Zitat des Tages über Entlassen / Dismiss:

Before Charlottesville, it might have been easy to dismiss the plot of 'Mudbound' as no longer relevant. Now, I feel like audiences will be more receptive to the material - and to interrogating their personal histories after watching it.
Over the years, there's been some cases where people did come up who said they were healed, but really they were not healed. I do believe it's possible for individuals to mentally convince themselves they are, but that does not deny the real healings. That doesn't dismiss the fact that a lot of people are really cured.

The hard left labels anyone who challenges it 'divisive.' The leftists live in a world where everyone is free to look different but must think the same. I don't play their game. I threaten them and their narrative. That's why they slap the 'divisive' label and attempt to dismiss me. It's not going to work - not on me.

In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.
