Enough already, Bill. Are you Theodorakis's PR man? A bigot and anti-semite needs no further attention.

To be fair a great composer will have his flaws.

My favorite line in King of Comedy:"Well, I made a mistake." "Yeah, so did Hitler!!!!" As to be expected apologists are downplaying his wish for the annihilation of Israel and every Jew in it along with the international conspiracy (something Miklos of course down-pedaled without apologizing) - right along with the wonderful PLO). But as always, there are a bunch of anti-semites whose work I love, among them Richard Wagner and Mel Gibson - whom in the latter's favor never proudly proclaimed "I am an anti-Semite!" I think he was too caught up in that "sugar" moment to do so.

Either report it for abuse and let Ally decide if it’s appropriate on a film music board, or I respectfully suggest you wind your neck in smile

And too good not to share from today's news. This guy was certainly a big fan. "The video showed a portly Guzmán, wearing thick glasses and snapping his fingers as he drunkenly danced to music from the 1960s movie “Zorba the Greek.” It was the first image Peruvians had seen of him since a mugshot taken during a 1978 arrest.'

And some will be worse than others, but because we can’t judge where to draw the line maybe we shouldn’t try to impose one.

Avowed anti-Semitism is a pretty big line in the sand for most people, though I do admit that Zorba tune is pretty catchy. That Peruvian-Stalinist terrorist in the story from above certainly dug it

Check out Theodorakis', "The Mauthausen Trilogy", aka, "The Ballad of Mauthhausen".

Including me, I despise it. Yet millions of Greeks lament his passing. By extension, am I not to show anyone our honeymoon photos taken in Crete?

To be honest i was just linking stuff that came through on my phone, and learning about the man and having my eyes opened about how he was such a huge hero in Greece. But read it, dont read it. I dont give a fuck.

Yes, it's a slippery slope when some here take it upon themselves to decide who we can and can't celebrate and mourn, based on their politics or actions in life.
Where does it start and end?
