女歌手格瑞斯·斯利克(Grace Slick,1939年出生),情况才发生了变化。1967年,他们的第二张专辑《超现实主义枕头》(Surrealistic Pillow)取得了巨大的成绩。Balin以他带有摇滚力量又不失和谐音律的情歌《Somebody To Love》(有人去爱)和《White Rabbit》(白兔)征服了数以万记的观众。而这两首经典作品作为单曲推出后,销量都突破了百万。 "杰斐逊飞机"被称为嬉皮士时代"旧金山声音"最主要的代表,成了美国最负盛名的摇滚团体之一。"杰斐逊飞机"随后发行的迷幻摇滚专辑,如《万物之冠》(Crown Of Creation,1968)、《志愿者》(Volunteers,1969)、《吠叫》(Bark,1971)等,也都很受欢迎。虽然其中没有一首单曲进入"最佳十首",但对旧金山很多乐队来说,这是很寻常的。他们不在乎排行榜,甚至有的还把"上榜"看作是一件不光彩的事情。 70年代初,"杰斐逊飞机"的人员又有变动,其骨乾除斯利克外,还有保罗·坎特纳(Paul Kantner )。他们改名为"杰斐逊(星际)飞船"(Jefferson Starship)。1975年巴林("杰斐逊飞机"的创立人,后离队)回到乐队。过了三年,巴林和斯利克都退出"杰斐逊飞船"(斯利克于1982年重新加入),乐队风格转向硬摇滚。最初的老队员中只剩下坎特纳一人。最后,连坎特纳也离开了,根据他的诉讼结果,乐队被要求去掉名称中的"杰斐逊",改名为" (星际)飞船"(Star Ship)。尽管如此,"飞船"于80年代后期仍不时地取得成功。 Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the LSD-influenced psychedelic rock movement. Successive incarnations of the band have performed under different names, reflecting changing times and performer lineups, known as Jefferson Starship, and later simply Starship before becoming Jefferson Starship The Next Generation in 1991. Jefferson Airplane was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. The term "Jefferson airplane" is also slang for a used paper match split open to hold a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the hands, an improvised roach clip.[citation needed] An urban legend claims this was the origin for the band's name, but according to band member Jorma Kaukonen, the name was invented by his friend Steve Talbot as a parody of blues names such as 'Blind Lemon' Jefferson

Move On Up
Douban
Aaron Cohen publishing house: University of Chicago Press 2019 - 9
Curtis Mayfield. The Chi-Lites. Chaka Khan. Chicago’s place in the history of soul music is rock solid. But for Chicagoans, soul music in its heyday from the 1960s to the 1980s was more than just a series of hits: it was a marker and a source of black empowerment. In Move On Up, Aaron Cohen tells the remarkable story of the explosion of soul music in Chicago. Together, soul music and black-owned businesses thrived. Record producers and song-writers broadcast optimism for black America’s future through their sophisticated, jazz-inspired productions for the Dells and many others. Curtis Mayfield boldly sang of uplift with unmistakable grooves like “We’re a Winner” and “I Plan to Stay a Believer.” Musicians like Phil Cohran and the Pharaohs used their music to voice Afrocentric philosophies that challenged racism and segregation, while Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Chaka Khan created music that inspired black consciousness. Soul music also accompanied the rise of African American advertisers and the campaign of Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington, in 1983. This empowerment was set in stark relief by the social unrest roiling in Chicago and across the nation: as Chicago’s homegrown record labels produced rising stars singing songs of progress and freedom, Chicago’s black middle class faced limited economic opportunities and deep-seated segregation, all against a backdrop of nationwide deindustrialization. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and a music critic’s passion for the unmistakable Chicago soul sound, Cohen shows us how soul music became the voice of inspiration and change for a city in turmoil.

Country Joe & the Fish genre: Rock
release date 1967-11-01 publisher: Vanguard Records
I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die is the second album by the influential San Francisco psychedelic rock group Country Joe and the Fish, released in 1967. The title track remains one of the most popular Vietnam protest songs from the 1960s and originally appeared in a 1965 7" EP titled Rag Baby: Songs of Opposition. On the album version however, "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" appears alongside "The Fish Cheer," which at concerts, became a Country Joe standard. At Woodstock, however, Joe had the crowd yell F-U-C-K instead of F-I-S-H. The title song faced a legal challenge from the estate of New Orleans jazz trombone pioneer Edward "Kid" Ory, whose daughter Babette claimed that McDonald appropriated the melody for his song from Ory's classic "Muskrat Ramble," as recorded by Louis Armstrong & his Hot Five in 1926. A 2005 judgment upheld McDonald's copyright on the song, claiming that Ory waited too long to make the claim.
The Secret World of American Communism
Douban
Harvey Klehr / John Earl Haynes … translator: Sergay, Timothy D. publishing house: Yale University Press 1996 - 9
For the first time, the hidden world of American communism can be examined with the help of documents from the recently opened archives of the former Soviet Union. Interweaving narrative and documents, the authors of this book present a convincing new picture of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), providing proof that it was involved in espionage and other subversive activities. At the same time, they disclose fascinating details about the workings of the party and about the ordinary Americans and CPUSA leaders who participated in its clandestine activities. "A formidable achievement in archival research. No one will be able to write about the cpusa in the future without reference to this volume."-Maurice Isserman, Nation "A memorable, powerful book...One of this year's most significant books about twentieth-century American political history."-David J. Garrow, New York Newsday "This book contains the first new revelation about American Communism in a generation. It is superbly edited and admirably presented. No one interested in the history of the American Communism can afford to miss it." -Theodore Draper Harvey Klehr, the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Politics at Emory University, is also the author of The Heyday of American Communism. John Earl Haynes is a specialist in twentieth-century American history at the Library of Congress. Fridrikh Igorevich Firsov is formerly of the Comintern Archive at the Russian Center for the Preservation and Study of Documents of Recent History.

人们只看到我的与众不同:一个十七岁前从未踏入教室的大山女孩,却戴上一顶学历的高帽,熠熠生辉。只有我知道自己的真面目:我来自一个极少有人能想象的家庭。我的童年由垃圾场的废铜烂铁铸成,那里没有读书声,只有起重机的轰鸣。不上学,不就医,是父亲要我们坚持的忠诚与真理。父亲不允许我们拥有自己的声音,我们的意志是他眼中的恶魔。哈佛大学,剑桥大学,哲学硕士,历史博士……我知道,像我这样从垃圾堆里爬出来的无知女孩,能取得如今的成就,应当感激涕零才对。但我丝毫提不起热情。我曾怯懦、崩溃、自我怀疑,内心里有什么东西腐烂了,恶臭熏天。直到我逃离大山,打开另一个世界。那是教育给我的新世界,那是我生命的无限可能。

《守护者》由瑞安·怀特 (《审判八号提案》、《披头士女助理》) 执导。这部精彩的 7 集纪录片讲述了巴尔的摩修女被害悬案和其中的恐怖秘密,以及她遇害后近 50 载仍挥之不去的痛楚。 记录片从修女凯茜·切斯尼克的失踪事件展开,她是巴尔的摩一位备受喜爱的修女,也是天主教会高中的教师,她于 1969 年 11 月 7 日失踪。大约两个月后,人们发现了她的尸体,时至今日,她的遇害仍是一桩悬案。 直到 90 年代,修女凯茜·切斯尼克曾经的一位学生 (一位匿名“无名氏”的女性) 说出了自己遭受高中牧师性虐待的可怕经历,这件案子才重新受到人们的关注。令人难以置信的是,该女子透露,在人们发现修女凯茜·切斯尼克的尸体之前,她曾被带到跟前接受警告“看看说别人坏话会有什么下场”。尽管有上述证据以及其他受害者和目击者的证词,但并没有人被追究责任,而且此事在巴尔的摩外鲜有报道。 通过走访数十人,包括修女凯茜的朋友、亲戚、记者、政府官员和决心找出真相巴尔的摩市民,怀特拼凑出事件的大体,不仅涉及受人喜爱的天主教会学校老师之死,还牵涉到神职人员性虐待、被压抑的回忆以及政府和宗教机构,他说:“说得好听点是 (政府和宗教机构) 过去 45 年存在失职,说得难听点就是他们隐瞒了事实真相。”
