Juliet De Loustal: locutrice en anglais

J’ai eu 20 ans en 1969 et la chance extraordinaire de rencontrer Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, John Trudell, etc… La plupart des gens de ma génération, celle des sixties, contemporains de son âge d’or, tout à leur plaisir de danser comme « on fait l’amour » (« rock and roll » en argot afro-américain), ont écouté cette musique, sans comprendre les textes des chansons.

Et pourtant, il s’agissait souvent de véritables poèmes, dont le sens avait autant d’importance pour les auteurs que leur musique. Au-delà d’une révolution musicale, culturelle et intellectuelle, les artistes qui l’ont illustrée exprimaient ainsi leurs rêves bleus et leurs amours libres, mais aussi leurs cris du cœur, d’amour et de révolte, leur espoir à pleurer de rage d’un monde meilleur pour tous.

Derrière les apparences souvent iconoclastes, se cachait une sensibilité à fleur de peau que les mots laissaient filtrer. Comme disait Léo Ferré, “dans l’âme ils avaient tant de bleu qu’on n’y voyait que du feu”. E. F.M.

“Rock” poets…

I turned 20 in 1969, and I had the extraordinary good fortune to meet people like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, John Trudell, and others… Most people of my generation — the sixties generation, living through that golden age — were caught up in the sheer joy of dancing to this music, dancing the way “making love” was described in African-American slang as rock and roll, without really understanding the words of the songs.

And yet, those lyrics were often true poetry. Their meaning mattered just as much to the writers as the music itself. Beyond being a musical revolution, a cultural and intellectual upheaval, the artists who shaped this era expressed their fervent optimism and their visions of free love, but also their heartfelt cries — cries of love, rebellion, and a desperate hope, almost exploding with rage, for a better world for everyone.

Behind their often renegade appearances was a deeply sensitive soul, one that slipped through and revealed itself in their words. As Léo Ferré once said:
“In their souls there was so much blue that all we could see was fire.”
