Looks like there won't be much need for mopping up after tonight's Grand Opening.

This Juke Joint is about as pathetic as my Birthdays in Montello.

Better luck next week.

[*CountessA*]

The rudest bit of opera I've ever listened to comes from Prokofiev's "Lady McBeth of Mtsensk District". You can hear exactly what is going on.

The most insanely difficult aria I've ever listened to (and performed) in opera comes from "Ariadne auf Naxos", the convoluted and extraordinary aria sung by the cool little flirt Zerbinetta.

The most boring opera I've ever listened to is (in my opinion) "Martha", by Flotow. There's only one 'famous' aria in that opera, and the unfortunate heroine has to sing it over... and over... and over again.

The most humane opera I've ever listened to is possibly "Die Entführung aus dem Seraglio" by Mozart. But then everything Mozart composed is pretty close to perfection... and when it's not perfect, it still sounds like it.

And opera is completely off-topic on this thread. Hence it is on-topic.

[*smee*]

no Countess it was off topic because it is  a Friday night off topic thread ... so you're off topic post wasnt on topic cause you posted on Saturday morning so you are off topic ... so off to the Sin Bin you go !

[misha]

I'd prefer to have a solar hot water heater on the roof... after the sheets have been replaced.

It's 9:45pm here, and thats what matters, so half of this post is 'on topic' being about the thread title ... "Friday.."   

Oh.... says "no rules". 
No argument then.

Don't you think?

[*CountessA*]

If I go, I won't go alone...

[**cupie**]

no Countess it was off topic because it is  a Friday night off topic thread ... so you're off topic post wasnt on topic cause you posted on Saturday morning so you are off topic ... so off to the Sin Bin you go !

And now, it's the Saturday Off topic thread, so she's safe - a get out of jail free card has been issued....*wink*

[*CountessA*]

Good, because the other inmates would find being sung at in full operatic volume would NOT be conducive to the safety of their eardrums!

[**cupie**]

See...I saved ya's all from Operatic induced deafness....thank me later...it's Saturday and the sun is actually SHINING !!!!  Yippeee..

[*CountessA*]

Shining here too. It's a GORGEOUS day. It looks as though Michelangelo has painted the sky with the tender blue of a dove's eye. It has a Madonna-like tranquillity and soft radiance. I wish I were outside instead of stuck indoors WORKING.

Paul Robeson

[**cupie**]

Busy guy........

Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson (April 9, 1898 – January 23, 1976) was an internationally renowned American basso profundo concert singer, scholar, actor of film and stage, All-American and professional athlete, writer, multi-lingual orator and lawyer who was also noted for his wide-ranging social justice activism. A forerunner of the civil rights movement, Robeson was a trade union activist, peace activist, Phi Beta Kappa Society laureate, and a recipient of the Spingarn Medal and Lenin Peace Prize. Robeson achieved worldwide fame during his life for his artistic accomplishments, and his outspoken, radical beliefs which largely clashed with the colonial powers of Western Europe and the Jim Crow climate of pre-civil rights America thus becoming a prime target during the McCarthy era.Despite being one of the most internationally famous cultural figures of the first half of the 20th century, persecution by the US government and media virtually erased Robeson from mainstream culture and subsequent interpretations of American history, including civil rights and black history.

Paul Robeson was the first major concert star to popularize the performance of Negro spirituals and was the first black actor of the 20th century to portray Shakespeare's Othello on Broadway. As of 2009 Robeson's run in the 1943–45 Othello production still holds the record for the longest running Shakespeare play on Broadway. In line with Robeson's vocal dissatisfaction with movie stereotypes, his roles in both the American and British film industries were some of the first parts ever created that displayed dignity and respect for the African American film actor, paving the way for Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte.

At the height of his fame, Paul Robeson decided to become a primarily political artist, speaking out against fascism and racism in the U.S. and abroad as the United States Government and many Western European powers, failed post-World War II to end racial segregation and guarantee civil rights for people of color. Robeson thus became a prime target of the Red Scare during the late 1940s through to the late 1950s. His passport was revoked from 1950 to 1958 under the McCarran Act and he was under surveillance by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency and by British MI5 for well over three decades until his death in 1976.

The reasoning behind his persecution centered not only on his beliefs in socialism and friendship with the Soviet peoples but also his tireless work towards the liberation of the colonial peoples of Africa, the Caribbean and Asia, his support of the International Brigades, his efforts to push for anti-lynching legislation and the integration of major league baseball among many other causes that challenged world wide white supremacy. Condemnation of Robeson and his beliefs came swiftly from both the United States Congress and many mainstream black organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP).

To this day, Paul Robeson's FBI file is one of the largest of any entertainer ever investigated by the United States Intelligence Community, requiring its own internal index and unique status of health file.

There is also documented evidence from the files released under the Freedom of Information Act that Paul Robeson was drugged under the CIA's clandestine MKULTRA program and subsequently subjected to unnecessary levels of electroconvulsive therapy while under private care in Great Britain as a means to keep him from influencing the U.S. civil rights movement and worldwide anti-imperialist movements during the 1960s.

Despite persecution and limited activity resulting from ailing health in his later years, Paul Robeson remained, throughout his life, committed to socialism and anti-colonialism as a means to world peace and was unapologetic about his political views. Present day advocates and historians of Paul Robeson's legacy have worked successfully to restore his name to many history books and sports records, while honoring his memory globally with posthumous awards and recognitions.]

What a guy !!!!

The Man Himself !!

[misha]

A true champion ... who never in his life called himself 'A Communist'.
He was a socialist... big difference.

This is the only copy in Australia of this extremely rare picture disc made for the 1949 Paris Peace Conference at which Paul spoke and stuck it right into American society for treating his people so badly for so long.
Art work by Picasso... donated for this production - The Peace Dove.

I also have an autographed 78rpm shellac record album of his.
