Os Tempos de Harvey Milk

Documentário | The Times of Harvey Milk | Robert Epstein | 1984 | EUA | IMDB


Sinopse: "História de Harvey Milk, o primeiro homossexual eleito para um cargo político na Califórnia. Relembrando o tumultuoso clima social e político de São Francisco nos anos 70, seguimos os acontecimentos até o seu brutal assassinato. Os eventos e o julgamento que se seguiram uniram toda a cidade, primeiro no luto e, depois na revolta. Uma história de comunidades e valores em conflito. É, no fundo, um testamento à coragem e à esperança."

'69: Judy Garland - The Magnetic Fields



Letra:

The first brick the drag king threw

To draw blood from the boys in blue
Said "Here lies Judy Garland" on it
It flew through historic air
Even Taylor Mead was there
And Allen Ginsberg wrote a sonnet
One day after the funeral

Stones flew over the Stonewall
Judy Garland
Halfway through her tell-all memoirs
Who flew up into the stars?
Judy Garland
Judy Garland set us free
We tried to drive to Woodstock but

Our little blue bug couldn't cut
Through that last hundred miles of traffic
Love still dared not to speak
In l'année érotique
"Je t'aime" was banned as pornographic
So put those feather boas on

Drink too much wine
And celebrate the revolution
Of '69
Cause life-sized life never was enough

Who called reality's bluff?
Judy Garland
Patron saint, or victim of love?
Let's try "none of the above"
Judy Garland
Judy Garland set us free
Some say its a coincidence

No relation
As if she didn't die for us
Her love nation
Halfway through 1969

Who joined Heaven's conga line?
Judy Garland
Sick and tired of being alive
She flew back to Rigel V
Judy Garland
Judy Garland set us free

Judy Garland set us free
Judy Garland set us free
So be free with me
Judy Garland set us free
Judy Garland set us free
Judy Garland set us free
So be free with me



Stonewall Nation - Madeline Davis

Letra: 

I don't wanna see my brothers Kicked into the dust no more Their dreams all turned to rust no more No more, no more I don't wanna see my sisters Having to give in no more Their loving called a sin no more No more, no more And the Stonewall Nation Gonna have its liberation Wait and see, just wait and see You can take your intolerance and stick it We're gonna write our own ticket The Stonewall Nation is gonna be free Come on, brothers, march along We're all gonna sing our song right now, right now And, sisters, take me by the hand We're gonna build our promised land right now, right now And the Stonewall Nation Gonna have its liberation Wait and see, just wait and see You can take your intolerance and shove it We're gonna be ourselves and love it Stonewall Nations is gonna be free Yes, you can take your intolerance and shove it We're gonna be ourselves and love it Stonewall Nation is gonna be free
