"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks. Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
Thanks. It pleases me that you share my enthusiasm for that. I've probably watched it 25 times. I find it strangely very, very moving. Their other work is also incredible.
In these times where the world and its never-before-seen stupidities press in, music that comes out of the recognition by others before us of man's frailty and sinful nature is soothing to this agnostic. Would that it were otherwise with me but if someone were to observe that perhaps I'm being backed into a corner I would have to smile.
