the entertainment ‘business’

this is a comment i wrote on the below podcast

thank you david hanna aideen daniel and jack for this wonderful show…. i woke this morning at 6am thinking about the show and why i was still so impressed by it, was it just that i find aideen and hanna so attractive or was there something else… entertainment, a performer entertaining an audience, is to me very influenced by patriarchy, top down authority that seeks to lord over all with the excuse that some god has given ‘man’ dominion over the earth

‘And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. genesis 1:26-28 king james version’  

creepy

so royalty can now justify its control over their subjects, governments over their citizens, priests over their congregations, teachers over their students, employers over their employees and so on and so forth. We’re all messed up in the head. In order to shore up its very shaky foundations the entertainment business is highly controlled and manipulated… there has been control over the channels, movies transporting us to fantasy, the performers presented with endless hype. i have followed davids comedy with great gratitude, from the street to the studio to the national airways and now to his home. There is a progression here and one that inspires me, for although the entertainment business is highly controlled i feel its losing its grip, it’s hard to continually hold the ball down in the water, nature which ‘man’ seeks to control, is uncontrollable, it is the one calling shots and the arms will get tired and the ball will rise to the surface again, the talent, music and humour of our performers are discovering new ways to shine. Humanity has been inebriated, intoxicated and addicted to patriarchal perversion….. but it is changing and the internet is fueling the change, the minions, the subjects have the mic and the camera now and we are sharing our gifts like never before

in short what i see evolving is that authority is shifting to community, fantasy to reality, hype to truth, noise to music and this podcast is a shining example of this change. Thank you all for coming together to share your gifts and talent and your truth. Inspiring, horrAAAAyyyyyy 🙂

Side note: i skipped the conversation on chris rock because i feel that that slap may have been staged and for me merits no more attention at present
