Cultural Highlights

[poliphilo]

Following my butterfly post a couple of my friends have sent me links to videos of Paul Weller- in and out of The Jam- singing Butterfly Collector. It was new to me. I don't like the misogyny, but it's the true expression of a true emotion and I don't have to like a song to like it- if you see what I mean. Now I have it as an earworm.

I watched Parasite last night. The theme of wily poor people running rings around complacent rich people is as old as whatever development in human culture gave us the division between rich and poor- (it's the heart and lungs of the commedia d'ell arte for instance)- but not so very many iterations of it end in bloodshed.
