I have to admit that the idea of watching a movie "with" someone who is actually sitting in their own home in another town seemed a little strange to me, but that is exactly what I just did this evening. Texting each other back and forth about what's going on in the movie. It was...different. But I suppose I'd repeat the experience.

Little black angels
-Earth Kitt


Eartha didn't write the song, but she loved it, a 1930's piece by Mexican singer, songwriter and actor Pedro Infante. It laments how black children were never represented in art, way beyond the time when their inclusion would have been culturally appropriate in the context of their numbers in the so called new world.

Painter born in my land
with a foreign brush
painter who follows the course
of so many old painters
although the virgin is white
paints the little black angels
who also go to heaven
all the good little black angels

painter if you paint with love
why do you despise their color
if you know that in heaven
God loves them too

painter of saints and rooms
if you have soul in your body
why, when you paint your pictures
do you forget the blacks

whenever you paint churches
you paint beautiful angels
but you never remembered
to paint a black angel

Some children see him.JPG

I don't think anyone posted this song during Christmas time. How could we all forget the Beach Boys?

Where did I hear it? A podcast or something. They almost deleted the scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas, in which Linus recites the birth of Jesus from the bible. Also that the song "God Only Knows" almost wasn't released because "too religious", but the Beach Boys fought for it.

In a way I understand. The witch executions in some parts of the world were still ongoing as late as the 1890's, and churches tended conflate Christian faith with a right wing political stance. It was kind of a racket, as we still see in some varieties of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, and freedom was backlashing against hundreds of years of inquisitions in Europe, forced conversions of the natives of this continent, and even further back holy wars.

Still it would be a shame if some things were omitted from modern history.

Re-learn
-Eniko Szilagyi


A beautiful song about relearning everything when you have fallen in love, how to live, how to think, the light patterns under a sunny window, understanding the world in a new way.
