Bookwomble
A Clockwork Orange | Anthony Burgess
post image

My posts have been sadly deficient of David Bowie for too long! 😄

Driving to work on Tuesday, I was amused when David came on my playlist singing the line:
💬 Where the fuck did Monday go?
#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude #BooksAndBowie #BooksAndMusic
🎙️ David Bowie 🧑🏼‍🎤
🎵 Girl Loves Me
💿 Blackstar
📽️https://youtu.be/BFD4BMlka9Q?si=1lAX2Ne3LwH-4Tio

Bookwomble David's final album has several references to his back catalogue, and Girl Love Me expands on his use of Burgess's nadsat slang on Ziggy Stardust, with some polari thrown in for good measure. A dark, unsettling and catchy track 🖤 (edited) 1w

TieDyeDude That lyric video did not help me understand the song at all, but I like the moody vibe 7d
Bookwomble @TieDyeDude No! 😆 Nadsat is Burgess's invented slang for Alex and his droogs in A Clockwork Orange, and polari is a working class cant developed to baffle the police, later adopted by the UK gay community before the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the late '60s. (Sorry for the TED Talk!) The Genius lyrics site has translations 😊 https://genius.com/David-bowie-girl-loves-me-lyrics 7d
TieDyeDude @Bookwomble Wow, that is so cool. I'll definitely be digging into that soon 7d

The soundtrack of the tagged play was released in 1970 and my dad bought the album. I was 11. Somewhere in the mid 60‘s my mother became a Seventh Day Adventist and our household drastically changed. Listening to this album constantly was an act of rebellion. She HATED it. This clip popped up on IG yesterday so I thought why not share here. I still know all the words.

@TieDyeDude

Suet624 I‘m with you. I know pretty much every word of this play. 2w
Ruthiella I am an atheist and I love this musical. Particularly the film version with Carl Anderson as Judas. What a performance ! 👏👏👏 1w
quietjenn Such a favorite! 1w
TieDyeDude My mom had the soundtrack on vinyl and CD. We didn't have to rebel to listen to it, but it's awesome that you did 😁 7d

Falsettos | James Lapine, William Finn
post image

This is not book-related (although his musical Falsettos won Best Book at the 1992 Tonys!) but I had to take a moment to mourn William Finn, one of the greatest musical theatre composers to ever do it. If you're a theatre kid, join me in listening to Falsettos, A New Brain, Spelling Bee, and Elegies on repeat today. If you're not a theatre kid, can I interest you in discovering some damn good music and poignant stories? #SeeMoreTheatre

I think I need to clarify that I‘m a retired #longtimefed and not a current employee. I‘m writing these posts because I‘m angry and insulted that feds are being thrown so unceremoniously under the bus. Again. Sadly, this isn‘t new. It‘s just fed bashing on steroids…or ketamine.

Since Social Security is part of my pension BY LAW, I guess that makes me part of the “parasite class” now. I just want to sit under my own vine and fig tree.

kspenmoll I will be a “parasite” as well when I retire in 2 years. SS is a worry….figs! (edited) 2mo
Suet624 Parasite here too. I worked so hard for years. I‘m so mad at these monsters. 👊🏻 2mo
