Oskar Time

Oscar Time I have been watching Fox news channel which is entertainment more than news with long legged girls arguing and trying to make Trump into an intellectual giant. The legs apart, I sometimes agree the neo-liberal hatred in America is frightening, this fury by the democrats who feel cheated are palpable. This aside the great Oscar time is here, the magnificent plastic people in a room of nervous tension, perfumed sweat and gulped whisky in the locker room. La La Land won a sweet film- no doubt that- will make us forget hunger in Africa, bloody wars and the Palestinian catastrophe I think the power to want it this way to infantilize us encourage the gossip about the film stars, who slowly seem to learn to live with Donald Trump, they know who is running the industry and it is not the beautiful people Hollywood Land

Powerful stuff Oskar. God help America, your country really need some divine support at the moment. But all is not lost - you still have rock n roll, and some great artists and writers.
