She’s Sean Connery’s daughter-in-law.
It could be seen as the canary in the coalmine, IF artists led society.
The musicians I am thinking of (as a musician myself) are not leaders, nor do they have followers. They are simply reflecting PC thinking, taken to the extreme. They are also of the opinion that it is their job to ‘cram culture down The People’s throats,’ in their superior-ness, rather than to either elevate or serve others.
Think: ‘underpants operas’ — where they have bastardized Mozart by semi-pornographic stage presentations, or ‘modern’ music, that reflects their own Existential Angst. They wonder why attendance is down. Think, even, symphony concerts where they cannot resist, at every concert, to ‘introduce to the (illiterate) masses’ some modern, grating ‘new’ music. It is like cod liver oil poured on a great steak (”It is good for them.”)
Yes, but if you remember the movie, the lesson ended with the statement that the strategy failed and the country sank further into a recession. Which didn’t happen in reality, but the Stein character said it.
