Mientras tuiteaba algo, he dado con la cuenta oficial del gran Paul Westerberg (@paulwesterberg), líder de los míticos Replacements y he buscado en una página de letras algun texto suyo de manera aleatoria. Knocking on mine, de su primer disco en solitario 14 songs (1993), ha sido la elegida. Gran canción con letra interesante en el estribillo:
Allright
You read common knowledge, stockpile your brain
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke
I say he who laughs first didn’t get the jokeGo on, untap your mind
Quit knocking on mineAn English teacher from Vancouver
She asked me to write something for her students.
I wrote knowledge adds, wisdom let slide
She says now really? I wanna tap your mindQuit knockin’ on mine
Walkin on
Knockin’ on mineKnowledge is power, got your books go read ‘em
Wisdom is ignorance; stupidity I call freedomKnockin’ on mine
Get outComic books, the Bible, roadmaps, pornography
Anything you wanna read
Go out and sit in a field sometimeQuit knockin’ on mine (knockin’ on mine)
Quit knockin’ on mine (knockin’ on mine)… power got your books go read ‘em
Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, I call freedom
Quit knockin’ on mine (knockin’ on mine)You read common knowledge every day.
You’re as common as that newspaper you throw away
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
Won’t you ever change
Won’t you ever learn
Pero como no he encontrado el video, dejo apuntado este Dyslexic Heart, de la BSO de Singles (1992), su primer material en solitario.
Que buena banda. Como me hubiera gustado verlos en directo en su mejor época………Saludos.
pues agregado a una lista de twitter, a ver si dice cosas interesantes (que no siempre los músicos interesantes twittean cosas interesantes)
