  • The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: John Stuart Blackie
    The Scottish Highlanders and the Land Laws: An Historico-Economical Enquiry by John Stuart Blackie, F.R.S.E. Emeritus Professor of Greek in the University of Edinburgh London: Chapman and Hall Limited 1885 CHAPTER I. The Scottish Highlanders. “The Highlands of Scotland,” said that grand specimen of the Celto-Scandinavian race, the late Dr. Norman Macleod, “ like many greater things in the world, may be said to be well known, and yet unknown.”1 The Highlands indeed is a peculiar country, and the Highlanders, like the ancient Jews, a peculiar people; and like the Jews also in certain quarters a despised people, though we owe our religion to the Hebrews, and not the least part of our national glory arid European prestige to the Celts of the Scottish Highlands. This ignorance and misprision arose from several causes; primarily, and at first principally, from the remoteness of the situation in days when distances were not counted by steam, and when the country, now perhaps the most accessible of any mountainous district in Europe, was, like most parts of modern Greece, traversed only by rough pony-paths over the protruding bare bones of the mountain. In Dr. Johnson’s day, to have penetrated the Argyllshire Highlands as far west as the sacred settlement of St. Columba was accounted a notable adventure scarcely less worthy of record than the perilous passage of our great Scottish traveller Bruce from the Red Sea through the great Nubian Desert to the Nile; and the account of his visit to those unknown regions remains to this day a monument of his sturdy Saxon energy, likely to be read with increasing interest by a great army of summer perambulators long after his famous dictionary shall have been forgotten, or relegated as a curiosity to the back shelves of a philological library.

  • Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (N°? - Février 1994) - Alan Di Perna
    Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (n°? - Février 1994) - Alan di Perna Clean and Sober Dave Navarro lives for today with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. L.A. is burning. A series of wickedly devastating brushfires have encircled the City of Angels, turning the surrounding hills into a raging inferno. But Dave Navarro looks implacably cool as he pilots his black Harley down Ventura Boulevard. The guitarist's newly sprouted goatee gives him a conquistador's air of stony self-possession as he glides along the wide thoroughfare. A bandanna and shades protect his hair and eyes from the pall of smoke and cinders that have made the city's air seem like the mouth of a badly vented fireplace. Angelenos have learned not to let castastrophe interrupt their daily lives, and Navarro is no exception. His bike safely stashed in a "Loading Only" zone, the guitarist enters a trendy coffeehouse--one of those self-consciously bohemian places that could only exist in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Settling onto a worn antique sofa, he orders a cup of black decaf and a bowl of cereal moistened with fruit juice. "I don't eat dairy," he explains. "No caffeine either. Right now, this is my only vice..." He smiles as he lights the first of many cigarettes. Studying the self-confident, purposeful guy seated at my side, I can't help but contrast him with the Dave Navarro I interviewed two years ago [GW, September '91]. At that time, he was a slavering, incoherent wreck, badly strung out on heroin and unable to even locate his shoes.

  • JANE's ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock)
    JANE'S ADDICTION Strays (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 2003 Nombre de pistes : 11 Durée : 48' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Révélé par son album Nothing’s Shocking en 1988, JANE’S ADDICTION obtient un impact considérable avec la sortie de Ritual De Lo Habitual deux ans plus tard. Certifié platine, ce disque consacre le groupe comme l’une des figures majeures du Rock alternatif. En pleine gloire, le chanteur Perry FARRELL, absorbé par le festival itinérant Lollapalooza qu’il a créé, décide pourtant de dissoudre JANE’S ADDICTION en 1991. Une longue parenthèse le voit alors s’impliquer dans cet événement, aujourd’hui une institution en matière de contre-culture sur les plans artistique, mais aussi politique voire religieux. Il revendra finalement ses parts en 1996. Sur le plan musical, il monte PORNO FOR PYROS avec le batteur Steve PERKINS, alors qu’Eric AVERY et Dave NAVARRO sont engagés respectivement comme bassiste de INFECTIOUS GROOVE et guitariste des RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. A partir de 1998, le chanteur entreprend de reformer JANE’S ADDICTION. La renaissance du groupe donne lieu à un album homogène et de belle facture, Strays, qui paraît en 2003. Après plus d’une décennie de silence, cette nouvelle collection de titres montre un groupe impatient d’en découdre. Par un tonitruant « here we go », Perry FARRELL donne le signal de l’attaque massive du morceau d’ouverture True Nature. L’album est traversé par le Hard Rock, marque de fabrique du groupe. L’énorme succès Just Because, illuminé par les riffs acérés de Dave NAVARRO, explose en un refrain extrêmement accrocheur.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Are an American Alternative Rock Band Formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983
    1. INTRODUCTION The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. For most of its career, the group has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael “Flea” Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock and heavy metal with various elements of funk, punk rock, hip hop, and pop. In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. However, Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning. Irons was replaced briefly by D. H. Peligro, before the band found a permanent replacement in Chad Smith, while Slovak was replaced by an upcoming guitarist Frusciante. This line-up recorded the band's fourth and fifth album, 1989's Mother's Milk and 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. However, Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the band's success and left the band abruptly in 1992. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction for their subsequent album, 1995's One Hot Minute. It failed, however, to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and sold less than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro was fired from the band due to creative differences. Frusciante, while absent from the band, developed a severe drug addiction and nearly died. In 1998, he completed rehabilitation and, at Flea's request, rejoined the band.
