TinDrumfirst be sure that those who are now starving
get proper helpings when we all start carving
now for once you must try to face the facts
mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

donutage (Bill Cole)Happy birthday to Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper (opened 8/31/1928 at Berlin’s Theater am Schiffbauerdamm)!
"Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts."

~meoralis~#FotoVorschlag: Spitzfindigkeit // hairsplitting, pedantic (expect many pointy things today, because that's "spitz" in German)
Einige Brechtsche Spitzfindigkeiten in #Magdeburg #Fermersleben // A #graffiti discussion about Adorno, #Brecht and how the world is a bad place. The conclusion is a quote from Brecht's Threepenny Opera: "The world is poor and man's a shit"

Fardels BearOne of my heroes, #BertoltBrecht, seated outside the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, where the #ThreePennyOpera was first performed in 1928, later bcoming the post-war home of Brecht's #BerlinerEnsemble. I took the photos in 2019.
Bongolian@Dustin It's a film that fares the test of time quite well due to G. W. Pabst's direction and Bertolt Brecht's writing. Brecht had a largely uncredited influence on another timeless film (Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles) due his development of the concept of "Epic Theater". #bertoltbrecht #gwpabst #ThreepennyOpera #MelBrooks
Dustin Kiyeon Chang#ThreepennyOpera is an incredibly sophisticated & biting satire of the capitalist society where criminals & the law go hand in hand. Even beggars are categorized & commodified. Polly takes over & addresses the board of the bank, "One can rob a bank, or one can use a bank to rob others”. It ends with Peachum declaring allegiance to Mackie & Tiger-Brown. When asked "If the poor are so powerful why do they need us?" Peachum replies. "Because they don't know we need them." Indeed. #GWPabst #musical
Mark GalassiI've been reading parts of Bob Dylan's intriguing book "The Philosophy of Modern Song". He has a section on Bobby Darin (born Walden Cassotto) and claims his performance of Mac the Knife to be excellent. I like Darin, but I think I prefer Ella Fitzgerald's "live in Berlin" performance of it:

And on that topic: who would like to see @amandapalmer cover Mac the Knife?
