![]() ![]() With its slash-and-burn riff and opening salvo “I’m a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm/I’m the runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb,” “Search and Destroy” is an anthem for the ages, the song that launched a thousand bands-everyone from the Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones and The Smiths’ Johnny Marr to The Clash’s Mick Jones will confirm it. “Over the top” might be the best way to describe some of the most memorable moments on Raw Power. It was difficult for me to sing to it, so I decided to go over the top.” So his style's very dense, very hard to find a place in. He doesn't really think about other people. “He learned in his bedroom, and he likes to write in his bedroom. Iggy’s new musical partnership with Williamson was difficult at first. “I'll be overwhelmed, and I'll be in an area where my feet can't touch the ground.” ![]() “I thought, this is not the time in my career to go anywhere without my own music,” he recalls. And the implied power shift was very real: This was now Iggy’s band. The dysfunctional, drug-addled band that had released their self-titled 1969 album and 1970’s Fun House as simply The Stooges was now Iggy & The Stooges. Everybody just threw up their hands: ‘Great, we’ve got the fucking Stooges.’”īeyond Williamson’s crucial presence, there was another important distinction. ![]() I got on the phone and pushed and shoved and manipulated until we got him brought over with me, and ultimately the other two. I said, ‘Play me your best current idea.’ He played me the riff to ‘Penetration.’ So that was what convinced me. So I sought out Williamson, who was the most interesting guitar player I knew. “I had an offer to go to England and put together a band, but no one was looking for The Stooges again-just me. “Once The Stooges Mach One had broken up, everything was in shambles,” Iggy tells Apple Music. But its beginnings were less than auspicious. Fifty years after its February 1973 release, Raw Power still looms like a colossus. What they didn’t know when they entered London’s CBS Studios in September of 1972 is that they were also about to lay the blueprint for punk. The newly reconfigured band, with Iggy on vocals, James Williamson on guitar, Scott Asheton on drums, and former Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton moving to bass-and David Bowie producing-was about to do just that. But what did I want? I just wanted to out-rock everyone.” That’s the thing: It was too wild for people. Ask Iggy Pop what he wanted to accomplish when he and The Stooges started writing their third album Raw Power, and he’ll tell you this: “I didn’t think we were going to accomplish much, because everybody preferred to listen to tamer stuff, frankly. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the final outcome, the passage of time also went against J&J. As Judge Rakoff said in his May 2008 ruling, since the American Red Cross “has used the name and emblem for over 100 years and has been granted exclusive use of the name and emblem by Congress, J&J cannot seriously argue that the words “Red Cross” and the red cross emblem serve as an exclusive designation of J&J products.” ![]() The Johnson & Johnson logo on some of their earliest products. There is another irony in Judge Rakoff’s dismissal of the Red Cross counterclaim that J&J misused the symbol and committed trademark infringement. He found it absurd that, if the Red Cross were correct that J&J could only sell kits containing exactly the same products as those sold up to the early 1900s, “J&J would be constrained to continue forever selling kits that contain such antiquated products as cat gut ligatures and kidney plasters.” Rakoff dismissed the “promissory estoppel” claim in November 2007, by ruling that the Red Cross never agreed to refrain from using the symbol for first aid, health, safety and emergency preparedness products. What remained was J&J’s claim that the Red Cross violated federal law by licensing the symbol to other companies. Judge Rakoff ruled against this, too, in May 2008. He seems to have been much influenced by the continuing charitable, non-profit-making nature of the Red Cross: he noted that the Congressional Charter logically covered use of the symbol for business purposes which served its charitable aims and that ultimately its licensing activities raised funds for the non-profit-making work of the Red Cross. He also pointed out the irony of J&J itself having entered into just this type of licensing agreement with the Red Cross! What changed the situation for J&J was that the Red Cross came to use the symbol on products it sold to consumers and that in 2004 it began to license other companies to use the symbol for products such as hand sanitizers, emergency and first aid kits which were in direct competition with J&J products. The objectives of the lawsuit were to prevent the Red Cross from using and licensing the symbol on first aid kits, safety gear and related products, to ensure the destruction of such products still in existence, and to obtain punitive damages and payment of J&J’s legal costs. J&J began using the symbol in 1887, after it was first formally adopted in Switzerland in 1864. The American Red Cross was founded in 1881, receiving a Congressional Charter in 1900 which prohibited use of the symbol by others. Since J&J had been using it for thirteen years before this prohibition, the company was allowed to retain it, and claimed that in 1895 Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, had agreed to the company’s exclusive right to its use for its products (the “promissory estoppel” claim). the company filed a lawsuit against the American Red Cross in August 2007, alleging trademark infringement. How was it possible for both parties to have used the same symbol from the late nineteenth century to 2007, apparently without effective challenge? Red Cross organizations use as their symbol a reversal of the colors of the Swiss national flag, in tribute to Henri Dunant and the other founders of the original organization in Geneva. It is an evocative symbol: medical aid on a basis of neutrality to warring sides on battlefields, visits to and monitoring of prisoners in camps and jails, distribution of parcels and letters to prisoners, exchange of prisoners and special missions bringing medical, nutritional and other emergency aid to both combatants and civilian populations in war zones, are some of the things that come to mind. The symbol suggests a humanitarian, non-profit-making image.īut it can also be a profit-making trademark, as for the company Johnson & Johnson (J&J). In the U.S. (Photo: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) During the Russo-Turkish War (1876-78), the Ottoman Empire used a Red Crescent because its government believed that the cross would alienate its Muslim soldiers. The Red Cross on white background was the original protection symbol declared at the 1864 Geneva Convention. In the Courts: Johnson & Johnson vs the American Red Cross ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They'd become increasingly unhappy with the sound of the Signals album, and they were also keen to see how they would work with someone other than Brown. This trip also inspired the song " Countdown", from their previous album Signals.During the tour supporting their previous album, Signals, the members of Rush began by meeting with producer Terry Brown in Miami, calmly informing him that they wanted to move on. The song's title "Red Sector A" comes from the name of a NASA launch area at Kennedy Space Center, where the band watched the first launch of Space Shuttle Columbia on April 12, 1981. I wanted to take a little bit out of being specific and, and just describe the circumstances and try to look at the way people responded to it, and another really important and to me really moving image that I got from a lot of these accounts was that at the end of it, these people of course had been totally isolated from the rest of the world, from their families, from any news at all, and they, in cases that I read, believed that they were the last people surviving. I read a first person account of someone who had survived the whole system of trains and work camps and Bergen-Belsen and all of that (.) through first person accounts from other people who came out at the end of it, always glad to be alive, which again was the essence of grace, grace under pressure is that through all of it, these people never gave up the strong will to survive, through the utmost horror, and total physical privations of all kinds. In a 1984 interview Neil Peart describes writing "Red Sector A": She didn't believe that if there was a society outside the camp how they could allow this to exist, so she believed society was done in." I once asked my mother her first thoughts upon being liberated," Lee says during a phone conversation. Though "Red Sector A," like much of the album from which it comes, is set in a bleak, apocalyptic future, what Lee calls "the psychology" of the song comes directly from a story his mother told him about the day she was liberated. (His father, Morris Weinrib, was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp a few weeks later.) The whole album "Grace Under Pressure," says Lee, who was born Gary Lee Weinrib, "is about being on the brink and having the courage and strength to survive." Lee's mother, Manya (now Mary) Rubenstein, was among the survivors. The seeds for the song were planted nearly 60 years ago in April 1945 when British and Canadian soldiers liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Geddy Lee explained the genesis of the song in an interview: In a rare instance for Rush's music, the track features no bass guitar, with Lee instead completely focusing on synthesizers and vocals. The song was inspired in part by Geddy Lee's mother's accounts of the Holocaust. Lyricist Neil Peart has stated that the detailed imagery in the song intentionally evokes concentration camps of the Holocaust, although he left the lyrics ambiguous enough that they could deal with any similar prison camp scenario. "Red Sector A" first appeared on the band's 1984 album Grace Under Pressure. " Red Sector A" is a song by Rush that provides a first-person account of a nameless protagonist living in an unspecified prison camp setting. ![]() ![]() It’s for the desktop version, but the same general rules apply. You can find out more details about PS1 emulation on Retroarch in our guide. With PS1 and PS2 games, however, you’ll need to find the relevant BIOS files yourself (you can find them online) and put them in the “system” folder of Retroarch on your Android device. BIOS files are pretty much the first thing an emulator looks for when running with a different BIOS file required depending on the global region of the game you’re playing. In fact, if you run into trouble running a game, one of the first things you should do is update the cores.įor the most part, you don’t need to worry about BIOS when running emulators and games because the relevant files are included in the emulators.
