Review of Gimme Shelter (2013) by Brandon M — 09 Jul 2013

Real life will always be more disturbing than any fiction creation, and it is scary to know humanity as a monster when conglomerated in a mass and the irrational capacity people can allow themselves to have. Religious idolatry is a commonly known problem in the history of mankind, but it gets more serious when they can easily submit their souls to a singer and synchronized rock sounds, regardless of how groundbreaking they may be.

It's interesting to point out that the Altamont concert wasn't as famous as Woodstock was immediately around the world, contrary to public claimings. The 60s were a brutal decade of loss of innocence and perhaps there was already enough turmoil for people to endure, and the new goal was to try to make audiences go to sleep every night more easily. Now, decades later the message is still reverberating inside everyone's conscience; it has just to be heard and understood. The problem is that the implications are much more complicated, and the majority of future consequences seldom can be known.

98/100.
