On her debut album for Philips, Nina Simone in Concert (1964), for the first time she addressed racial inequality in the United States in the song "Mississippi Goddam". This was her response to the June 12, 1963, murder of Medgar Evers and the September 15, 1963, bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed four young black girls and partly blinded a fifth. She said that the song was "like throwing ten bullets back at them", becoming one of many other protest songs written by Simone. The song was released as a single, and it was boycotted in some[vague] southern states.[31][32] Promotional copies were smashed by a Carolina radio station and returned to Philips.[33] She later recalled how "Mississippi Goddam" was her "first civil rights song" and that the song came to her "in a rush of fury, hatred and determination". The song challenged the belief that race relations could change gradually and called for more immediate developments: "me and my people are just about due". It was a key moment in her path to Civil Rights activism.[34] "Old Jim Crow", on the same album, addressed the Jim Crow laws. After "Mississippi Goddam", a civil rights message was the norm in Simone's recordings and became part of her concerts.

Also This:

"Initially the band hat contacted me way back in 2014 to produce and record their live debut album. They had a monthly residency at the well known domicil jazz club in Dortmund at the time. Titled “Filou presents…” the band hosted a show with a guest band every third Wednesday of the month, often sharing the stage altogether for one massive jam at the end of the night. The guest bands included well-known German jazz acts but often bands that push the boundaries of jazz in some way or another (Sommerplatte, Cosmo Klein, Xaver Fischer, among others). The monthly residence gave Filou the chance to experiment with unusual stage concepts. As a result, they came up with the idea to dissolve the barrier between stage and audience for the live show.

So instead of going to the studio to create a regular album, Filou wanted to create a live recording capturing all their energy and live show experience as their debut record. The concept of making the audience become part of the stage setting also sparked the idea of abandoning a PA system and providing headphones for the audience instead. It’s a very unique experience for the concert goer and obviously turned out to be a slam dunk for me to ensure the best possible audio quality without the usual PA and monitor trash in the mics

Yup, same here. He made it sound like they were the only group that did anything worth anything back then. They would've never gotten anywhere without Warhol using his fame and promoting them extensively and were just stupidly artsy fartsy and pretentious; the mega-hipsters of the day.

I think why he disliked Beatles was that their debut album was released at the same time as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.. Warhol got them record contract in the first place and the album bombed (allthou has some legendary songs, no doubt) but without him no one would've heard about them since of before.

Also Reed has probably the worst "rock" album on his merit: Metal Machine Music.. Some idiots take that album seriously It's just two guitars leaning against amplifiers...

I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan, but this song is one of the rockingest ever. Too bad devil horns hadn't been invented yet, they were made for this song.

Hi! I know you posted this comment long ago, and possibly learned otherwise since (or more probably don't really care), but first use of 'devil horns', or cornu, was a year or two prior to this audio - the Satanic-themed heavy rock band, Coven, are seen displaying the cornu on the inside gatefold sleeve of their debut album: Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls.

Possibly interesting trivia: a member of this band is named Oz Osbourne, and the same debut album I referred to above contains a track titled, 'Black Sabbath'. Further, there exists a photograph of one Charles Manson exiting a record store with the very same album tucked beneath his arm, and it is believed that it was played during many LSD fueled orgies at Spahn Ranch.

Your pal,

thank fucking christ for some solidarity, even it is too late. i was just spitting blood about this 'song' to my girlfriend the other day. it's a fucking embarrassment for all those somehow involved, and that includes all of us, as fellow human beings.
we should've stopped these talentless motherfuckers before they had a chance to release anything more than a debut album, the quality of which was obviously just at the level needed to ensure the formation of a brainless, loyal fanbase who would, evidently, continue to pay good money for anything and everything these cunts chose to subsequently release.
even the brainwashed victims who buy this current single must, as they listen on loop, faeces smeared on face, be aware of a dull nagging pain at the back of their brains as their entire being attempts to reject the poisonous noise before permanent damage is done, much like a defensive human body rejecting a transplanted lung. the only difference is, that lung had good intentions. this song does not.
it's a fucking disease on the battered face of music, a disease we could've nipped in the bud following early detection. but, as with many unexplainable bands (e.g. nickleback) we were either too embarrassed to talk about it or we thought it'd disappear.
well it fucking didn't. this one's fucking terminal people. the black eyed peas are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and one day our brains will just give in to the relentless, monotonous, mindless beat that will eventually riddle our bodies, pickle our brains and cause us to breathe our final breath.
you'd better hope that when you die, that's it. lights out. otherwise this fucking piece of shit song will be playing in your mind for eternity.


Apart from being an appreciator of good honest internet rage, I believe this is pretty much exactly how any person with an IQ equal to or greater than a grapefruit should react.
