World Liberty Concert 1995
~ was a concert that took place on 8 May 1995 next to the John Frost Bridge in Arnhem in the Netherlands. The concert was held in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of Europe and is the largest memorial concert ever held in the Netherlands.
~ The late Walter Cronkite, during the concert, narrated parts of the history during and after the Second World War, in order to illustrate the historical meaning of the concert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Liberty_Concert
I ask the serious question: it's all fine and dandy to be a peacenik hippie in peaceful times.
BUT, does any person in Russia get to vote on the invasion or withdrawl from Ukraine?
does any person in Ukraine get to opt-out or opt-in to the war? Naw, its flee or fight for your survival, because the alternative is Genocide / Slavery / Death.
for my thread contribution, I offer Boy George and Culture Club's 80s sing-along "War War is Stupid; and People are Stupid"
from an era where trannys were "amusing, fun and unusual" but not the modern political thing that's egging-on a socialist/Woke vs Traditionalist civil war.
Turkish pianist/composer Fazil Say wrote a complete orchestral work in 2009 about the inhumanity of war called Nâzım Oratoryosu, which puts music behind the spoken poem "On Living" by Nâzim Hikmet.
The work is 1 hours 49 minutes and features orchestra, choir, solo vocalists, pianist, and spoken voice. To watch that search YT for "FAZIL SAY - NAZIM ORATORYOSU - NAZIM ORATORIO" which has English subtitles. There is a newer recording on DVD too.
