Q
ENTAURI IS
THAT VAN BEETHOVEN, CHUCK BERRY AND THE PYGMY INITIATION SONG ARE OF EQUAL MERIT,
whereas wolf howls belong to an altogether different category?! Socialists will probably agree with the liberals
that the wolf's experience is of little value!? But their attitude towards the three human experiences will be
quite different! A socialist true-believer will explain that the real value of music depends not on the
experiences of the of the individual listener, but on the impact it has on the experiences of other people ànd
of society as a whole? As Mao said, 'There is no such thing as art for (f)art's sake, art stands above classes,
art that is detached from or independent of politics!' So when evaluating the musical experiences, socialists
will focus, for example, on the fact that Ludwig wrote his Fifth Symphony for an audience of upper-class white
Europeans exactly when Europe was about to embark on its conquest of Africa. The Fifth symphony reflected the
Enlightenment ideals, which glorified the upper-class white men and justified the conquest of Africa as 'the
White Man's burden'?! Rock & roll - the socialists will say - was pioneered by downtrodden African-American
musicians who drew inspiration from genres like blues, jazz & gospel. However, in the 1950s & 1960s Rock &
Roll was hijacked by mainstream white America & pressed into the obedient service of constant consumerism,
American imperialism & Coca-Colonialism! Rock & roll was totally commercialized & appropriated by privileged
white teenagers in a petit-bourgeois fantasy of blue jeans and haircuts of fucked up pretended age-rebellion...
Chuck Berry himself bowed to the dictates of the capitalist juggernaut. While he originally sang about 'a very
COLOURED boy named Johnny B. Goode', under pressure from white-owned radio stations Berry changed
the lyrics to 'a COUNTRY boy named Johnny B. Goode'! Hence THE Dutch pirates of Northsea Veronica et
