La maggioranza dei nani ha scelto di non pubblicare questa recensione che arrivava da un anonimo (senza email) che si firmava ridenattiride.
Il testo della recensione era: "figata".
Ne più ne meno, senza manco un punto esclamativo.
A me pareva di cogliere in quel "figata" un'espressione efficace dell'impossibiltà di tradurre in parole certe emozioni che la musica suscita. Mi pareva una sintesi -non molto elegante- ma funzionale.
Personalmente non credo che una recensione debba avere un minimo di parole o frasi. Non credo che in un mezzo come DE-B sia necessario formalizzare più di tanto. Credo che "se opportuno" i commenti possano integrare. Non lo so, mi sembra che se una persona vuole dare il la a una discussione, dovrebbe poterlo fare anche semplicemente con una parola.
Non mi dilungo tanto (ha senso no!?).
Mi prendo la paternità di questa recensione. Parla di un disco che conosco così bene che non avrei letto mai nessuna recensione. Ok quello delle canne, poi rasta, poi lo ska, poi la giamaica, poi l'eroina, poi la morte il mito... le pippe! Wake Up And Live !!!
FIGATA (!*) RASTAFARI!!!
*il punto esclamativo è mio (n.d.t.)

01 So Much Trouble in the World (04:02)
So much trouble in the world now
So much trouble in the world now
Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way Earthly things are going
Anything can happen
You see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their space ship
Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for me
So much trouble in the world now
So much trouble in the world now
All you got to do is give a little
Give a little, give a little
One more time YE-A-H! YE-AH!
So you think you have found the solution
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out your tide
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind
We've got to face the day
Ooh-we come what may
We the street people talking
We the people struggling
Now they are sitting on a time bomb
Now I know the time has come
What goes on up is coming on down
Goes around and comes around
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble in the world

05 Survival (03:55)
How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care
That you care
When everytime I look around
The people suffer in suffering
In everyway. In everywhere
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
I tell you what
Some people got everything
Some poeple got nothing
Some people got hopes and dreams
Some people got ways and means
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
Yes we're the survivors like
Daniel out of the lions' den, survivors, survivors
So my brethren, my sisthren
Which way will we choose
We better hurry, oh hurry woe now
'Cause we got no time to lose
Some people got facts and claims
Some peole got pride and shame
Some people got the plots and schemes
Some people got no aim it seems
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
We're the survivors; yes, the black survival
We're the survivors like shadrach, meshach and abednego
Thrown in the fire but never get burn
So my brethren, my sisthren
The preaching and talking is done
We gotta live up woe now, woe now
'Cause the father's time has come
Some people put the best outside
Some people keep the best inside
Some people can't stand up strong
Some people won't wait for long
Na-na-na-na-na
We're the survivors; a black survival
In this age of technological inhumanity
We're the survivors black survival
Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors
Atomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivors
Nuclear mis-energy
It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity
All together now we're the survivors
Yes, the black survival
A good man is never honoured in his own country, black survival
Nothing change, nothing strange
Nothing change, nothing strange
We got to survive, we've got to survive
But to live as one equal in the eyes of the almighty

Bob Marley è l'esempio di come la musica possa farsi strada nell'universo politico e sociale, essere il mezzo più adatto a perorare una causa.
