Autobiografska buntovna proza: Brus Springstin & Nenad Racković

citymagazine.rs

Već smo više puta utvrdili da se, zarad ekonomisanja, ali i silne želje da što više toga pokrijemo i predočimo vam,
na prostoru štedeti mora, te ponovo krećemo od zajedničkog imenitelja, a taj zajednički imenitelj, neka ovoga puta
bude autobiografski naglašena proza sa jasnim rok’n’rol kuturnim i supkulturnim dodatkom. Iz tog razloga pod krovom
istog teksta našli su se dva friška štiva koja potpisuju Brus Springstin i Nenad Racković.



Springstinova autobiografija Born to run (na srpski jezik preveo Dejan Cukić, objavila Laguna) do nas stiže sa višestruko
ponavljanim i referentnim ocenama da je reč o uspelom i zanimljivom autobiografskom delu, koje poseduje potencijal
da dobaci i do onih koji nisu toliko upućeni u Gazdin muzički opus i koji nisu toliko ushićeni onim što on već nekoliko
decenija unazad predstavlja. Po pitanju strukture, Born to Run formalno predstavlja troknjižje; Springstin se, da to
odmah razjasnimo i naglasimo, u ovom slučaju nedvojbeno zadržava unutar konvencija žanra u kom se obreo – ovo
je glavnotokovsko i (u najzdravijem mogućem smislu tog pojma) konvencionalno autobiografsko štivo. Ako je to posve
jasno, možemo da krenemo u pravcu finesa i povoda za pohvalu; Born to Run krasi smisleni detaljizam i ritmično
pripovedanje, koji u značajnoj meri i na knjiški uzbudljiv način donosi prikaz svetonazora i unutrašnjeg sveta Springstina.
I u ulozi pisca-namernika Springstin pleni istinskom autentičnošću, a, budući da se dobrim delom bavi i njegovom radnom
etikom, ova knjiga, uostalom, kao i svi njegovi albumi i njegova javna pojava uošte uzev, da se podvesti pod onu odrednicu
„the American experience’ (američko iskustvo).



.....................

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown

My hometown
My hometown
My hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like…

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son
take a good look around,
this is your hometown

Moj rodni grad
Imao sam osam godina i
trčao sa 10 centi u rukama
Na stajalište autobusa pokupiti dokument za mog starog*
Sjeo sam mu u krilo u velikom starom Buick-u* i upravljao kako smo se vozili kroz grad
Razbarušio mi je kosu i rekao
sine pogledaj dobro oko sebe ovo je tvoj rodni grad
Ovo je tvoj rodni grad
Ovo je tvoj rodni grad
Ovo je tvoj rodni grad

U '65 napetost je rasla
visoko kao moja srednja škola
bilo je puno tučnjava
između crnaca i bijelaca
Ništa se nije moglo učiniti
dva automobila na svjetluu subotu navečer,
na zadnjem sjedištu automobila bio je pištolj
Riječi su prostrujile kroz prasak sačmarice
Teška vremena su došla u moj rodni grad,
Moj rodni grad
Moj rodni grad
Moj rodni grad

Sada na Main Streetu* uljepšani prozori i prazne trgovine
Izgledaju kao nitko ne želi sići ovdje
ne više
Zatvaraju tvornicu tekstila preko puta željezničke pruge
Nadzornik kaže da poslovi odlaze, dečki i nikada se neće vratiti u tvoj rodni grad
Tvoj rodni grad
Tvoj rodni grad
Tvoj rodni grad

Prošlu noć ja i Kate smo ležali u krevetu
Pričali smo o odlasku
spakirati stvari i možda krenuti prema sjeveru
imam 35 godina i imamo sina
Prošlu noć posjeo sam ga
za volan i rekao
sine pogledaj dobro okolo sebe
ovo je tvoj rodni grad

Pesnik izneverenog američkog sna...




"The River"

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
and "Man!" that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride

Na ovo otkidam !! 

Ti jednu podižuću, ja jednu spuštajuću

Kad se diza ne valja da se spušća 

A jbg, od njega znam samo tu i onu drugu

A ovu? Ja je obožavam

Lilith ::

A ovu? Ja je obožavam

Odlična!

I film je super .... 

Lilith ::

I film je super .... 

Znam, sećam se onog malog smutljivca, ako je to taj film

Lilith ::

Jeste, to je to  
Super je film, gledao sam ga nekoliko puta

Moguće je da je ovaj lik jedan od retkih muzičara, ako ne i jedini, čije pesme, iako živahnih melodija, imaju sasvim drugačiju poruku, nekad depresivnu (Glory Days), nekad ironičnu (Born in the USA).
