Robbie Robertson (1943 - 2023) - In memory of Robbie Robertson, a cherished soul who touched our hearts. Your spirit will forever illuminate our lives, dear friend. Rest in eternal peace.
The children of legendary guitarist Robbie Robertson, frontman and songwriter for The Band, have filed a lawsuit against their late father's widow, Janet Zuccarini. The lawsuit centers on allegations of financial elder abuse and attempts to manipulate the terms of Robertson's estate. Let's delve deeper into the details of the lawsuit, the accusations against Zuccarini, and the potential impact on Robertson's legacy. Robbie Robertson Sue Widow A Family Divided: The Lawsuit's Core Allegations The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, accuses Zuccarini of exploiting Robbie Robertson's declining health and mental capacity to gain financial advantage. Here's a breakdown of the key allegations: Coercive Property Purchase: The lawsuit claims Zuccarini pressured Robertson into purchasing a $6 million mansion in Beverly Hills, with Robertson contributing the entire down payment despite the agreement outlining equal ownership and shared expenses. Questionable Prenuptial Agreement: The timing of the prenuptial agreement raises suspicion. The lawsuit alleges Zuccarini had Robertson sign the prenup shortly after his cancer returned and his health deteriorated significantly, questioning his ability to fully understand the document's implications. Financial Exploitation: The lawsuit details expenses incurred by Zuccarini for renovations and furnishings at the Beverly Hills home, totaling over $179,000. These expenses are seen as further evidence of financial exploitation. **Manipulating Inheritance: **The lawsuit alleges Zuccarini made claims to a significant portion of the estate, threatening to disrupt previously agreed-upon inheritance plans for Robertson's children. A Timeline of Events: From Beverly Hills Mansion to Legal Battle The lawsuit paints a picture of a series of events that ultimately led to the legal battle: 2023: Zuccarini allegedly convinces Robertson to buy a $6 million mansion in Beverly Hills, with Robertson financing the entire down payment despite a supposed agreement for shared ownership and expenses. Spring 2023: With Robertson's health declining, Zuccarini reportedly has him sign a prenuptial agreement. The lawsuit casts doubt on Robertson's ability to comprehend the document due to his deteriorating health. August 2023: Sadly, Robbie Robertson passes away. Following Robertson's Death: Zuccarini's legal team reportedly makes demands on the estate, seeking ongoing financial support from the trust and potentially a larger share of the inheritance. Legal Arguments and Potential Outcomes The lawsuit seeks several key outcomes: Cancellation of Property Agreement: The Robertson children seek to nullify the property agreement amendment that gave Zuccarini ownership rights to the Beverly Hills mansion. Financial Compensation: The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for financial losses allegedly inflicted by Zuccarini's actions. Punitive Damages: The lawsuit seeks punitive damages to deter similar behavior in the future. Zuccarini's legal team has denied the allegations, asserting that the lawsuit is a "meritless fiction" and that Zuccarini was acting by Robbie Robertson's wishes. Impact on Robbie Robertson's Legacy This legal battle casts a shadow over the legacy of Robbie Robertson, a musical giant who co-founded The Band and is considered a pioneer of Americana music. The lawsuit's details raise questions about the final chapter of Robertson's life and potentially tarnish his memory.

Je viens de passer un long moment sur Discogs à regarder les différents macarons de ce disque au fil des ans et des pays. Et à constater également combien la pochette iconique d'Elliott Landy a été conservée partout telle quelle (une seule exception, le Mexique). Comme quoi, la force d'une photo et sa mise en page simple mais efficace, dépasse les clivages culturels. Le groupe apparaît sur la photo comme un simple groupe d'homme qui pourraient revenir des champs, il y,à 50 ans, 80 ans, 100 ans, 150 ans... on ne sait pas. Ils pourraient aussi être des soldats d'une armée du Nord ou du Sud, ayant connu des années de conflits qui se lisent sur leurs visages. Sont-ils encore sur la ligne de front, ont-ils déserté ? On ne saurait le dire. Sont-ils les amis d'un marié revenant de la noce, débraillés et encore un peu ivres ? Allez savoir... Tous ces possibles rendent ce cliché magnétique : on n'en détourne pas les yeux sans avoir tenté de sonder l'énigme.
Et le disque ? Oh, ce disque est simplement l'un de ceux qui reviennent sans cesse sur ma platine, en vinyl, en CD... Un de ces classiques qui vous collent à la peau dès la première écoute, plus encore que "Music From Big Pink", son prédécesseur. Un disque fondateur sur lequel toute l'Americana (que l'on l'appelait pas encore comme ça à l'epoque) repose. Un disque qui fait la synthèse de toutes les musiques traditionnelles du Nord des Amériques. Un disque dont le sillon a généré des graines depuis 50 ans aujourd'hui, peut-être autant que le premier Velvet Underground ou que "Fun House". Un disque terrien comme ces deux-là sont citadins. Campagnard et villageois comme le sang qui coulait encore dans les veines jusqu'à cette génération qui a connu la fin du XXème siècle. Un disque de tourbe, de foin coupé, de bois qui craque dans la cheminée, de whisky de contrebande, de chants d'église et de fête au village.
