Dejvid Birn, zašto je Šilja najprikladniji lik da nas zamoli da razumemo đavola

 

"I covered Sympathy For The Devil on a tour I did in ’92 with a large latin funk band. It was a late addition to the set list. This mix sounds like a board mix or maybe a monitor mix. Why did we do this? Because we could! We had a band lineup that could rock this tune… so why not? We did it as an encore number, which is where these oddball unexpected covers sometimes land. The lyrics (I had to research the real lyrics) are sometimes absolutely brilliant, sometimes silly (the Stones playing at being bad boys) and sometimes completely nonsensical. I covered Keith’s guitar solo as best I could. You can hear the audience doing the “woo wooh’s” in the 1st verse! You’ll notice I go into a “funny” voice about two-thirds through for certain lines. I was trying to sing like Goofy, the Disney character. Why? Well, there actually was a reason, though maybe not one good enough to justify how weird this sounds. I have long believed that the devil, should one exist, would not be some scary guy, but someone who sweetly perverts our better natures by more surreptitious means… and for me, Disney is the perfect example of that, with maybe the Olsen Twins as his consorts. So, following that logic, Goofy (the “harmless” clown minion) would be the perfect one to suggest we have some “sympathy” for the devil." - DB

Ne mogu da prestanem da slušam.

It is said that in late 1969 some members of The Beatles (not known for sure if it was John and Harrison or John and Paul) arrived in Mexico and travelled to Oaxaca to meet the shamana Maria Sabina and try some of their mushrooms hallucinogens and healing.
Shortly after that event, a regional band named Tepetlixpa's Plastic Band appeared, playing popular songs from The Beatles. According to Jose M. Silva director of the band, tells that during the journey to Oaxaca, in that municipality they offered the Beatles mole, pulque, nopales and totopos as part of a reception.
In 1971 La Plastica Band De Tepetlixpa released a curious album titled ′′ Goodbye to the Beatles ′′ consisting of 10 covers of the popular group masterfully performed by that band.
