Een eeuwigheid geleden is het dat meneer Johnson de wereld een fatsoenlijk stukje muziek schonk. Bijna twintig jaar geleden inmiddels bracht Matt met Dusk zijn laatste fatsoenlijke album uit. Sindsdien heeft hij een rare plaat met Hank Williams-covers gemaakt en in 2000 een zeldzaam duister werkje genaamd The Naked Self het licht doen zien. Tegenwoordig houdt de man zich godbetert bezig met het maken van filmmuziek!\u00a0 Het ultieme teken van een volledige creatieve creatieve burn-out!<\/p>\n<p>Is dat jammer? Ja, dat is jammer.\u00a0 The The was namelijk het grootste muzikale genie uit het Thatcher-Tijdperk.\u00a0 Grote woorden! Zeker, als je bedenkt dat Matt eigenlijk maar vier fatsoenlijke platen heeft gemaakt: Soul Mining, Infected, Mind Bomb en Dusk. Die platen bieden echter een rijkdom aan muzikaal vernuft, knappe songstructuren, vernieuwend gebruik van de synthesizer en zelfs virtuositeit (met Rachmaninoff-achtige pianosolo). Wat de nummers echter net dat beetje meer geeft, is de wanhopige stem van Matt die zingt over al die dingen die het leven zo\u2019n verschrikkelijke ervaring \u00a0maken: existenti\u00eble angst, zelftwijfel, haat en frustratie, tegenslag en vertwijfeling.\u00a0 Zelfs een Morrissey, een Cobain of een Lennon hebben hun zieleroerselen niet zo onbeschaamd durven uitventen als deze zoon van een kroegbaas uit de East-End. \u00a0Maar het is ook weer niet allemaal\u00a0 RIAGG-problematiek wat de klok slaat.\u00a0 Matt heeft namelijk in 1989 al door, op een moment dat Wilders nog in een kibboets aan het blowen was, dat de Islam het grote nieuwe gevaar wordt. Luister Mind Bomb er maar op na.<\/p>\n<p>Verplichte kost dus, de muziek van The The. Wegens podiumangst (het zal eens niet) heeft hij weinig opgetreden en ik vrees dat het er ook niet meer van zal komen. Op zijn website valt te lezen dat Matt namelijk een nieuwe hobby heeft gevonden in het hardnekkig geloven in de meest waanzinnige complottheorie\u00ebn van ene Paul Craig Roberts. Snap je het even niet meer met die Arabische Lente, de opkomst van China, de eurocrisis of de verkiezingen in Amerika? Lees de door Matt op zijn website geplaatste artikelen van deze Roberts (die ooit adviseur\u00a0 van Reagan schijnt te zijn).<\/p>\n<p>Matt zong het al op Dusk: everybody knows what is going wrong with in the world\/ I don\u2019t even know what is going on in myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Het is al weer enige tijd geleden dat we wat vernamen van Matt Johnson, alias The The.\u00a0 Wat zeg ik?
