American Skin (41 Shots)

«American Skin (41 Shots)» er en sang skrevet av Bruce Springsteen, inspirert av en hendelse da fire politifolk i New York skjøt ned og drepte den ubevæpnede guineiske immigranten Amadou Diallo den 4. februar 1999.

Springsteen framførte sangen første gang på en konsert i Atlanta den 4. juni 2000, den siste konserten før konsertturnens siste 10 framføringer på New Yorks Madison Square Garden hvor han også framførte sangen, til tross for advarsler. Framføring førte til en del strid med politiet i New York og hvor Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA), politiets fagforening, oppfordret til boikott av Springsteens konserter.

Sangen har blitt utgitt på plate, Live in New York City, som konsertfilm, (2001), på samleplaten The Essential Bruce Springsteen (2003) og på studioalbumet High Hopes (2014). På sistnevnte bidrar Tom Morello på gitar. Coverversjoner er utgitt av Svante Karlsson, Jen Chapin & Rosetta Trio og The Gibbons.[1]

Amadou Diallo var ubevæpnet da han ble skutt ned med totalt 41 skudd, slik som det nevnes i sangens tittel. De fire politifolkene som sto bak nedskytningen ble alle frikjent i en rettssak i Albany i New York.[2] Nedskytningen og frikjennelsen opprørte mange. Blant de spørsmål som ble stilt var emner som var sentrale i kontroversen politibrutalitet, rasisme, og kontagiøs skyting.

Diallos død ble en sak under valget på ny borgermester for New York i 2005. Springsteen er ikke den eneste amerikanske musikeren som har tatt opp eller nevnt skyting i sin musikk, men også av blant andre 88-Keys, Aesop Rock, Agnostic Front, Akon, Antipop Consortium, Anthony David, Army of the Pharaohs, Beanie Sigel, Beastie Boys, Big Stan, Blue Scholars, Brother's Keeper, Bunny Wailer, Capone-N-Noreaga, CunninLynguists, Damian Marley, Dead Prez, Elliott Sharp, Erykah Badu, Fabolous, Fredro Starr, Greenhouse Effect, Immortal Technique, Jay-Z, Jen Chapin, Jemeni, J-Live, Kool G Rap, Lauryn Hill, Le Tigre, Leftöver Crack, Mash Out Posse, Merauder, Mike Ladd, Mischief Brew, Mos Def, Nicki Minaj, og andre.
