Giuseppe GuglielmucciMa ora noi diciamo:
visto che così è, così non deve rimanere.
Perché ogni cosa si muove,
amico mio.
MikeDunnAuthorToday In Labor History April 3, 1950: Composer Kurt Weill died. Weill’s most famous song was Mack the Knife ("Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"), which became a schlock classic after Bobby Darin’s rendition. However, Weill wrote the song as part of Bertolt Brecht’s “Three Penny Opera,” which was a socialist critique of the capitalist world. Weill was persecuted by the Nazis for his political views and his Jewish heritage. He fled to America, with his wife, singer Lotte Lenya. Some of Weill’s other well-known songs include: Alabama Song (covered by the Doors), Pirate Jenny (covered by Nina Simone), Mack the Knife (also covered by Louis Armstrong), Der Kleine des Lieben Gottes (covered by John Zorn).

und wie viele bestätigen #BertoltBrecht, indem sie weiterhin denen hinterherlaufen, die sie selbst in den Abgrund führen?

peter honeymanThose who take the meat from the table
Teach contentment.
Those for whom the contribution is destined
Demand sacrifice.
Those who eat their fill speak to the hungry
Of wonderful times to come.
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary men.

The [reality TV show host] speaks of
Great times to come
On the calendar the day is not
Yet shown
Every month, every day
Lies open still. One of those days
Is going to be marked with a cross.
Those at the top say: peace
And war
Are of different substance.
But their peace and their war
Are like wind and storm.
War grows from their peace
Like son from his mother
He bears
Her frightful features.
Their war kills
Whatever their peace
Has left over.
When the leaders speak of peace
The common folk know
That war is coming.
When the leaders curse war
The mobilization order is already written out.
Bertolt Brecht, "A German War Primer"
