Great guitar playing is an end in itself; an artist like the deceased Duane Allman doesn't have to have a message in his music. Being a great blues guitar artist is enough. Duane may you rest in peace. Duane Allman was killed in a head on motorcycle accident in 1971.
That same year earlier in 1971 Duane Allman and the Allman brothers band played a concert in the Syrian Mosque a music theatre in Pittsburgh Pa.
Duane was a superlative guitar player, one of the few bests of all time. Duane revitalized the music of Derek and the Dominoes; Duane Allman and Eric Clapton may be the best guitar playing duo ever on the Layla album.
Now Duane is dead and we don't expect him to have a message in his music. But, if Duane did have a political message in his music, and if Duane Allman did want to play again at the Syrian mosque in Pittsburgh, Pa, and if he did find out that in 1991 the music theatre, the Pittsburgh Pa Syrian Mosque had been torn down and made into a parking lot, then Duane Allman if he was to want to play "Lend Me a Dime" again or "Why does love have to be so sad" might have to go to the real county of Syria right here and now to play.
If he did want to go to war torn Syria to play, right now even though he was dead, Duane Allman might say" Stop the war in Syria today'.
- Great deceased guitar Duane Allman player says " Stop the war in Syria today" Duane says to the soldiers fighting in Syria " I've been Run down, I've been lied to;
