Oh are you trying to kill me with Nessun Dorma? That makes me really emotional. :)
Anyway, I enjoyed Living in America too, just for fun.
In my younger (more) stupid daze, I used to diss on Luciano's version of "Nessun Dorma" (preferring Jose Carreras' take). I'm still an idiot, but hopefully a little less so. This is beautiful.
That's quite the progression. Looks like it's time for me to reclaim my headphones...
Loved this post. I had it playing while reading Boudieu. It actually helped. Don't the clips just illustrate: "a rigorous science of art must, pace both the unbelievers and iconoclasts and also the believers"? Thanks for the music!
Anno: I was off on a blues quest (Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker - actually wanted to find Hooker's "Stripped Me Naked"), but stumbled over JB, thought of "It's a Man's World," and then ran into the outrageous JB/Pav duet. Great arrangement.
Teresa: To quote Neil Diamond for the Monkees: Not a trace of doubt in my mind. In between doxa and habitus, I believe Bourdieu co-wrote The Archies smash hit, "Sugar, Sugar." After that debacle, he was right to follow the other path.
Bordieu wrote "Sugar, Sugar"?? No wonder he had to come up with all these zany theories to justify that it IS art...
T: Some have bigger pasts to live down than others. Sociology covers for the misdeeds of many misspent youths, no?
Is that why so many recovering addicts are in the College of Health and Human Services?
I could not imagine and then I listened. Seems like it should be a metaphor for something but what the heck - I'll just listen again and soak it up.
Dee: To my uncultured ears, it seemed that LP was not on top of his game, but JB knocked it out of the park. Van Morrison does a great cover of the song on his A Night in San Francisco album: the arrangement is very similar.
I’m on my way to April, to an excerpt from Galilee, and this caught my eye, the Pavarotti/Brown show, the man’s world. Really neat to see these two unlikelies on stage together. Is that a wary eye Pavarotti casts Brown’s way, not just once? No matter, it was a touching production, a super-touching hug from Pavarotti...
Sister A: I was looking for a vid of Van's "Man's World," which is exquisite, but he was holding out on me. Stumbled across this, blew me mind.
Sara Hickman, from up your Metroplex-way (she may be full-time Austin now), did a good cover sheself.
