Yeah, I vaguely knew they had some sort of association with Liza Minnelli but wasn't clear on the exact connection. Just saw this video of them performing "Losing My Mind" together www.youtube.com/watch?v=4021...

I mostly know this song through the Pet Shop Boys cover. Never knew that they produced the Liza Minnelli version until I watched this and noticed that the arrangement is identical to the PSB track.

Not sure if you've seen it, but there's a monument to him on Cijin Island in Kaohsiung. (Stumbling on the monument was how I first learned about Maxwell.)

To be frank, I think this is a kind of mysticism or at least a negative image of American exceptionalism. Nations can fundamentally transform within a few generations. The 20th century is a record of this. Institutions and economies can be remade. We are not bound by fate or ghosts or blood or soil.
The issue is that America was founded by and on capital and the right, it’s fundamentally a settler colony founded by the worst humanity had to offer in a bygone age. It’s never existed without capital, and has forever been a bastion of the right. What else can it be?

These are cautionary tales of how a free and open society slips toward unaccountable rule — something our American friends may want to note.
Most of the time, it's not mass arrests. It's not the boot on the neck but slow asphyxiation. It's letting institutions die a "natural" death and never return

When we do the right thing and hold ourselves to high standards, we become better people. It's rewarding even if we fail.
But we will seem ineffective right up until the moment we are not.
