James Arthur Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987) was an American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic.
Baldwin's essays, such as the collection Notes of a Native Son (1955), explore palpable yet unspoken intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies, most notably in mid-20th-century America, vis-à-vis their inevitable if unnameable tensions with personal identity, assumptions, uncertainties, yearning, and questing. Some Baldwin essays are book-length, for instance The Fire Next Time (1963), No Name in the Street (1972), and The Devil Finds Work (1976).
His novels and plays fictionalize fundamental personal questions and dilemmas amid complex social and psychological pressures thwarting the equitable integration of not only blacks yet also of male homosexuals—depicting as well some internalized impediments to such individuals' quest for acceptance—namely in his second novel, Giovanni's Room (1956), written well before the equality of homosexuals was widely espoused in America. Baldwin's best-known novel is his first, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953).
Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier, OM ( /ˈlɒrəns ɵˈlɪvi.eɪ/; 22 May 1907 – 11 July 1989) was an English actor, director, and producer. One of the most famous and revered actors of the 20th century, he was the youngest actor to be knighted and the first to be elevated to the peerage. He married three times, to actresses Jill Esmond, Vivien Leigh, and Joan Plowright. Actor Spencer Tracy said that Olivier was 'the greatest actor in the English-speaking world'.
Olivier played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen from Greek tragedy, Shakespeare and Restoration comedy to modern American and British drama. He was the first artistic director of the National Theatre of Great Britain and its main stage is named in his honour. He is regarded by some to be the greatest actor of the 20th century, in the same category as David Garrick, Richard Burbage, Edmund Kean and Henry Irving in their own centuries. Olivier's AMPAS acknowledgments are considerable: twelve Oscar nominations, with two awards (for Best Actor and Best Picture for the 1948 film Hamlet), plus two honorary awards including a statuette and certificate. He was also awarded five Emmy awards from the nine nominations he received. Additionally, he was a three-time Golden Globe and BAFTA winner.
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; January 17, 1942) is an American former professional boxer, philanthropist and social activist. Considered a cultural icon, Ali was both idolized and vilified.
Originally known as Cassius Clay, Ali changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, subsequently converting to Sunni Islam in 1975, and more recently practicing Sufism.[clarification needed] In 1967, three years after Ali had won the World Heavyweight Championship, he was publicly vilified for his refusal to be conscripted into the U.S. military, based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. Ali stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong... No Viet Cong ever called me nigger" – one of the more telling remarks of the era.
Widespread protests against the Vietnam War had not yet begun, but with that one phrase, Ali articulated the reason to oppose the war for a generation of young Americans, and his words served as a touchstone for the racial and antiwar upheavals that would rock the 1960s. Ali's example inspired Martin Luther King Jr. – who had been reluctant to alienate the Johnson Administration and its support of the civil rights agenda – to voice his own opposition to the war for the first time.
Here we fucking go
1965
That's when I was born
With my name Gene Ween, yes
Well, I was born in...
1965 and that is my year and my birthday
I was born at 5:30am, of course I was
Huh?
Well, I wasn't born to die
I've been forming in 1989 with Mean Ween and Dean Ween
Since 14-years ago
How does it feel to be born in 1965?
1965. Je m'souviens d'une chanson
Et de deux anneaux d'or
Que nous portons encore
Et d'un petit garçon.
1965. Je n'me souviens pas bien
Qui de nous deux partait
Et la mort de mon chien.
Quelques années plus tard
On apprenait un soir
Qu'un chêne était brisé,
Qu'il n'avait pas plié,
Qu'il entrait dans l'histoire.
1900, juste après.
Je me souviens très bien
La couleur des volets,
Les parfums du jardin.
1970. Je me souviens d'avril,
Une femme aux yeux clairs,
Un voyage aux enfers,
Une année difficile.
1970, c'est la première fissure,
L'avocat, le Palais,
Et les lettres d'injures.
1976, c'est la mort de mon père
Et cette impression folle
Que ses dernières paroles
N'étaient pas les dernières.
1980 et les années qui suivent,
C'est la fuite en avant,
Le combat délirant
Des plus forts qui survivent.
C'est la fin d'une histoire,
La moitié d'une vie,
Vingt années qui s'égarent
Et les jours que j'oublie.
1965. Je m'souviens d'une chanson
Et de deux anneaux d'or
Que nous portons encore
Et d'un petit garçon.

You walked in
Just like smoke
With a little come on, come on, come on
In your walk
Well, come on
I've been waitin'
Are you waitin?
For my move, well I'm makin' it
So tell me baby, can you shake it?
If I can move it with ya
Will you let me take it?
I'll be down on my knees
Screamin' take me, take me, take me, take me
I'm yours
I've never felt so out of control
You don't even know what you're doin' to me
Come on and do it to me
Don'tcha stop
Come on, come on
Come on little rabbit
Show me where you got it
''cause I know you got a habit
In this place our time, how it's been forever
So we set ourselves aside, with our eyes left tender
Now turn your ears to the trumpets as they play tonight
The sound of horns is their trigger
I can't take this any longer
Waiting without an answer
You left me hoping with a faith
Let's get this process faster
Deliberation, take the innocence away
Is this battle being won, why are we here?
We're wasting our time
Bones dry, desiccating throughout history
War and war, humans die, for pride or just as human greed
I can't be part if this mess
I can't be part of this wreck
Now turn your ears to the trumpets as they play tonight
Cast aside in record time,
Our youth runs off like rain.
And you looked so lovely standing in your wedding dress,
That I was overcome.
Safe from time in black and white,
Faces shine like wine laid down.
And your voice was just like water in a crystal glass,
And mine made castles fall.
Was it all you'd waited for?
Cast your eyes to Southern skies,
they destroy our world together while we praysend our
souls so far from heaven we drift away
but inside we cry out
there is nothing left for me
i know now i lost it all
live all my world forever while we pray
try to sell our souls in sevens and start a play
the time is the time now
i'll be your rope to pull you through
but nothing can stop us now
cause there's no dona just like you
we'll hang our heads together while we sway
we'll through our hands high up towards heaven and scream
hurray
somehow in some life i knew i belonged with you
