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.”
