Rock 'n' roll legend Rick Davies, co-founder of the iconic band Supertramp, has succumbed to death. A movement is stirring among fans to revive the band's iconic track "Breakfast in America" in his honor.
In 1979, the English band Supertramp released their iconic album, "Breakfast in America". The record, which sold an impressive 20 million copies worldwide, found a special place in the hearts of many French teenagers, with few rooms lacking the album.
The cover of "Breakfast in America" sets the tone for the album's depiction of America, a land of possibilities. The scene is viewed from an airplane, with the New York skyline replaced by white dishes, egg boxes, and large cartons symbolizing the Twin Towers. This imaginative representation is a testament to Supertramp's ambition to present an idealized vision of America.
The large cartons in the scene are a symbolic nod to the resilience and strength of America, with the Twin Towers still standing, despite the transformation. The album's title, "Breakfast in America", further emphasizes this theme, suggesting a fresh start and a new day in this land of opportunities.
The scene is not just a mere depiction of America, but a reflection of Supertramp's aspirations two years after settling in California. The band aims for glory, fortune, and to dominate the pop world, much like the immigrants disembarking at Ellis Island, seeking their own fortunes.
In the scene, a waitress is compared to the Statue of Liberty, carrying a glass of orange juice and a diner menu. This comparison underscores the welcoming and hopeful spirit of America, as embodied by the Statue of Liberty, and the promise of a new beginning that the album encapsulates.
Despite its global success, "Breakfast in America" faced competition in France. Michael Jackson's Thriller and Celine Dion's albums sold more copies than Supertramp's masterpiece. However, the album's sunny and luxurious atmosphere across its ten tracks continues to resonate with listeners, making it a timeless classic.
In conclusion, Supertramp's "Breakfast in America" is more than just an album; it's a symbolic journey through the eyes of the band, offering a unique and idealized vision of America as a land of opportunities.
