Here we have an old, old screenshot from a journal entry from Nachtkabarett, circa GAoG. I tried to see if I could find it on the site as it currently is, and could not-but it's possible I just don't know where to look anymore. The site itself no longer looks like this, so I'm glad that I have it as an example of the way Nachtkabarett once looked in other times. But I like it for more than just the context: There is, of course, the appearance of a phrase that would become the title of song in the future. As an artist, I can relate to an idea that circles until it comes to full fruition. But even more so, the political speak. It might have been apt for the time, but it's even more relevant today. The text piece appears in its entirety on Gottfried Helnwein's site, continuing as, --

"Let's make sure all of these offensive forms of entertainment are shown publicly, and burned immediately as a warning to us all!"

In the meantime, try to stay conscious. We are sitting in the EMERGENCY ROOM waiting for the doctor, a newly elected aesthetician, to come and pronounce his diagnosis. The grotesque, malignant cancer that is our expressions and our views is no longer the disease. We are being told that the sounds and images of art are now the symptoms of the creator. We as the artists, are now considered unhealthy and incurable. Let me remind you that the deformed scar of one man, is "love's pretty dimple" to me. The generation that lived through WWII accepted the concept of "total violence" as a solution to the world's problems. The mathematics of creative suffering and the milk of human violence are the formulas that our grandparents bottled and passed down to our parents. These are the "traditional" values that have built "protective," moral walls around our children's world. And it is, indeed, a small world after all.

MM --- As a person now, in 2024, and even more as an artist in 2024, it hits me in the core. We stand at the brink again, at a little less than 100 years.
