  • Gaddafi the Opera

    Here's the link. Basically, the English National Opera is planning on doing an opera on the Libyan dictator of all people to an Asian beat and rap music. They even compared it to Jesus Christ Superstar. Definitely one of the strangest things I've heard in a while.
    "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
    "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

    This goes near top of odd ideas. Reminds me of the movie The Producers.
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

      This is almost as odd as Stalin writing a paper on linguistics.

        I'd like to see it. It must be interesting. Whatever You think about Qaddafi, he's one of the most interesting rulers of Arab world.

          I shouldn't be surprised the response here was so underwhelming. Not many opera fans I guess. A Stalin opera sounds like an interesting idea.

            The Green Book, Section 1, Chapter 7. Muammer Qhaddafi


            "Law is the other problem parallel to
            the problem of the instrument of gov-
            erning. It has not yet been solved in the
            modern age although it has been
            solved at certain periods of history.
            It is invalid and undemocratic for a
            committee or a parliament to be enti-
            tled to draft the law for the society. It is
            also invalid and undemocratic for an
            individual, a committee or a parlia-
            ment to amend or abrogate the law of
            the society.
            What, then, is the law of the society?
            Who drafts it and what is its import-
            ance to democracy?
            The natural law of any society is
            either tradition (custom) or religion.
            Any other attempt to draft law for any
            society, outside these two sources, is
            invalid and illogical. Constitutions are
            not the law of the society. A constitu-
            tion is a basic man-made law."
            "A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

              You have a copy of the Green Book?!? That's not common.
