JOHNNY DEPP REVOLUCIONA LAS REDES INTERPRETANDO UNA CANCIÓN DE BOB DYLAN.

El 9 de junio el legendario actor cumplió 59 años y, para festejar, decidió subir un video en su cuenta de Instagram cantando una canción de Bob Dylan.

Johnny Depp, guitarrista de “Hollywood Vampires”  decidió interpretar “The Times They Are A-Changin” escrita por Bob Dylan en 1963. La misma ha sido cantada por diversos artistas con un mensaje de protesta.

En el posteo en el que el actor publicó el video escribió lo siguiente: “Dos meses antes de que el mundo fuera sometido a la impactante cobertura en vivo del asesinato despiadado, sanguinario y público de JFK en noviembre de 1963, Bob Dylan se sentó a escribir una canción… Tenía una idea en mente que grabó apenas unas semanas antes del trágico asesinato de Kennedy. »

Y luego agregó: “La canción de Dylan se aplica a la situación actual de Covid-19, también, se aplica muy fuertemente a la imagen de George Floyd, siempre grabada en nuestros cerebros …”

Fue así que el artista decidió tocar esta canción, el día de su cumpleaños, en homenaje a George Floyd y todo el movimiento antirracista que está ocurriendo en Estados Unidos y el mundo.

Two months before the world was subjected to the shocking live coverage of the merciless, bloodthirsty and public daylight murder of JFK in Nov. 1963, Bob Dylan sat down to write a song… He had a particular idea in mind, which he recorded mere weeks before Kennedy’s tragic Assassination. Dylan had already achieved stratospheric acclaim from his treasure-producing workmanship and poetic abilities. He had already jacked up the bar of songwriting to an untouchable level. He also became a reluctant prophet, which can be quite an occupational hazard…Yet he remained himself while dodging all manner of con artists, bloodsuckers, angles, arrows, ignorance, injustices, and scrutinization of his life. His intentions remained pure. So he sat down and wrote the gold standard of protest songs, the seminal and most significant, mind boggling and staggeringly poetic, prophetic protest song the world will ever know: “The Times They Are A-Changin’”. Dylan’s song applies to Covid-19, it also, very strongly applies to the life altering image of George Floyd, forever seared to our brains… For me, it applies to the moment we are in, it applies to the moment they were in in 1963, it applies to everything before and everything since and everything that will be. I chose to perform this song live, for my friend @drbarbarasturm Covid benefit several weeks ago… I didn’t really know how to play it, but I figured I’d give it a shot, as it seemed to apply so well. And it applies now, more than ever. It was performed a couple of weeks before our collective paralysis was rendered complete by the images of our fellow human George Floyd being cruelly and brutally tortured to death on live TV. Let us take a moment to remember the sacrificial hero George Floyd and look with hope towards the changes that his tragic death will cause. And let’s salute the reluctant prophet Bob Dylan and the dream of change he inspired then, now, and onwards… His impact is that of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Hunter Thompson, Marlon Brando, Woody Guthrie, William Blake, Picasso, Bach and Mozart. Dylan’s song is to be kept near you, AT ALL TIMES!!! All love and respect, JD
