🎶 Nobody is innocent
It's a sin when you're playing to ignorance
Another one closing your eyes again
So you don't have to see what's happening
Then now, what's going on in these streets?
You can't live by what you see on TV ...🎶

I’m getting a greater appreciation of how Brecht felt when writing ‘An die Nachgeborenen’.

Oh, not spontaneously, that was a long ongoing joke with a linguist friend who would push Brecht at me while I’d wave Auden at her when talking about the thirties.
Now I’m coming round to her view.

I've lost all knowledge of Brecht tbh and I'm disinclined to revisit. Totes wrong of course but he's been filed with Beckett (who I viscerally dislike) in my brain for some reason.
Auden, however, is epic. And disturbingly prescient. Must re-read some soon.

It’s beyond ironic that a modern Brecht might be escaping the US to head for Germany.
Unlike Auden, he brought his darkness with him, rather than dissolving it.

Trudat. Although Germany isn't exactly a safe haven for free speech these days either.

This will probably be worth reading, as a modern "the signs were there if you'd only listened" tale.

you dislike Beckett?! Beyond hope!

Absolute garbage mate, much like most of his contemporaries.
So ner 😂
I do like #TheJazz though. I hope that redeems me to some extent!
