69. Thanks for that!

You educated me as to the source of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I've played the piece by Paul Dukas several times and of course we've all seen the Mickey Mouse cartoon. But I didn't know it was written by Goethe. As a musician, I come by these literary works in another form, music and opera, and often don't know the source of the story. I know Goethe & Schiller wrote the bases for many great musical works, but have not studied German, so I didn't know the backgrounds. Romance languages are my thing. German tends to baffle me even though English is a Germanic language. I took Spanish and Latin in school and that showed me what logical grammar structures and easy to understand verb forms looked like. Any German I picked up, I picked up through music, as in "Heilege Dankegesang"  Beethoven) and "Schicksalied"Brahms). In high school at music camp we played Also Sprach Zarathustra. I wondered why Strauss didn't put his tempo directions in Italian like normal people.
I remember being baffled by "Sehr langsam". Instead of "allegretto" or something I understood. Not to mention that Strauss loved all keys equally so wandered through them all. Or it seemed like it. There are some German words that are essential in English, like "schadenfreude" and "zeitgeist". Every time I see Willie Geist on MSNBC I wonder if he knows he's a ghost. And back on the subject of the Frankenstein monster created by Fox News, I saw editorial cartoons several years ago predicting this exactly. A Frankenstein monster that the powers that be could not control. |

43. Ironically, ARTE TV (a French/German channel here in France) ran a compelling and pertinent,
|
but equally perturbing documentary on the very night of the latest Republican debate/hate-fest.
The resonances were uncanny. Title of the programme? "Mein Kampf, Manifesto of Hate", 
"On 1 January 2016, over 70 years after the death of its author, Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf will fall into the public domain. Should we republish it as the founding document of Nazism? ARTE's documentary explores the issues raised by this sadly infamous work, the focus of so much controversy and fantasy.
The "founding document" of Nazism, written by Aldolf Hilter during his emprisonment after the failed putsch of 1923, is both autobiography and political manifesto. In its more than 700 pages, it exposes the spirit of revenge, the obsessive hatred of Jews and the desire for German expansionism of its author." I was glued to the screen. The historical parallels with the political climate in the US are profoundly disquieting. At the end of the film, one of the German researcher's conclusions just hit me right between the eyes: "What is the most important lesson to be drawn from this catastrophic chapter of European history? That a nation's political life may appear to have a semblance of "normality", but that things can tip over into insanity in the wink of a eye."

I think these idiots keep their mouths shut except when in packs.
I have felt for YEARS that right wing radio has long worked to make people's most hateful thinking seem acceptable to them and absolve them of any need for introspection. Then someone like Trump puts those views right out there where the corporate news can't even dress it up! The other Republicans would prefer a tad more subtle hatred. But some of these fools still want to make chunks of this planet "glow in the dark"! Off topic, but I'm a Kentucky Woman too, born and raised in Paintsville, but I've lived in Lexington since I came down the Parkway to UK in '82. |
