Why is Tom Petty angry with Michele Bachmann?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jun/29/michele-bachmann-tom-petty

　それが共和党であろうと民主党の候補であろうと，トム・ペティが怒るのがは当然でしょう。

　Michele Bachmannが アメリカン・ガールのイメージとしてどうかはさておき，勝手に政治的目的に利用するのは許されない。

　これは，トリックだ。

Indonesia's maid trade thrives despite Saudi execution

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13943910

　ジャカルタ発。

　我が国の通信社やマスゴミには望むことが出来ない種類の報道のひとつ。


　これほど，かような仕打ちを受けた例が(おそらく数えきれないほど)目の前にあるにもかかわらず，インドネシア女性のサウジアラビアへの出稼ぎは盛況だというのです。



　さて，台湾桃園縣の山中にある小さなホテルの経営を父親から引き継いだ青年は，二人のインドネシア女性を雇っています。

　社長の言いつけに従ってイスラムの頭巾を被らずに艶やかな黒髪を陽に輝かせ，朝から晩までにこやかに彼女らは働いていました。
　台湾語も社長の母直伝の台湾料理も就業半年とは思えないほど立派にこなしていました。

　片や，堕落したイスラム社会に飛び込んで耐えて働く女性たち，一方，現地に受け入れられるためには(頭巾に関する)戒律を破らねばならない-非イスラム社会へ出稼ぎに来た-素朴な明るさを発する女性たち...その対比。


　サウジアラビアでのメイド労働がどんな理不尽なものか，かつて，マニラで経験者から聞いた事があります。言葉に表すのも忌まわしい内容もありました。

　また，富山市には頭巾を被ったインドネシアやマレーシアの若い女性が来ています。


　
　「奴隷は日本にもいます」?「日本の人身売買」?

　アメリカさんは何を見ているのだろう。

Miss Otis Regrets/Just One Of Those Things

Written by Cole Porter

Performed by Kirsty MacColl with The Pogues

Red Hot & Blue: Cole Porter Tribute
1990,Capitol


　CDは，コール・ポーター生誕100年の前年，1990.9に発表された。
　この6月は生誕 120年に当たるのだ。

　Red Hot & Blue の企画についてはいろいろあり，コール・ポーターについては詳しい資料がある。

　カースティ・マコールは本アルパム発表の10年後，41歳の若さで事故死した。





Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last night down in Lover's Lane she strayed,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone,
Madam,
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail,
Madam,
They strung her upon
The old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her head and cried,
Madam,
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."



As Dorothy Parker once said to her boy friend,
"Fare thee well,"
As Columbus announced when he knew he was bounced,
"It was swell, Isabelle, swell,"
As Abelard said to Heloise,
"Don't forget to drop a line to me, please,"
As Juliet cried in her Romeo's ear,
"Romeo, why not face that fact, dear?"
It was just one of those things,
Just one of those crazy flings,
One of those bells that now and then rings,
Just one of those things.
It was just one of those nights,
Just one of those fabulous flights,
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings,
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit
Of the end of it,
When we started painting the town,
We'd have been aware
That our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down.

So goodbye, Dear, and Amen.
Here's hoping we meet now and then,
It was great fun,
But it was just one of those things.

Kirsty MacColl with The Pogues

Do I love you do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I, if you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day, what would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see,
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me.

Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?

Well no one told me about her the way she lied
Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry

Belle...
The Lord and I have been friends for a mighty long time
Belle...
Leaving him has never ever really crossed my mind
Let me say just one thing...
I'd never go so far
cause it's Him no matter who you are
Belle...
oh it's you that I want, but it's Him that I need
(I'd like to take a minute) just to say now...
Belle...
Belle...
the laughter of the sound has quieted down
Belle...
The best thing we could do is have Him around
Let me say this one thing...
I think if love could've found
my heart was lost but now it's found
Belle...
Let's you and I let the love come down
I'm so happy... let me say this...
It seems so easy to me
I've tried to act naturally
Let's not waste each other's time
Belle...
Lord, He's my surprisin', my pride and my joy,
Belle...
I know that you can understand
This little country boy
(I'm just a country boy)
Belle...

He brought me safe thus far...
(Let me say this to you lady...)
through many drunken country bars

Oh, let me say,
He's my bright morning star
Belle..
He's my bright morning...
My everything...
Belle...
Belle...

Belle...
I know you're all of these things girl
ya, but He's such a brighter joy...
He's! He's! He's!
Jesus is my!
My everything!
My everything!
In the morning (time)
In the evening (time)
In the daytime
In the nighttime...

He's my everything, yeah!

Every time that I fall for that same old trick
I punish myself with the same old stick
I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself
Forgetting reality
Ignoring the fact that you're altogether someplace else
Forgetting reality

But I swear here and now
The truth shall be mine
And surrender to my prayer
The weapon is time

I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win this game my friend
And forget you in the end

Your memory seems like a living thing
I never know if I'm imagining
I look at your face and I know that's impossible
Forgetting it's just a dream
Now I'm hearing your voice saying anything is possible
Forgetting it's just a dream

And I still can't say why
You keep invading my mind
But this uncontrolled fixation
Grows weaker with time

A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me
A trickle of love still flows between you and me
But we live in different galaxies

But I swear here and now
Your heart will be mine
You'll surrender to my love
My weapon is time
And your wall of resistance
I will slowly undermine
While your uncontrolled fixation
Grows stronger with time

I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win this game my friend
And I'll be with you in the end

I'll play, yes I will

I Go To Pieces

Cover of Peter & Gordon's "I Go To Pieces"

Written by Del Shannon

Sung by Rachel Sweet

1978,Stiff single



When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by

I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by

I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"
"But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, I think about her only

I go to places we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She hurt me so much inside
Now I hope she's satisfied

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't like(want) parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up some clown
And she danced without a net up on the wire
I know a lot about her 'cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside
We've learned how to hide our feelings

Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down
They'd left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
(It) Was nothing more than sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had(has) the finest teacher, me, I taught her

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
Learn how to hide your feelings

Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all




　ピーター・アレンの生涯は，彼が遺した楽曲で構成されたブロードウェイ・ミュージカルで，世に明らかになってはいる。
　だが，いつか必ずや映画化される日が来るだろう。

　ミュージカルには盛り込まれなかったエピソードは少なくない。もっとも，波乱に満ちた男の一生は端折って台本化するしかないだろう。それほど，彼の人生は驚きと華やかな出来事で彩られているのだ。


　自分の才能はショービジネスのなかで開花すると信じるシドニーの移民の家に生まれた少年が，公演先の香港でチャンスを掴み，プロードウェイに渡るととんとん拍子で出世する。

　恩人の娘のスターとの華々しい結婚と5年後の離婚。

　彼は，ソロのシンガーそしてソングライターとして新たな挑戦を始める。
　アカデミー歌曲賞受賞(1980)はボーナスのようなものだ。


　最後の15年間，彼はゲイのパートナーとの新しい生き方を見つけていた。

　1992年，48歳のピーター・アレンはエイズに斃れ，遺灰はシドニーの沖に撒かれた。

　ミカンやレモン、オレンジ、ライム等の柑橘類は中国で初めて栽培され、長い旅を経てヨーロッパ、南北アメリカに伝わった。
　日本人にも食品や飲料、香料として親しまれ、品種改良が進んでいる。

　本書は、柑橘類が世界に広がっていった歴史を中心として、オレンジをはじめとする柑橘類の魅力をさまざまな角度から紹介している。柑橘類に含まれている成分に関する科学的な話題(ビタミンや糖類、香りや色を決める物質、果皮に含まれる精油、調理の際に見られる化学反応など)や、柑橘類が貴重だった中世の人々にとってそれはどのような意味合いを持っていたのか、冷害や干ばつへの対応、品種改良、需要の拡大、柑橘類と絵画や文学、行事との文化的な関係、などのさまざまな話題が幅広く取り上げられている。そして、そのなかに著者自身の柑橘類にかかわるエピソードや柑橘類を使ったレシピが盛りこまれている。単なる解説書とは異なり、料理好きな方も含めて柑橘類を丸ごと楽しめる内容となっている。

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
