Nici nu mai tin minte de la ce varsta am inceput sa caut informatii despre U2 si despre turneele lor, cautand cu sufletul la gura “Bucharest”-ul pe harta lor. Probabil asta voi face si luna viitoare, cand se asteapta un anunt oficial al turneului Horizon de anul acesta, in care isi vor promova albumul ce urmeaza sa fie lansat pe 3 martie – “No Line On The Horizon”. Pana atunci, celor defavorizati ca mine care nu au reusit sa obtina experienta unui concert U2 pe meleaguri straine, le recomand vizionarea “rockumentarului” U2 3D, o mostra excelenta de cantare din cadrul turneului trecut, Vertigo. Cica ar fi un colaj intre mai multe concerte sustinute in America de Sud, dar eu, sincer, nu am observat vreo trecere dintr-un loc in altul, probabil eram prea absorbita de ecranele pe care se desfasurau Drepturile Omului, de strigatele, vocea si prezenta (ca sa nu zic aura) lui Bono, de comuniunea celor 4 membri cu publicul extaziat, de luminile si scenografia care ii puneau in valoare atat cat sa-ti zici in repetate randuri “whoaaa…”. Si montajul, si cadrele foarte apropiate, si sunetul impecabil al inregistrarii chiar iti dau fiorii unei experiente reale. Si daca nu esti mare fan U2, vazand acest preview al unui concert, care pare modul lor cel mai sincer de a se exprima in fata oamenilor si de a incerca sa-i bucure, sa-i energizeze, sa-i imbuneze, sa-i umple de dragoste si de responsabilitate, iti poti schimba perspectiva asupra muzicii lor.
Puteti viziona acest film la Light Cinemas (in cadrul Liberty Center) pana pe 5 martie; platiti 18 lei (daca sunteti studenti) si vi se dau ochelarii ce va vor purta in arena U2 timp de o ora si jumatate.

Albă ca Zăpada – Fructificarea prin dans
Angelin Preljocaj si compania sa de dans prezintă azi, la ora 17.00, pentru a treia zi consecutiv, spectacolul Albă ca Zăpada, pe care eu l-am văzut aseară. Este un spectacol superb. Divers, fantastic, păstrează inocenţa basmului dar reuşeşte să aducă în prim-plan şi problematici ale femeii moderne. Dansatorii-actori reuşesc să empatizeze cu personajele interpretate prin fiecare contracţie a muşchilor, iar expresivitatea lor (datorată, in primul rând, mişcărilor specifice baletului contemporan, care lasă imaginaţia să modeleze corpul uman) te umple de poveste. Muzica lui Gustav Mahler favorizează dinamismul spectacolului şi oferă libertatea alegerii între interpretarea clasică şi una nouă, originală (aici interpretare referindu-se atat la dansul artistilor, cat si la semnificatiile extrase de public). O Albă ca Zăpada diafană, o împărăteasă narcisistă, două pisici alunecoase, malefice, un prinţ care o invie pe Albă ca Zăpada prin dans, 7 pitici căţărători, jucăuşi. Idei regizorale şi coregrafice de mare efect.
Cel mai frumos balet văzut de mine, până acum.
Azi, ora 17.00, Sala Mare a TNB. Încercaţi-vă norocul cu carnetele de student, cine ştie 
The Midnight Tune
Listening to Radio Guerrilla at midnight can enrich your musical tunes and give the kind of atmosphere that you would seek at the end of a crowded, noisy, at times suffocating day. Before falling asleep is the time when your mind tells you what information and feelings were the strongest during that day. And you hear parts of conversations. And you see yourself as a tiny spot in the great picture. And you look for something calm to hold on to, something safe to bring you to sleep.
This is a cover of John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” made by Jerry Williams in 1984 (hmm…cute coincidence with Orwell’s novel).
Working Class Hero – Jerry Williams
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool,
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free,
But you’re still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There’s room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
Perspectives on me

Quod erat demonstrandum
The following video is a documentary called ZEITGEIST [German : Zeit, time (from Middle High German zt, from Old High German; see d- in Indo-European roots) + Geist, spirit; the spirit of the time; the taste and outlook characteristic of a period or generation]. It is made by Peter Joseph in 2007 and it releases three conspiracy theories regarding Christianity, the 9/11 attacks and the Federal Reserve Bank.
Of all, I was most interested in the first topic, presented from minute 04.50 to minute 37. With my Kernbach Dictionary of General Mythology, I’ve watched the demonstration step by step and I find it accurate. Now I’m not saying that this IS the truth, because each person is entitled to believe in whatever theory he desires, but it is always important to KNOW the various perspectives on the matter.
If you haven’t seen it, spare at least 30 minutes, I think it’s worth it.
