For Stuck Between Stations, Roger Moore has an excellent new post:
Please Remember Victor Jara, “the Chilean singer-songwriter and pioneer of the nueva cancion movement, who was tortured and murdered with many others following Pinochet’s CIA-supported 1973 military coup on September 11, 1973.” Jara’s name is little-known in the U.S., but he was canonized in the Clash’s track “Washington Bullets,” when Strummer intoned “Please remember Victor Jara, in the Santiago stadium.”
When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. -Eric Hoffer
