MikeDunnAuthorToday In Labor History April 7, 1915: Jazz legend, Billie Holiday, was born. She was one of the first to sing Abel Meeropol’s, “Strange Fruit,” and performed the most well-known version of the anti-lynching song. Soon after her first public performance of the song, in 1939, the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics started gunning for her. Harry Anslinger, who was a racist, prohibition zealot, led the assault. He hired a black agent provocateur, Jimmy Fletcher, to befriend her and sell her drugs. And Fletcher conducted her first drug bust. <a href="https://youtu.be/-DGY9HvChXk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/-DGY9HvChXk</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jazz</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billieholiday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billieholiday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strangefruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangefruit</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#addiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drugs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lynching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lynching</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prison</a>

cernejpudink.czPřed 110 lety se narodila nemanželská dívka Eleanora Fagan. Známe ji jako Billie Holiday (7. 4. 1915 – 17. 7. 1959). To jméno a hlas bude navždy spojeno s krásnou, svůdnou, někdy toxickou, vždy vášnivou, hypnotickou hudbou. <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/10YearsOfPuddingRevisited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#10YearsOfPuddingRevisited</a> <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/Blues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blues</a> <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/Jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jazz</a> <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/BillieHoliday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BillieHoliday</a> <a href="https://www.cernejpudink.cz/2016/06/26/billie-holiday-stvorena-ke-zpevu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cernejpudink.cz/2016/06/26/billie-holiday-stvorena-ke-zpevu/</a>

Reverend ElvisOne of the most extraordinary musicians to date is Billie Holiday. I don't know what it is that makes her so magical. I've always listened to her music, even though it's not really my thing. I think Lady Day has this depth because she knows what she's singing about. She grew up in a brothel as a child, most likely experiencing all the hardships one could imagine. She became the absolute superstar of the young jazz scene. She was especially loved by the white “enlightened” bourgeoisie, who liked to look at negroes on stage. Hypocritical and dishonest as they are to this day, Ms. Holiday was only allowed to use the back entrance. Just like today, they claim that this humiliation was not at all their fault but that of the evil racists somewhere in the south behind the mountains. But it's not true! Just like today, they are hypocrites and liars, worse racists than the KKK could ever be. Shame on you! In retrospect, it can be said that Ms. Holiday left behind wonderfully sad, deep, incredibly beautiful songs. Only at what a price. Thanks to Allene Sweetwater Lynn I tried to pay my tribute. <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jazz</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/billieholiday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billieholiday</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/darkmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkmusic</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/sadmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sadmusic</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/sad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sad</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/dark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dark</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/reverendelvis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reverendelvis</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIcsKTj2tRo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIcsKTj2tRo</a>
