On Bluegrass

What's to be Done Posted on 2020/06/22 by Victor Onrust2020/06/22

 

Remember who you are – The Gibson Brothers

 

Open letter to Bluegrasscountry.org

For about five years I am an ardent listener and fan of Bluegrass, mostly listening to the streaming of bluegrasscountry.org. About 25% of the music is from other genres, like Americana, Traditional European Folk, Blues and Zydeco, mostly sharing the same roots. Some of it not my taste but ok. The main thing is that the music is authentic, acoustic and primarily string instruments. Of course Americana is not acoustic but as it is mostly authentic this is as an exception no problem. Even then with 24/7 there is a lot of time to fill so occasional transgressions as well as intensive reuse of material is understandable. On the side: the last two years this reuse is mostly not explicitly stated and there seems to be no limit to use the same material more than once or twice in a short time (“I haven’t played that in a long time”). This gets irritating. Continue reading →

Another swamp to drain

What's to be Done Posted on 2017/08/12 by Victor Onrust2017/08/12

With the “Google Diversity Memo” controversy it seems like the grab for power from Social Justice Warriors, Diversity Dictators and other snowflakes has arrived at a critical phase. Looking from the other side of the Atlantic I think there is some momentum to start a roll-back. We still have to wait for that in Europe, but on the other hand the situation hasn’t gotten that much out of hand yet, though it’s coming close.

It isn’t hard to see that social science departments and possibly law schools play a big role. Here the “left” has landed after ’68 and was able to oust other points of view, spewing out whole generations of political correct warriors who took over the media, the Democratic Party and subsequently invaded other institutions and companies. This was crowned by the election of Obama as president in 2008. The past years show an attempt to cleanse these departments from the last remnants of rational and realistic thinking about society and culture.

I am not versed in the way the US federal or state government can intervene in the curriculum of social sciences, but I guess some kind of accreditation is necessary. It could be a way to roll back the influence of the loony left to form or reorganize  committees to evaluate the “scientific quality” of these departments and pull their accreditation, possibly annulling previously handed out qualifications and effectively closing them down or forcing them to reorganize drastically.

Of course, as with all draining of swamps, the crocodiles won’t go away without a fight and will use their allies in “justice”-departments and courts to hinder. Unfortunately the stalemate in Congress makes proper lawmaking impossible at this moment but putting up the fight is step one to show what is at stake.

If you still need to be informed, I can recommend The Truth About the Google ‘Diversity’ Memo (I hope it is not pulled).

The Bloody Honor

What's to be Done Posted on 2014/02/17 by Victor Onrust2017/05/27

Banaz sisterBanaz’ sister (still from movie).

Yesterday (Februari 16) I saw Banaz: a love story and attended the discussion of the documentary in “de Balie” (Amsterdam) with creator Deeyah, host Eddy Terstall and the public.

It’s a remarkable and moving documentary about the vicious murder in 2006 by her own family of 20 year old Banaz, daughter of a strictly traditional Kurdish Muslim family escaping Saddam Hussein’s regime and granted asylum in the UK. This murder was arranged by the father and uncle because of the loss of (male) family honor inflicted by her running away from the arranged marriage with a cruel husband and a subsequent love affair with a man of her own choice.
