why did anyone even bother making music in canada between the years 1970-1984 when willie dunn was outslaying everyone at all points

[fluidstatick]

I pity the country,

I pity the state

And the mind of a man

Who thrives on hate

Small are the lives

Of cheats and of liars

Of Bigoted newspress

Fascist town criers

Deception annoys me

Deception destroys me

The Bill of rights throws me

Jails they all know me

Frustrated are churchmen

The saving-of-soul men

The Tinker the tailor

The Colonial governor

They rape and they beat me

They're seeking to draw me

Away from the roundness

Of this life

Silly Civil Servants

They thrive off my body

Their trip is with power

Back bacon and welfare

Police they arrest me

Materialists detest me

Pollution it chokes me

Movies they joke me

Politicians exploit me

City life it jades me

Hudson's Bay fleeces me

Hunting laws freak me

Government is bumbling

Revolution is rumbling

To be ruled in impunity

Is tradition continuity

I pity the country

I pity the state

And the mind of a man

Who thrives on hate

I pity this country

O Canada!, by Mi'kmaq and Irish singer-songwriter Willie Dunn

I suggest really listening to the lyrics on this song while enjoying Dunn's guitar.

3/1/23.

I love projects like this - the reissue of Roxy Gordon "Crazy Horse Never Died". According to Paradise of Bachelors (North Carolina), this 1988 album's reissue has been in the works for a decade. It comes with a 48 page "chapbook". From the Bandcamp page: "Roxy Gordon (First Coyote Boy, or Tu Gah Juk Juk Ka Na Hok Sheena) (1945–2000) was a Choctaw, Assiniboine, and Texan poet, journalist, artist, activist, and musician." He was friends with Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen and Terry Allen wrote glowingly of his work.

Roxy Gordon's (Dallas, Texas) songs stand alongside other Native artists that combine cultural references with a folk/country sound: Willie Dunn, Morley Loon and John Angaiak.

I had a dream of my own accord We laid to rest the gun and the sword Buried the hatchet, buried the stake Bowed to each other Peace to make

the only reason I've listened to anyone other than willie dunn this year has been me forcing myself to take a fuckin breather. I'm in so deep

The Ballad of Crowfoot (1968) dir. Willie Dunn

Music by Willie Dunn

This short film examines the situation of Aboriginal people in North America through the figure of Crowfoot, the legendary 19th-century Blackfoot leader of the Plains. A rapid montage of archival photos, etchings and contemporary newspaper clippings is married to the words and music of an impassioned ballad written by Mi'kmaq singer and songwriter Willie Dunn.

33

Full many a glorious morning have I seen

Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,

Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

Anon permit the basest clouds to ride

With ugly rack on his celestial face

And from the forlorn world his visage hide,

Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace.

Even so my sun one early morn did shine

With all-triumphant splendour on my brow;

But out, alack! he was but one hour mine;

The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now.

Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;

Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.

55

Not marble nor the gilded monuments

Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme,

But you shall shine more bright in these contents

Than unswept stone besmeared with sluttish time.

When wasteful war shall statues overturn,

And broils root out the work of masonry,

Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn

The living record of your memory.

’Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity

Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room

Even in the eyes of all posterity

That wear this world out to the ending doom.

So, till the Judgement that yourself arise,

You live in this, and dwell in lovers’ eyes.
