U2 - rock uvod u temu mog sljedećeg članka / na HRVATSKOM jeziku


Kako je to biti u tuđem umu i postati netko drugi?
(Rock uvod u temu o kojoj pišem u sljedećoj objavi)
U2
(Napomena: Ovo je moj komentar jednog odabranog specifičnog detalja o tim ljudima, a ne glazbena kritika benda i ja ni ne želim biti rock kritičar.)
Njihova svjetska koncertna turneja ZOO TV od 1992. do 1993. vjerojatno je dosad nenadmašeni multimedijski spektakl neke rock grupe. Ako baš ne po kvaliteti, onda svakako po ambicioznosti. Obuhvaćala je sve i svašta: od piratskih video prijenosa uživo, aluzija na pad komunizma i Berlinskog zida s posebno dekoriranim DDR trabantom, pa sve do satelitskog video uključenja u Sarajevo, tada pod ratnom opsadom. O svemu tome možete detaljnije pročitati na internetu. Detalj koji mi je ovdje posebno zanimljiv nema veze s politikom. Bono Vox se tada maskirao u rokerskog egomanijaka, tele-evangelista pa i samog vraga, nastojeći pobjeći što dalje od dotadašnje ozbiljne političke angažiranosti irske grupe U2.
U to vrijeme Bono je izjavio, "Kroz cijele 80-e pokušavali smo biti svoji i propadali u tom pokušaju čim bi se upalila svjetla pozornice… Onda smo odlučili zabaviti se postajući netko drugi ili barem drugačije verzije nas samih.“  Bono bi ostajao u svojoj glumljenoj personi i izvan koncertne pozornice objašnjavajući da mu je taj pomaknuti karakter davao slobodu da kaže stvari koje se kao Paul Hewson alias Bono Vox ne bi usudio reći.
Te dvije striktno odijeljene kategorije glazbe su i glavna osobina grupe U2. Ne znam nijedan slavni svjetski bend čije se pjesme mogu toliko jasno podijeliti u dvije vrste. One angažirane za neku stvar, ne nužno političku (Sunday Bloody Sunday, One, Pride, Gloria...) i one hedonistički bahate (arogantne) (Vertigo, Elevation, Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than The Real Thing...) Dok većina ostalih rokera ubrzo dosadi jer se ponaša predvidljivo i kad jednom uspiju svakog dana smišljaju neku novu kopiju tog istog hita nadajući se da će i ta pjesma ponoviti jednak uspjeh. Tako oni cijelog života ostaju za javnost ili humanisti ili hedonisti. Jedino U2 uspijeva nositi oba lica. Svaka njihova pjesma je ili na jednoj ili na drugoj strani kao da se radi o dva sasvim različita benda.
Dragi čitatelji da li i vi također trebate staviti masku na lice svaki put kad hoćete kazati ono što stvarno želite? Drugim riječima zato da biste mogli izreći ono što se pod svojim pravim licem i identitetom ne biste usudili?
Završno pitanje. Sve već znate o njima i kad bi U2 bio kapitalistička korporacija, U2 bi bio?
a) Coca-Cola
b) UN

The Change of World Superpowers Happens Right Now... in Football As I promised in the last article, I will write a new blog text if Croatia reaches the semifinals or Luis Suarez exceeds my expectations, and that's what happened. The legendary bad guy Luis Suarez played an excellent tournament with a small Uruguay (a country of 3 million people) but could not pass against big France. The French team were better and they have so many talented players to deserve a fight for the title of the World champion. Luis Suarez I supported this bad guy of the football World Cups as "Darth Vader of soccer" and I'm glad that he came back to the WC with the very good play. On the other hand, Croatia has reached the semifinals, YEAAAAAH! Regardless of the fact that Croatia is a small country too, with only 4 million inhabitants, given the players quality of THIS Croatian national team, led by Modrić from Real and Rakitić from Barcelona, it was not

New Tales of Past and Future of My Zumberak (look what's NEW on my youtube!) / in ENGLISH

New Tales of Past and Future of My Zumberak It is my pleasure to announce that in collaboration with Valentin publisher, I made a special kind of animated youtube promotion for my novel "Euinc." too. As in the first case, we have created short animated films in the style of popular anime movies that dramatize selected scenes from the novel, along with texts from the book translated into English to make it available to the broadest international audience. It is important to emphasize that these moving pictures and other additional content (comments on two more world languages, this time GERMAN and FRENCH) that you can see on my youtube channel now, are exclusively used for audio-visual animations on the internet. So my novel, which in printed form has a total of 389 pages on the classic A5 format page, is NOT a graphic novel with pictures. They are here only for the imaginative presentation of the book's content. We are especially grateful to the visual creatio

Rock intro to the topic of the month: BECK - MAGIC POTION THAT WILL GIVE YOU POWER / in ENGLISH

Rock introduction to the topic of the month: BECK HANSEN - MAGIC POTION THAT WILL GIVE YOU POWER  (at least they say it works…) (NOTE: Every month as an introductory article I write a post about one rock group or solo artist. Thus I've been writing so far about U2, Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, Evanescence, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Japan (David Sylvian's band), Green Day, The Police and this month my article is about Beck Hansen. I'm not a rock critic and I do not write these articles as a critique or a review of their songs. I am particularly interested in the specialties of life path and development of a musician whose music I consider original and highly valuable of course, and then I describe some details that are in some way related to the tourist theme of my monthly blog. One month this music introduction will be about some of our Croatian rock bands, which you in the English speaking area probably do not know much about.) Beck Hansen (born Camp
