CHRIS SQUIRE

"THE BEST TIME HAS NOT YET ARRIVED" 

Yes showed up, and they firmly convinced Paris

"I still feel the impression of having played with John, “Imagine" (Alan White)

translation of interview:

At first the group manager told us that we could only talk to Chris Squire, the bass and Alan White, drums. He also asked me to keep the interview short and we went outside for video recording (quite possibly part of this interview will be broadcast in "Pop World", a new TVE news slot on Wednesdays at 3:30). We were lucky because the interview was longer, because Jon Anderson, the singer, also appeared, and because at the end we also had the opportunity to speak at length with Rick Wakeman.

Question: I think that curiously the music of Yes has influences from Gregorian music and also from the current classical music of the 20th century.

Chris Squire: Well yes, I agree with you. Yes's music has influences of all styles. It is a mixture of classical music and also with Hindu influences.

Hindu influences?

Squire: Yes, I think so, Hindu influences. Music from everywhere a little.

Jon Anderson appears and sneaks in front of the video camera and sits with us. (I was very interested in interviewing because he is the true leader of the group).

Jon, do you also think about a certain influence of Gregorian music?

Jon Anderson: Yes, but we must not forget that our music is above all rock and roll.

On the third side of "Tales from Topographics Oceans" Steve Howe plays a good guitar piece with a lot of Spanish flavor.

Anderson: Yes, yes yes, Steve loves to compose acoustic music on Spanish guitar. He is very influenced by this and he likes to transfer this music on the electric guitar because it has a really original sound.

What is Alan White doing, a rock drummer, in a group like Yes, which was supposed to be a neoclassical group?

Alan White: Of course I am a rock drummer but I feel perfect in Yes. It is a group with a lot of strength and that needs a solid drummer.

What is the difference between Bill Bruford and Alan White?

White: My hair is longer. (Everyone laughs)

Is it the only difference? Surely there is some other.

Squire: Well yeah, there's another one: Alan has curly hair and Bill doesn’t.

It seems they weren't too fond of Bruford, but I'd rather not insist. The atmosphere is nice and everyone laughs.

I understand that this question is asked by everyone but I have to do it too. What is the difference between Yes and groups like Genesis, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer and people of this type?

Anderson: Our style may seem similar but I assure you that we are all different. The public is the one who knows the difference.

Jon, who are your favorite singers in all styles?

Anderson: Well, it could be Joni Mitchell and Maria Callas.

I am going to see Joni Mitchell tomorrow in London (we will talk about it in DISCO EXPRES). As an original member of Yes what do you think of the changes in the group?

Anderson: They are changes to find the right people, to write and make music at the right time.

What is the best LP? Please do not say that the last one, if it is not true, to promote it.

Anderson: (laughs). One of my favorites is the "Close to the Edge”.

Alan White thinks so too?

White: Yes too, although I don't play on the album. Bill Bruford was still there but I like the album and I like how we performed it live.

What is the difference between Wakeman's solo albums and Yes's? I think a lot.

Squire: Yes, Rick with us is one more, the group is five members. Alone he does what he cannot with us. Probably if Jon made a solo album it would also be different from Yes.

Your way of playing bass is quite classic. Do you know Pablo Casals? Are you influenced by rock bassists?

Squire: I do know Casals and I like him, but my influences are more on the side of Willie Dixon or Larry Graham Junior of Sly and the Family Stone. In other areas I like Neu, Chick Corea, Miles Davis and his bassist Michael Henderson.

What records do you listen to at home?

Anderson: Frank Zappa, [Vangelis] Papatanasius who is Greek, Sibelius. We hear about everything.

Why don't you come to Spain?

Anderson: We'll probably be going later this year. Some things need to be fixed.

We have to find big places that seem to only exist in Barcelona. We could play in bullrings but Steve doesn't want to. He thinks that bulls have been killed there and he doesn't want to play.

Do you know flamenco guitarists? Why not include one in the group?

Anderson: (laughs) I know Manitas de Plata.

Do you know the experiences of Sabicas and Joe Beck?

Anderson: No, but I can imagine it.

Sorry, but the time has come to talk about the Plastic Ono Band.

White: You will ask me about John Lennon, right?

We can talk about them, in general.

White: For me it was a great experience to play with such good people. We made some good music and also some bad. The best thing, and what impresses me the most is that I was playing on “Imagine”.

Is Yoko Ono like everyone believes, or is it different?

White: She is a little crazy but she is an excellent person. She has a very strange sense of art. John sometimes has to tell her: Shut up already! He knows how to deal with her.

What does Roger Dean represent for Yes?

Squire: Makes our covers and designs the stage set. He has incredible ideas that sometimes we can not realize for what they cost. The ones we make are very good and are also his ideas.

I think Yes is at the best moment of its career.

Squire: It is possible, but the best moment has yet to come.

If you hide from all storms, how will you grow? إن كنت تختبئ من كل العواصف، فكيف ستنضج؟

A few days ago, the Bolshoi’s General Director, Vladimir Urin, spoke with Kommersant about the challenges facing the Bolshoi during COVID-19 pandemic and the plans for the future. I’ve translated the interview.

It’s a long but interesting read. A sobering one, too. It’s particularly interesting because the Bolshoi’s dancers were unaware of some of the information shared in it. Such as when they are likely to return to work or the situation with their salaries. There’s been some noise and movement on instagram in the wake of this interview.

Some key points:

How much does the Bolshoi lose every day it’s closed?

It’s a matter of simple calculations. Last year, we earned 2 billion 700 million roubles from ticket sales. Divide that by the number of working days… You get 9 million a day.

You must be considering a few possible outcomes. What are the best- and the worst-case scenarios?

I very much hope that we will resume operations in the new season. That is the best-case scenario. Considering the way this situation is developing, I am almost certain that no performances are possible until the end of June; perhaps, even the end of July.

Then what is the worst-case scenario?

I don’t want to get into it, because it’s scary to even make a prediction of what would happen if we don’t open in September. It could go as far as the destruction of the theatre. Not the building, of course.

Are you paying your staff? How many are there, by the way?

3,400 people. The March salaries were paid out in full, since the theatre operated almost for the entire duration that month: performances ran until the 15th, and rehearsals finished on the 25th. The salaries for April, May and June will depend on the funds provided by the government.

Offical Lines from The Last Jedi, 

translated from the German Version.

[mestizo-efp]

My love where I come from

a kiss and a goodbye are the same thing

Come with me

I’ll take you where

loneliness is a more beautiful gift than a rose

He was the son of late trains

They introduced mom and dad

She was as beautiful as the darkest sky

She was looking for the meaning of life in bars

Pretending they were living in a Christmas movie

because life there never seems hard.

Instead here, in this fucking province

you need courage even to be afraid.

My love where I come from

a kiss and a goodbye are the same thing

Come with me

I’ll take you where

loneliness is a more beautiful gift than a rose.

It would be better if you don’t love me

You miss me and you know why?

Because you don’t aim well.

A gunshot will be heard in the distance, then the noise of an ambulance

and I won’t be there anymore.

They made love in Morse code

at night, on the roof of a one-room apartment.

To send a message to the aliens

“After all, mankind is not so bad”

One day he asked her “Chiara, will you marry me?”

With a ring in his hand and a forced smile

She realt thought about it for a minute of two

then she said “No, let’s go get an ice cream”

My love where I come from

a kiss and a goodbye are the same thing

Come with me

I’ll take you where

loneliness is a more beautiful gift than a rose.

It would be better if you don’t love me

You miss me and you know why?

Because you don’t aim well.

A gunshot will be heard in the distance, then the noise of an ambulance

and I won’t be there anymore.

When the investigators arrived

They asked her what happened

She answered she knew nothing about it, then she said “I’m going to get an ice cream”

Translating 'Bara Tessitris'

Firstly to note, the very title is functionally unique when compared to English, the word 'bara' is functionally derived from the oblique case, as well it covers the grounds as both an adjective and as a noun.

The word 'tessitris' is a plain adjectival variant of the inalienable adjectival form 'tessitrea', that word itself in both contexts means "defleshed", or literally "off-skinned", but having the semantic sense of having had the structure of a thing stripped down. Now, this word is different from the word meaning shattered or shattering, but these two terms are both equally as acceptable of one another.

Translating the title into english results in the translation of "Barren, Stripped", note the comma.

Now to translate 'Nis spheras idsitreas… Ab na spheras baralias… Nos ettus zara…'

'nis' is the meek demonstrative form of 'na' and 'nos' used to show the pitiful state of an unrenewable thing, and with the usage of the comparative case connecting the noun with the adjective you have the first translation down. Of note, id- means not, so idsitrea means 'not-fleshed'.

The next sentence uses the ablative word 'ab' which in this context means 'from', but could also have the sense of 'into'.

-lias is the comparative form of the adjectival suffix meaning "process, nature" (compare verbal '-an' and nounal '-mus').

The final sentence is just a reinforcer, being 'nos ettus zara' it should be quite easy to figure out given everything established, which it means "this, it is dead." 'ettus' is the nominative form of the oblique word 'eta' which means it, and 'zara' is a word of the same grammatical nature as bara, filling that same adjective/noun paradigm, but it also functions as a verb, and so it means "to die" or "sap away" or "depleted" in relation to wetness or lifeforce.

Akanen: “But, aren’t you the one in the most hard time? You’re in charge of writing the script, and this is your first time writing a script, right?”

Yuuka: “Yes. But, Yuipon is busy with her club activities, and who would’ve thought that Nanako......”

Akanen: “That she got an award in drawing manga and made a debut.”

Yuuka: “Ah, btw do you know that Mr. Sawada, our homeroom teacher, brought manga that was drawn by Nanako into teacher room?” Yuuka: “Moreover, it’s not only the special book, he even brought the shoujo manga that had Nanako’s drawing, the thick one.” Yuuka: “He was so proud like he’s the one drawing that, and he even jumped up for joy. But after that he got scolded by the School Principal......”

Akanen: “Hahahaha. as expected from hot-blooded Mr. Sawada.”

Yuuka: “But, everyone is really moving forward to their dreams, aren’t they.”

Akanen: “Yes, that’s why it can’t be helped if everyone couldn’t gather.”

Yuuka: “I always wanted us to be together forever, somehow when i think about we have to go to our own way, it kinda makes me sad.”

Akanen: “You’re right..... Ah! I have an idea!”

---------oo0oo---------

Risa: “Good work, everyone.”

Shiichan: “Ah, Risa! Are you done with your club activities? Good work.”

Risa: “Eh? Where is Yuuka and Akanen?”

Habu: “They went to teacher room.”

---------oo0oo---------

Uma: “We’re done taking control of teacher room. All of the teachers are here.”

Panda: “Yosh, we did good. Even so, we’re so lucky.”

Ushi: “You’re right. Who would’ve thought that there’s security camera monitor placed in teacher room.”

Usagi: “But there’s too many hostages. With us, 4 people, we can’t monitor this many people.”

Panda: “You’re right. It’s going to be enough with 2 or 3 students. And then we will chase the rest out of school.”
