Rewatched The Banshees of Innisherin this week and this exchange was just as gutting as I remember.
Speak for yourself, IāVE BEEN WAITING.
Loved this book. Congrats!
Gotta skip to 2:45, but hell yes. youtu.be/X5eZ9CqLlkc?...
I hadnāt thought about it in that way, but you look at the end of the Wire and . . . yeah. I think so. Bubbles breaks the cycle but heāll always be the exception. Never the rule.
You see it elsewhere too - in Treme, the plan for a national jazz center is doomed from inception because the institution will never let it be - but will always resort to using it to line pockets. Itās not that the politicians are bad actors. Itās about what the system has been designed to do.
Oh, I disagree there. I think heād call the institution irredeemable. Or not even irredeemable - more incapable of better.
I donāt think he puts the blame on bad apples, he puts it on the institution. The institution will always stop good work from happening in order to protect the status quo and its own continued existence. The ratio of bad to good apples is kind of irrelevant.
MICK COLLAPSES. EMTs RUSH THE STAGE āQuick! We have to start him up!!ā (Iām so very sorry.)
So many wonderful suggestions but Iāll note just how damn much I loved the August Wilson biography. Fascinating, detailed, and rich - made me so sad to have not seen any of those amazing productions.
