Q: What's the origin of the name "Durutti Column" ?
A: Also discussed in the Sex & Death CD-ROM reviews and Sonora &
The Wire articles, but this from the Record Collector article:
It's worth mentioning at this stage the origin of the Durutti Column
name. On one hand, it derives from the struggle of revolutionary
anarchist Buenaventura Durruti to liberate Spain during the bloody
civil war of the 1930s. A legendary assassin and terrorist, he
fuelled a libertarian communist movement with lofty ideals and
eventually led a formidable column of 6,000 men towards Saragossa
during the summer of 1936. His aim was to liberate the city, defeat
Fascism and declare a free commune but his plan failed when the
column became entrenched just outside the city. Later he was
persuaded to go to Madrid with his men and take on Franco's Moroccan
militia. During this escapade he was shot in the back.
The second source for the title comes from the activities of the
Situationists Internationale in Strasbourg in 1966. In a grand
gesture of anarchism they papered the walls of the city with a comic
strip titled "The Return of the Durutti Column". (Note the change
of spelling of Durruti's name). Vini Reilly explains: "I was
always interested in the Situationists Internationale -- an
anarchist group in Europe who published a book with a sandpaper
cover so that it would destroy all the other books on the shelves.
In the Sixties they were very radical and through their slogans,
criticisms and ideas, wanted to change something. They used the
title 'the Return of the Durutti Column' many times in their
manifestos. So you can see that I saw the production of a very
tranquil music in 1979 as an anarchic gesture!"
