In Reply to: My Bryan Ferry Boys and Girls SACD goes into the trash. posted by Duilawyer on April 15, 2007 at 07:12:17:
Your measures are really saving the world from any further decline of human moral. Compliments! I, however, would advise to be more realistic and less sensitive. Nothing wrong with his music and he (Ferry) did not kill anyone, nor broke any law (as far as i know, except for the drugs you apparently did not care about!!!).In fact, when you de-couple it from their background I would agree about the artistic values of Riefenstahls films and Speers buildings and plans. Speer did get 15 years or so (not the death penalty) after the war, but not for the quality of his buildings but for his HR management.

why do HR bring out the nazi in so many people :)
past our point of return, unfortunately.
Speaking from inside the beltway...it seems to me our "politicians" have become businessman, out for themselves; history does repeat itself I'm afraid and it did end badly!
Mick and Bianca Jagger were photographed by Leni Riefenstahl in the 1970's and Mick stated that he was an admirer of her propaganda film about Hitler-- Triumph of Will. Meanwhile she professed "ignorance" about the Holocaust for many years even though she witnessed and filmed executions in Poland and gypsy concentration camp victims.In that she was not too different from the millions of Germans who claimed thay had no knowledge of the Holocaust, even in towns where the smoke for burning bodies filled that air and trains carrying Jews arrived 24 hours a day.
The absolute adoration that Germans felt for Hitler, as depicted in Leni Riefenstahl's films and in other documentary material of the period is not faked. The ability of Hilter to lead his people to ruin while committing atrocities against millions of Jews, Russians, Poles, Gypsies, and in the end, the German people themselves, while maintaining that adoration, is something I will never understand.
a goodly number of people would say the same about bush & company, i just cannot for the life of me understand the adoration by many people (particularly where i work) for that administration that is, imnsho, running this country into the ground (thats not to say the pelosi and co. are any angels, far from it, how this country will survive its goverment/business/religious pogroms is a mystery to me...)
a bunch of sanctimonious assholes. they are correct, ferry (like the us & uk gov'ts) learned a lot from the nazis, but discretion in crediting your teacher, if not outright denial, is the best course.
