We’re not just making promises That we know, we’ll never keep. Now did you read the news today They say the danger’s gone away There’s too many men But I can see the fires still alight Too many people They’re burning into the night. Making too many problems And not much love to go round There’s too many men Can’t you see Too many people This is a land of confusion. Making too many problems And not much love to go round Now this is the world we live in Can’t you see And these are the hands we’re given This is a land of confusion. Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth fighting for. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given This is the world we live in Use them and let’s start trying And these are the names we’re given To make it a place worth living in. Stand up and let’s start showing Just where our lives are going to. Ooh superman where are you now? When everything’s gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour. This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there’s not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth living in. I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago - .

Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos
102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.

Die 3-Cd Genesis- Anthologie 'R-Kive'
DIE 3-CD GENESIS- ANTHOLOGIE ‘R-KIVE’ VÖ: 03. Oktober 2014 Erstmals vereint: 37 der besten Songs von Genesis und aus den Solowerken der einzelnen Musiker Am 03. Oktober wird Virgin EMI / Universal Music Catalogue die drei CDs umfassende Genesis-Anthologie ‘R- Kive’ veröffentlichen. Das 37 Songs umfassende CD-Set, das 42 Schaffensjahre umfasst, dokumentiert die Bandgeschichte mit klassischen Arbeiten von Genesis und ausgewähltem Material aus den Solokarrieren von Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett sowie Mike Rutherford / Mike + The Mechanics. Die Werke von Genesis und die aus der Band hervorgegangenen Soloprojekte sind im Laufe der Jahre zu einer mehr als bemerkenswerten Serie von Glanzleistungen angewachsen und haben es gemeinsam auf unglaubliche 14 Alben gebracht, die die Charts anführten, sowie zwei weitere Dutzend in den Top 10. Insgesamt wurden von Genesis und den Solowerken der Bandmusiker weltweit mehr als 300 Millionen Alben verkauft. ‘R-Kive’ enthält in chronologischer Reihenfolge die größten Hits von Genesis, darunter ‘Invisible Touch’, ‘Turn It On Again’, ‘Land of Confusion’ und ‘I Can’t Dance’. Dazu gesellen sich, in entsprechender Reihenfolge, Soloklassiker wie ‘The Living Years’ und ‘Over My Shoulder’ von Mike + The Mechanics, ‘In The Air Tonight’ von Collins und sein Duett mit Philip Bailey, ‘Easy Lover’, sowie Peter Gabriels ‘Solsbury Hill’. ‘R-Kive’ beginnt mit ‘The Knife’, einer neunminütigen Proto-Punk-Nummer, die bei den frühen Konzerten den krönenden Abschluss bildete und noch zu jener Zeit entstanden war, bevor Hackett und Collins zur Band stießen. Zu den insgesamt 22 Songs von Genesis ist jeder der fünf Musiker gleichberechtigt mit jeweils drei Songs seiner Solowerke vertreten.
