I see that one of my favorite contemporary boogie-woogie pianists got into a little trouble doing his basic shtick - playing the public piano at St. Pancras station in London - because he was, most inconsiderately, not kowtowing to a bunch of Chinese commie tourists, who objected to being filmed (they were milling around in the background). Guess whose side the police took? "Chinese Commies Think They Own British Public Spaces".

I don't have a favorite boogie-woogie pianist, but I've been watching these developments on YouTube and Kavanagh is rightly becoming famous. He's clearly a good musician, but it's his common-sense arguments and willingness not to cave to official pressure that has captured the public's attention. Britain, from whom we inherited our laws, has sunk into a woke dystopia--so much so that I am reluctant to set foot there again. Kavanagh keeps saying "England is a free country," but that really isn't true anymore.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping he inspires people in his pusillanimous country (and maybe in ours too) to find their backbones.
