De hartekreet van Aretha ......

Deze week was ik in de winkel, gauw even wat halen.

De 1,5 meter wordt door sommigen nog nagevolgd, een enkeling draagt angstvallig het kapje mét handschoenen, maar de meesten laten zich leiden door "Doen wat er moet gebeuren en weer wegwezen".

Ineens werd mijn aandacht getrokken naar de muziek die op gezellige achtergrond niveau je tijdens het winkelen begeleidt, om je tot nóg meer aankopen te verleiden.
Wát hoorde ik daar???:

Aretha Franklin: Think!!!
Ik hoorde haar, zoals ik nog nooit iemand het heb horen uitschreeuwen: THINK!!!
Om haar verontwaardiging te ondersteunen met 
FREEDOM!!!! FREEDOM!!!FREEDOM!!!
Ik doe twee uitvoeringen erbij, de ene puur zang, de andere uit de film the Blues Brother!

Als je de tekst,die ik hieronder plaats, leest alsof de zangeres het uitschreeuwt naar: RIVM, OMT, WHO, Rutte, de Jonge, de (staats) virologen,enz.enz. enz.....
dan zou er in die gewone winkel,een opstand hebben kunnen onstaan: "Waar zijn jullie mee bezig? Wat doen jullie ons aan?" 
Wij denken na.....geef ons onze vrijheid terug!!!

Nee, iedereen sjokt, hoort de muziek niet,luistert niet, doet al slapend wat gedaan moet worden.....

You better think (think)

Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think (think-think) let your mind go
Let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back
A let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a been too much more than ten (just a child)

I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doing to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah, think (think-think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Oh, freedom (yeah)

Oh freedom
Oh freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Oh freedom

Oh ya got to have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it

There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you with "I won't" (I won't)
But I was gonna change my mind
If you keep doin' things I don't (don't)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' ta do to me
(What you're tryin' to do to me)
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walk around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their mind
Well, be careful you don't lose yours

Ooh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha' know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' either can do

Oooh yeah, think about it, baby
(What 'cha tryin' to do to me, think)
Better go baby, think about it right now

Yeah, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Woo, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Hey, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby, baby, baby
(Tell about it - forgiveness)
Woo, tell about it baby (tell about - forgiveness)
FADES-
Yeah, woo-hoo (tell about - forgiveness)
Tell about it baby, you think about it right now

Leefse!
Aaltje.
