Hi,
weiß gar nicht, ob das hier im richtigen Forum steht, keine Ahnung wo es reinpasst
Vorgestern habe ich das Remake "Dawn of the Dead" gesehen und als Vorspannmusik lief Johnny Cashs "When the man comes around". Dazu apokalyptische Szenen, quasi vom Ende der Menschheit (hat mit der Story des Films zu tun).
Später musste ich mir dieses When the man comes around noch zigmal anhören und feststellen wie genial es ist. Der Text verschafft mir jedesmal wieder eine Gänsehaut.
Und ich denke dabei irgendwie immer an Randall Flagg, der durch The Stand wandert.
Der Text kommt mir auch so verdammt bekannt vor.
Daher meine Frage: Hat King jemals irgendwo Johnny Cash zitiert, als Kapitelanfang oder so?
Ich erinnere mich zwar an "drei", wo Eddies Bruder gefangen gehalten wird und bei Trivial Pursiut ständig "Johnny Cash" als Antwort gibt, aber ich meine spezielle Textpassagen.
Grüße an alle,
Snake
EDIT: Vielleicht zum besseren Verständnis, hier der Text zum Lied (mann, wird das ein langes Posting):
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder:
One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see."
And I saw.
And behold, a white horse.
There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.
An' he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down.
When the man comes around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up.
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
For you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's ground.
When the man comes around.
Refrain:
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born an' some are dyin'.
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.
Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
The wise men will bow down before the throne.
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown.
When the man comes around.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.
Refrain
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
When the man comes around.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
And Hell follwed with him.
