A Sense of Doubt blog post #3100 - For Robbie Robertson - RIP - Sacrifice - a reprint - Music Monday 2308.14

I originally published a Robbie Robertson-centric mix six years ago.

Time to reprint.

Sadly, he passed away after losing a battle to prostate cancer, which hits me, as I had that.

Aug 14, 2023  #TheLastWaltz

Musician and songwriter Robbie Robertson, best known for his work with The Band, died August 9, 2023 at age 80. In this "Sunday Morning" profile that originally aired December 18, 2016, Robertson talked with correspondent Anthony Mason about his memoir, "Testimony"; his years playing with Bob Dylan; and the rift with drummer Levon Helm that spelled the end of one of rock's most influential groups.

I used "Sacrifice" and Leonard Peltier in a recent teaching demo.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #734 - Sacrifice (for Leonard Peltier) - Musical Monday for 1707.10

Hi Mom,

This playlist is centered around the song "Sacrifice," a song written for Leonard Peltier by Robbie Robertson for his album Contact From the Underworld of Redboy.

Though I book end the playlist with two versions of "Sacrifice" (at least in terms of video), and though I do feature three tracks from the Redboy album, the rest came about mostly from the You Tube algorithm and wherever it leads, which is how I came across several of these songs that I would not otherwise have included, such as those by The Dead South, Anohni, and Allen Stone, all of which are brand new to me. "Native Son" by U2 is an unreleased track about Leonard Peltier. "Same Thing" by Flobots is also about freedom for Leonard Peltier.

Thematically, the songs in this mix only loosely fit together, but I like what has come about from the connections and the threads of the algorithm.

Leonard Peltier's story of being a scapegoat for the 1975 conflict at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has always moved me deeply and profoundly.

Robbie Robertson's recorded interview with Peltier that he laid into the song "Sacrifice" as a soundtrack is even more compelling.

Leonard Peltier is an innocent man paying for the crimes of others. He's a symbol of the racism deeply entrenched in this country, especially against the most oppressed people, such as the original people, the natives, those who first ruled this land, and those who were shipped here as slaves.

The story of Leonard Peltier is an example of the travesty of "American justice" and the power of the government, mainly the FBI in this case, to falsify evidence and mount a systematic and decades long campaign against an individual to make an example of him a statement about the dominance of the conquering white men who stole this land.

It's disgusting, and it makes me sick.

The best hope for Leonard Peltier not to die in prison evaporated when the Obama administration denied his application for clemency just a few months ago. The decision was announced January 18, 2017, just after Obama left office.

Okay, so I edited this entry because originally I did not have a playlist made in You Tube or listed here. Fixed that on Wednesday 1707.12.

Here's the YOU TUBE PLAYLIST LINK.

I would do an embed but then that defeats the purpose of the blog, eh?

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.

Hello I just found out today that Robbie passed almost 3 months ago. I live on the Navajo Nation and don't know how I didn't hear of his passing. I also lost my mother almost 3 years ago on Dec 17 2020 from covid and my father this year on March 4. Your tribute is what I was looking for. I was deeply influenced by Robbies music especially when he started making music about the Indigenous peoples. It resonated with me deeply. Thank you
