Bagism

Το demo που μοιράζουμε στις τελευταίες συναυλίες είναι ένα ασπρο cd και μια άσπρη θήκη που δεν γράφει τίποτα. Αυτό,παρ ότι γεννήθηκε όχι απαραίτητα απο την ιδέα του bagism, έχει αρχίσει να μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ να το σκέφτομαι έτσι. Λίγα λόγια για τον όρο πού δημιούργησε ο John Lennon και η Yoko Ono:


ABOUT THIS PRESS CONFERENCE:
On March 31st 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono gave a press conference at the Sacher Hotel in Vienna, Austria. This was the first announcement of 'Bagism,' which they describe as "total communication."
It occured to the Lennons during their Bed-in for Peace event in Amsterdam that some people tended to automatically write-off the younger generation, and realized that perhaps even the Lennons' own general hippy appearance might likely close certain people's minds to their peace message.

The concept of Bagism might be summed up in this way: By removing the obsticle of prejudging someone according to the length of their hair or the color of their skin, certain people might be more inclined to take the words and ideas of others more seriously. Hence, total communication.

Effectively making this point in their usual disarmingly-humorous way, John and Yoko gave this entire press conference from the inside of a bag. They could not be seen, only heard.


"
JOHN: "Because when we were in Amsterdam doing Bed Peace, halfway through the week we sort of realized a tag to put on what we're doing which makes it easier for us and you to recognize what we're doing, by calling it Bagism. That means, if we have something to say or anybody has something to say, they can communicate from one room to another, and not confuse you with what color your skin is, or how long your hair�s grown, or how many pimples you�ve got."


Q: "How could you prove that you are John Lennon?"

JOHN: "I don�t have to. I�m here just to talk about peace. It doesn�t matter who I am."

Έτσι λοιπόν και ένα απόλυτα άσπρο cd σε κάνει να εστιάσεις μόνο στο περιεχόμενό του και όχι στο ποιός τραγουδάει,πόσο μεγάλη παραγωγή φαίνεται, πόσο έξυπνο μάρκετινγκ έχει γίνει...
