LA REVOLUCIÓN TE LLAMA. REVOLUTION CALLING.

Como a cualquiera que fue adolescente en los 80's me gusta el "Rock" de la época. Una de mis bandas favoritas, aunque tal vez no muy conocida, es "Queensryche", quízá porque su música es bastante más compleja que la de los grupos más "comerciales" de esos tiempos. No solo tenían una "musicalidad" más elaborada sino que también sus letras eran más profundas. Esta es una versión en vivo de la canción que actualmente utilizo en la introducción del programa "Contravía" que conduzco los jueves por la tarde: REVOLUTION CALLING. A continuación, algunas frases de dicha canción.

As would anyone who grew up as a teenager in the 80´s, I like its "Rock". One of my favorite bands from that time is "Queensryche", though lesser known, perhaps because their music is more complex than that of those more "mainstream" bands. Not only did they have a more elaborate musicianship, their lyrics also bore a more profound message. This is a live version of the song I currently use as the introducción to the radio show "Contravía" which I anchor on thursday evenings: REVOLUTION CALLING. Here are some excerpts from the song.

Got no love for politicians /Or that crazy scene in D.C. / It's just a power mad town / But the time is ripe for changes / There's a growing feeling / That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media / To tell me the truth, / tell us the truth / But now I've seen the payoffs / Everywhere I look / Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling / Revolution calling / Revolution calling you / [There's a] Revolution calling / Revolution calling / Gotta make a change / Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit / They keep selling me on T.V. / About the communist plan /And all the shady preachers / Begging for my cash / Swiss bank accounts while giving their Secretaries the slam ...
