    I worked with Kevin Carter back in 1993/94 at a body shop in Uxbridge, he was a panel beater, drove a MK4 Ford Cortina 2.0S, a red one which I repainted for him. He eat Ham rolls nearly everyday and drank a lot of tea. He would have been pleased they wrote a song about him.

      @@meritpoint funny, but not funny enough. That punchline doesn't deserve its set-up. The punchline must be funny enough to justify the means. This usually entails putting the humor in line with the tragic so that they are moving in the same direction. That way, the the power of the humor can be be assisted by the power of the tragedy, instead of working against the power of the tragedy by giving it a punchline that does not recognize, or tries to take away from, the power of the tragedy. One way to do this would be to actually increase the power of the tragedy with your punchline, so that the "power levels", so to speak, of humor and tragedy are both increasing over the course of the joke - they go in "the same direction". In a good joke, the power of the tragedy is inextricably linked to the power of the humor so that the sadder the joke becomes, the funnier it gets; but this can only occur after Humor and Tragedy have been linked by a trade relationship in which exchange can occur - Humor must first make contact by paying tribute to Tragedy.

I haven't heard this track in a very long time and never knew the context behind the track. It's a cracking track. R.I.P to Kevin Carter and I'm so sorry the pain of witnessing the worst of humanity was too much for him to bare.

    Kevin Carter would not have wanted to see what society was destined to become because no one was willing to say no, as long as they could get a little better off themselves. I respect their choices to check out. Not everyone is cut out for this life. If you cannot enjoy serving yourself, then the 21st century offers thin spiritual gruel.

      @robvig ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, i’d say he was pretty unusual.. hard to spot with the bass unless you listen to mostly guitar stuff. Uniqueness that can only come from learning by the seat of your pants and instinct and not concerning yourself with muso musicianship but just trying to forge something fresh and personal that serves as a counterpoint to an exceptional musician such as James D and Sean too of course, seeing as his input is vast also

    Missing person....Richey Edwards, 1st Feb 1995, he was an intelligent guy academically, well read, good with words, BUT he couldn't find a way to live, he couldn't find peace of mind. You see, in life, without having peace of mind in your life, and if you are feeling tormented by guilt, shame or just your own thoughts are driving you crazy ...then........... your life will be very hard, and it will lead to massive depression, and is some cases tragedy. Peace of mind is everything.

    Based on the book about the 'Bang Bang Club' the name given to a group of photojournalists one of whom was Kevin Carter from South Africa who documented the last years of apartheid and the violence caused by its disintegration, it's an amazing but harrowing account of this period of history but well worth the read. Brilliant song by the way written by the beautiful genius Richard Edwards.

      No I didn't Google it thanks, some of us do actually read books. He did take a photo of a child dying from the famine in Sudan, but he also took thousands of other photos as you would expect from a photojournalist. The name 'The Bang Bang Club' is taken from the title of the book which is about the last years of apartheid in South Africa which if you had read it you would know.

    • @cazb877
      @cazb877 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well I guess you could say that Kevin Carter and Richard Edwards had quite a bit in common, although the latter one's fate is still a bit of a mystery.

    Great tune. Clever music video too. With the camera's as a direct metaphor for Kevin Carter. A famous photographer who won a Pultizer prize for the picture of the African and the eagle and then killed himself out of guilt. The song is about that and the events in between. The lyrics 'click himself under' is about the suicide. Not sure about the elephant and mochete. Could be about the elephant that got shot so Carter could publish a photo. My faviroute Manics song anyway

    I bumped into these guys (bang bang club) in Alrode one day. We just came from Phola Park repairing an underground cable and it was not safe in the town ship and we warned them don’t go their, but they did. I didn’t even know who they were until Ken died and Madiba was on tele condemning the killing of journalists 😮

    “I'm really, really sorry. The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist. ...depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky.”

      hope you joined Ken and found peace from all the horrors this earthly domain showed you. it had so many beauties to offer that you missed out on, but the Lord had another mission for you. you showed us what we had to see through the eye of your lens. i hope we learned from it.
