Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

Wagner's work is inextricably tied to his Nazi legacy in Europe and most of North America. Ask who is Hitler's favourite composer and Wagner will invariably be the answer.

Taking that into account, what do you think Coppola was trying to say with that scene? Especially contrasted against the scene in which it was actually in for Wagner's work?

Also Wagner's antisemitism was notable even at the time, and anti-semitism and anticapitalist thinking were often conjoined, ironically with an equal fear of "Jewish socialism" on the other hand. The "Jewish capital" of Wall Street and London and the "Jewish socialism" of urban society (and, well after he was dead, the Soviet Union) was a common theme of writings of the time, which saw them as two false choices pushed by the Jews to undermine nationalism.

Nietzsche also wrote quite extensively in his own work about Wagner's virulent hatred of Jews, whom Nietzsche himself considered some of the best and most cultured people in Europe.

WTF I love the Blues Brothers even more now

  I'd forgotten all about that.

Yeah, that definitely wasn't an accident.

The original quote was from the discord, where I was making fun of the two mods that think they have to run the place like a prison camp.

I know who you mean and they are a bit over the top at times, yeah.

It's the classic example of what happens when you take people who have no agency in their lives and make them mods.

Like Memnoch, only less toxic.

I ran into a cover of "Every breath you take" of The Police, with the guitar and bass lines intact, just the voice work is like a male guy rapping and a female soul (?) chorus accompanying it, and the lyrics got retconned to not be about stalking, it feels really dumb.

Puff Daddy/Faith Evans cover in memory of Biggie's passing. It's alright. Not terrible in that context.

Same. My commentary seemed a bit underwhelming, but that's about as much mental and physical enthusiasm I can muster right now. "Not terrible" is/was a sort of inside joke with my Dad when he was still alive, and still is with my family, and generally doesn't mean terrible or bad at all.

I can't believe it's been over 20 years since that came out.
