In a world where dreamers know only nightmares... One post stands between life and perpetual night...
The first time... it was silly...
The second time it was good...
Next time...it could be art...
In a world where the jokers are destroying so much that's good, could we maybe spend a few minutes next Monday to celebrate a particular work of art; a film or a novel, a song, poem, sculpture or play that exemplifies something or other that we stand for, rather than blog against?
Thanks to the Internet even a link to - for example - the last battle scene of Zulu [hooray!], or the Amazon reviews of The 300, or reprint If or something else that upholds or demonstrates or even alludes to something we are actually in favour of, such as freedom or country or marriage or faith or courage.
So who's up to contribute one post in a week's time to celebrate something that's good and great in entertainment, art and culture; for example to compile a schedule for freedom's film festival, or to suggest titles for the fiction section of liberty's library, or a day's television to make Polly Toynbee cringe and Osama bin Laden weep in horror? Or just to highlight one particular beautiful, good and true work of grace and inspiration?
I suggest that we include works of fiction only, or fictionalized accounts of real events if you will.
Coming soon to a blog near you...
Culture Wars I : The Culture.
I'll be very happy to advertise and eventually link to people's' contributions as soon as I can on Sunday night/Monday.
If you want to apread the word, please link to this very post.
Please feel free to email me when you've posted and I'll do a post linking to each contribution.
For ease's sake, please include #culturewarstheculture as a tag for those who just can't wait for such a list.
Part Two is here. and we now have:
One serious Edgar, .
a half or a maybe Subrosa …
.an iterested Julia – but will she bite? ..
..a definite Goodnight Vienna who’s playing Monteverdi’s L'Orfeo over at his place and is therefore way ahead of the game…
..and the bells are ringing for Pavlov’s cat – it must be supper time in PC’s world..
…and hot off the press today [Wednesday 5th August] we have the Tanzanian Tabby Tabulator with a purring maybe!
