Hołd dla Billa Withersa - For The Lovely Day!

Podczas aktualnie panującej pandemii koronawirusa ciężko odnaleźć się w izolacji od bliskich. W chwilach zwątpienia, poszukując dobrej energii, sięgam często do muzycznego dorobku lat 60-80. Soul miał wtedy swoją organiczność brzmienia i jednym jego największych wokalistów, który wpłynął na życie wielu z nas to Bill Withers. Każdy kojarzy "No Diggity" Dr Dre, ale ile osób wie, że to właśnie numer "Grandma's Hands" autorstwa Billa jest oryginalną kompozycją. Od znanych klasyków po disco groove oraz ballady, wśród zgranych utworów pojawiły się "Lovely Day", "Look To Each Other For Love", "Railroad Man", "Use Me", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Leon On Me" oraz wiele innych. Koniecznie przesłuchajcie live mixu i życzę wszystkim zdrowia!

Bill Withers na zawsze!

Sal: What'd I tell you about that noise?

Buggin' Out: What'd I tell you about them pictures?

Sal: What the fuck, are you deaf?

Buggin' Out: No! Are you? Fuck you! We want some black people on that motherfucking Wall of Fame now!

Mookie: We're trying to go fucking home! We've been here all fucking day, Buggin Out!

Sal: Turn that jungle music off! We ain't in Africa!

Buggin' Out: Why it got to be about jungle music? Why it got to be about Africa? It's about them fucking pictures!

Sal: It's about turning that shit off and getting the fuck out of my place!

Pino: Radio Raheem!

Radio Raheem: Fuck you!

Sal: And fuck you, too!

Punchy: Kick some ass, Sal! Get in there, Pino!

Radio Raheem: This is music. My music!

Sal: Fuck your music!

Radio Raheem: Well, turn it off, then.

Vito: Hey, man, get the fuck out of here! We're fucking closed!

Buggin' Out: Fuck you! We're closing you guinea bastards for good! For good, motherfucker! Until you get some black people on that motherfucking Wall of Fame!

Sal: You're gonna fucking close me? [Sal grabs his bat]

Buggin' Out: You're goddamn right!

Sal: You black cocksucker! I'll fucking tear your fucking nigger ass!

Punchy: Oh, we're niggers now? We niggers now!

Buggin' Out: You fucking white trash! I'll fuck you up!

Mookie: Sal, put the fucking bat down!

Buggin' Out: Come on, man, you fucking guinea trash! Jump over the motherfucking counter!

Sal: You black cocksucker! You nigger motherfucker!

Aretha Franklin RIP

„Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It's transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It's uplifting, it's encouraging, it's strengthening.”
