R.I.P. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008)


Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, em russo Александр Исаевич Солженицын, (Kislovodsk, 11 de Dezembro de 1918 — Moscou, 3 de agosto de 2008) foi um romancista, dramaturgo e historiador russo. Suas obras conscientizaram o mundo quanto aos Gulags, hediondo sistema de campos de trabalhos forçados existente na União Soviética. Ele recebeu o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura em 1970, e foi expulso de sua terra natal em 1974.
1) Biografia

1.1) Infância e juventude

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn nasceu em Kislovodsk, pequena cidade do sul da Rússia, na região localizada entre o Mar Negro e o Mar Cáspio, filho póstumo de Isaaky Solzhenitsyn, um oficial do exército czarista, e de sua jovem viúva, Taisia Solzhenitsyna. O seu avô materno havia superado suas origens humildes e adquirido uma grande propriedade na região de Kuban, nos sopés da grande cadeia de montanhas do Cáucaso. Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, Taisia fora estudar em Moscou, onde conhecera seu futuro marido. (Solzhenitsyn relataria vividamente a história de sua família em suas obras "Agosto de 1914" e "A Roda Vermelha".)

Em 1918 Taisia se encontrou grávida, mas pouco depois receberia notícia da morte de seu marido em um acidente de caça. Esse fato, o confisco da propriedade de seu avô pelas novas autoridades comunistas, e a Guerra Civil Russa sendo disputada ao redor, levaram às circunstâncias bastante modestas da infância de Aleksandr. Mais tarde ele diria que sua mãe lutava pela mera sobrevivência, e que os elos de seu pai com o antigo regime tinham que ser mantidos em segredo. O menino exibia conspícuas tendências literárias e científicas, que sua mãe incentivava como bem podia. Esta viria a falecer aos fins de 1939.

Twenty years ago today ...

por Mark Steyn

The New Criterion ^ 4 Nov 2007 Mark Steyn

We are all rockers now. National Review publishes its own chart of the Fifty Greatest Conservative Rock Songs, notwithstanding that most of the honorees are horrified to find themselves on such a hit parade. The National Review countdown of the All-Time Hot 100 Conservative Gangsta Rap Tracks can’t be far away. Even right-wingers want to get with the beat and no-one wants to look like the wallflower who can’t get a chick to dance with him. To argue against rock and roll is now as quaintly irrelevant as arguing for the divine right of kings. It was twen- ty years ago today, sang the Beatles forty years ago today, that Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. Well, it was twenty years ago today—1987—that Professor Bloom taught us the band had nothing to say.

Right-Wings Rocks!

RIGHT-WING ROCKS!
The Right Side of Rock.

O rock era proibido atrás da Cortina de Ferro: discos e fitas eram encontrados apenas no mercado negro e milhares de jovens tentavam sintonizar rádios ocidentais de madrugada. Os dirigentes comunistas sabiam que o rock era um veículo para a voz da liberdade e poderia se tornar um canal perigoso para a revolta contra a experiência coletivista. Por tal razão, trata-se de um verdadeiro contra-senso o fato de muitas bandas defenderem o socialismo, sistema tão contrário ao espírito do rock -- mas não surpreende nem um pouco o fato de essas mesmas bandas serem as que recebem mais destaque da mídia.

Hino da Sérvia




Tradução de Márcio A. Júnior:

Deus Justo, tu nos salvaste, nos momentos de aflição
Guia o barco da nação sérvia, com Tua Poderosa Mão
Ouve agora as nossas preces, e nos livre de todo mal

Deus salve, Deus proteja, a nação da Sérvia.

Nossa união trará vitória, contra o diabo e todo o mal
Ó Senhor, nós te pedimos, unidade pra lutar
Que a Verdade e a Justiça, prevaleçam sem cessar

Deus Salve, Deus proteja, a nação da Sérvia

Ó Senhor, que o povo sérvio, Te louve sem cessar
De nós afasta a Tua ira, cada cidade abençoai
Quando em luta estivermos, Tua vitória triunfará

Deus salve, Deus proteja, a nação da Sérvia

Após as trevas nasce a luz, e a Sérvia renasce
Na mais densa tempestade, a calmaria voltará
Cinco séculos passaram, e Tu sempre nos protegeu

Deus salve, Deus proteja, a nação da Sérvia

O que Mustaine diria a Laerte

Rick Perry claimed in a recent campaign ad that there’s a war on Christianity. As an intelligent, seemingly non-crazy Christian, do you agree with him?
I think there’s enough evidence that shows there is some effort being made toward controlling religion.

Could you give me an example?
It’s pretty clear that they’re taking prayer out of school. It’s been happening for a very long time. The very first schoolbook that was written had God all over it. I collect books and I have some really, really old schoolbooks, and God is mentioned on every single page. They’re taking God out of the schools to dumb us down.

I’m almost positive they’re trying to have the opposite effect.
It’s not just in the schools. There are a lot of people being persecuted for what they believe in. There was that girl who was fired from a Macy’s in Texas because she didn’t let some cross-dressing dude into the woman’s dressing room. Come on! Are you out of your mind, Macy’s?

I think she was transgender, not a cross-dresser.
That’s not my point.

There’s a pretty big difference. And if we want to talk about persecution …
All I know is, if my wife walked in there and some transgender dude in a dress walked out, I would beat his ass.

Her ass.
What?

You mean her ass.
The dude in the dress?

Never mind, let’s awkwardly change the subject. You have firm religious convictions that I assume include a belief in heaven and hell, right?
That’s right.

If a Christian hell exists, isn’t it likely that Elvis Presley is down there?
[Pause.] You’re asking if I think Elvis is in hell?

Or any rock legend. Jim Morrison is probably in hell, right? John Bonham’s in hell. John Lennon, hell. Jimi Hendrix, hell. Dimebag Darrell, hell. Bon Scott is definitely in hell. Doesn’t that depress you a little?
Well, I don’t know where any of those dudes are, because I don’t really know where they were at before they died.

Where they were at spiritually?
Yeah. I know that Jimi Hendrix became a Christian because a friend of mine that recently passed away had known Jimi really well and owned almost every piece of memorabilia you can imagine. He had the psychedelic V and a couple of his strats. He had Hendrix’s prayer mat.

A prayer mat? Like to cushion your knees while you pray?
Yeah. Hendrix used to kneel on it and pray before he went onstage. Towards the end, before he died, he became a Christian. I had no idea.

Before you became a Christian, you dabbled in witchcraft. Or maybe dabbled isn’t the right word.
No, there was no dabbling. I definitely practiced it full-on.

Did you cast any hexes?
Of course. [Laughs.] If you’re not casting hexes, you’re not really doing witchcraft. You’re just reading about it.

Did you have any favorite hexes? Or any hexes that actually worked?
It’s been so long. The whole subject is kind of boring to me.

That’s weird. As somebody with exactly zero experience in hexes, I can’t think of anything less boring.
I did two hexes. One was on a guy who punched me in the back of the head when I wasn’t looking, and the other was on a girl that I wanted to seduce.

And they both worked?
They did. And that’s why I don’t do hexes anymore. And it’s why I don’t do Megadeth songs like “The Conjuring” anymore. The lyrics are basically just a list of instructions from some of the hexes I’ve done.

You’re worried about copycats?
Yeah, I am. I could play the music, it wouldn’t bother me at all. But the lyrics, I don’t know. When I wrote it, I thought it was really cool to put that stuff in there. I didn’t think beyond the end of my nose that other kids were going to hear it and probably take it to heart.

I just Googled the lyrics to “The Conjuring,” and I guess you’re right, it is like a recipe for a hex. I apparently need a candle and a piece of parchment and an eyelash from a black cat and the straw of a broom. This is all accurate?
It is, yeah.

Where do you even go to find the eyelash from a black cat? Amazon, maybe?
I have no clue. I’m not saying everybody would listen to that song and decide to try doing a hex. Maybe out of 100 people, 99 will think it’s stupid, or 99 will think it’s cool but would never do it. But there’s always that one. You know what I mean? I don’t want to be responsible for misleading anyone. It’s hard enough to survive in this world without getting bad ideas from a metal song.

Onde erramos?!

Década de 30: Ele, de terno cinza e chapéu panamá, em frente a vila onde ela mora, canta: "Tu és, divina e graciosa, estátua majestosa! Do amor por Deus esculturada. és formada com o ardor da alma da mais linda flor, de mais ativo olor, que na vida é a preferida pelo beija-flor...."

Década de 40: Ele ajeita seu relógio Pateck Philip na algibeira, escreve para Rádio Nacional e manda oferecer a ela uma linda música: "A deusa da minha rua, tem os olhos onde a lua, costuma se embriagar. Nos seus olhos eu suponho, que o sol num dourado sonho, vai claridade buscar"

Década de 50: Ele pede ao cantor da boate que ofereça a ela a interpretação de uma bela bossa: " Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça. É ela a menina que vem e que passa, no doce balanço a caminho do mar. Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema. O teu balançado É mais que um poema. É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar."

Someone Like You by Adele (Yoko Ono cover)



 A reação da mulher de saia ao fundo é a reação de qualquer pessoa normal à arte avant-garde: primeiro ela coloca a mão em expressão de espanto; passado o susto, trinta segundos depois, ela simplesmente começa a mexer no celular como se não estivesse nem aí para aquela japa maluca...
