"Bring on the night"



Must have been way back in the 1980s, when pop star Sting tried to bring some street credibility into his formerly slick New Wave star existence. Yet it was just Black Romanticism, maybe "Gothic" with a capital "G". Did he know of different lives back then, did he know what 'night' was like for an undercast who just did not have a chance to realize how 'cool' darkness and night 'really' were?
Austria seems like a peaceful, civilized place; yet, 'way back' in the late 1960s it was not so hard to end up in a jail (for some 'criminal' offence), in darkness with nothing but bread and water. Big fun, eh?!
Yours truly included, most people haver never experienced this total bulls*** way of life.
Who is there to judge how anyone ended up messing up his life like this?

Soundtrack: Don't let it bring you down, "a song that is guaranteed to bring you right down".
CSNY, Four Way Street live. Signed with the deepest respect for Neil Young as an artist and a loving, political human being. wemo

Have a look at the motion picture Déja Vu!
