Man, thanks for wasting the last 2 hours of my life.
I knew when I saw this there was something wrong....shouldnt have doubted myself.
I recalled that David had been damaged when protestants sacked much of Italy ...specifically it was pushed off its pedestal and the right arm was destroyed... broken into three pieces. Anyway it has taken me at least 2 hours to verify this.
This occured in 1527 in florence (simultaneous to the 'Sack Of Rome'). Other great moments in protestant history at this time include their taking a brief break from raping nuns to ransom the popes 8 year old niece under threat of putting her in a brothel.
All this combined is what historically signifies the end of the Rennaisance....so its almost comical to me that the attempted destruction of Michelangelos David is downplayed as being a result of "one of Florences many street riots".
If you want a good laugh at how educationally screwed up public schools make people go and research this incident on the internet. They do some truly Olympic verbal gymnastics to sugar coat the simple but bitter truth: Catholics created the Rennaisance to drag halfwitted mankind out of the dark ages.....Protestants destroyed it.
Oh and incidentally the one source I found that told the straight story??? P.B.S.
Anyway this photo you posted is not the real David. The real david has a visibly damaged right arm....It was hidden by a guy whose name history recorded (but I did not)until the protestants were too drunk to murder any more and then eventually a crude reattachment was done using metal pins. It was essentially destroyed.
So on that note I'll leave you swelling with Lutheran pride.
I just accidentally saw The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus on georgias PBS station. This was filmed in dec 1968 for BBC but never aired....lost for decades, some hippy girl went around the world to find it and finally located a copy in a trash bag in the Who's vault.
The Lineup: Jethro Tull:...very young but still pure Tull.
The Who: Just off a world tour...the Stones later felt the Who upstaged them. Their ill fated drumer (was it Bonham?)was just incredible.
Marianne Faithful : Looking good ....contributing little.
Taj Mahal: There and sounded good...but had no business on stage with this talent.
A thrown together group comprised of JOHN LENNON, KEITH RICHARDS, ERIC CLAPTON, and Hendrix drummer MITCH MITCHELL who is basically john bonham on speed. They played Yer Blues..... then Yoko Ono crawled out of the black fabric bag she had crawled into during Yer Blues and spent about 4 minutes wailing dissonantly while backed up by Lennon Richards Clapton and Mitchell as well as an idiot with a violin.
Then The Stones took the stage. Jumpin Jack Flash....You cant't Always Get What You Want...A slow obscure blues piece...SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL....and closed the circus at 6am after 24 hours with "sing a song for the common people".
Imagine....RFK was shot in may of 68....this was december when Mick is singing "I shouted out who killed the kennedys.....when after all it was you and me". He caps off this marathon version of Sympathy by taking off his shirt to show massive tatoos of demons and devils on his chest and arms. This may be why BBC never aired it. The guy playing bongos for this marathon was literally covered in sweat....This was footage of the Stones playing their greatest music at their absolute prime. Jimmy Paige wasnt on lead as in the recorded version but Keith covered the lead all most as well as Jimmy would have. Mick clearly owned the whole show.
No decent human being can live without having seen this film.
