História(s) da Música Popular (8)




Ora continuemos em maré de tragédias, pois nesta série de “pretos e brancos” poucos lhe escapam e, no caso dos brancos que por aqui vão passar, nenhum se livra dela. Voltemos, pois, ao fatídico dia 3 de Fevereiro de 1959, “the day the music died”, e ao facto de a necessidade de lavar a roupa poder determinar a vida de alguém, e também do Rock & Roll. Sim, esta necessidade básica foi uma das razões, a par do cansaço, que levou Buddy Holly (1938, Lubbock,Texas) a decidir alugar um avião em vez de continuar de autocarro. O resto é história e resta acrescentar uma quarta vítima do desastre, que a história também se faz sem vedetas: Roger Peterson, o piloto do Beechcraft Bonanza. Buddy Holly aprendeu cedo a tocar vários instrumentos (piano, violino e guitarra) e foi a música de Elvis Presley (“we owe it all to Elvis”, terá dito) que o convenceu a mudar do country, por onde já andava sem sucesso notório, para o rock, onde os seus “falsetos” e “hipcups” o tornaram de imediato notado. That’ll Be The Day” (gravada para a Coral/Brunswick, uma editora de NY, a 18 de Março de 1957) é a prova dessa evolução, pois antes desta versão rock, que lhe abriu as portas para um sucesso efémero (3º lugar nos tops), terá tido uma outra ao estilo Country & Western. Francamente, desconheço-a, mas sei que Buddy Holly e o seu back up group (os Crickets) foram os primeiros brancos a actuarem no célebre Apollo Theater, do Harlem, estando a assistência convencida de que seriam pretos. Como também sei que não foi o guitarrista dos “Shadows”, Hank Marvin, a lançar a moda dos óculos de tartaruga no mundo do Rock & Roll... E, já agora, alguém me diz se Peggy Sue tornou a casar? Bom fim de semana!

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However think of if you added
some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could definitely be one of the
most beneficial in its niche. Great blog!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is
added I get three emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
