7:09 Just more evidence, every day in fact, that liberalism is a mental disorder!

Only the anti-"elitist" left could view a lyric-less composition of beautiful music as elitist, racist, anti-LGBTQRSTUV, etc. I read the piece you posted with incredulity, as it basically said, any music composed by or promoted by (e.g. music auditoriums, etc.) white people, is clearly racist. Furthermore, the left views the fact that those same people incorporated decorum into the equation as doubly problematic. No, TODAY'S left, with all their promotion of debauchery, foul language, coarseness, rudeness, violence, lack of work ethic, lack of morals, group-think, smugness, anti-religious, fervor, destruction, etc......now THAT'S the way to further a "society."

Good lord it must me an awful existence to live in the constant tediousness of the left's ideology! Just when you think there might be a little ray of light, just a little happiness on the horizon, then your hair-trigger "I think I'm supposed to be offended at xyz" alert goes off, and back into the darkness of rage you go!

Yeah, I can see why your ilk would likely be offended by a masterful piece of music like this. It's just too pleasant for your ideology.....and after all, I'll bet Trump listens to music like this, so................

Dumbasses. In his time, Beethoven and his ilk were the rebels and Antifas of their day. See the Romantic movement. Indeed, Napoleon was at first seen as the personification of the Revolution. Dumbasses can't even make the connection between those guilltones they parade in front of Bezos' house today and Danton, Marat, Byron, David, Shelly, Beethoven and the like.

@Kingfish,
It is all colonialist whiteness and has no place in modern society. You need to get woke. They cant be Antifa and have slaves in the Caribbean.

Kingfish said...

Well, dumbass, the Jacobins freed the slaves. One of the first things they did.

@Kingfish,
Was that before or after the Hatians freed themselves?

Funny reaction to the article I posted

The article is written by right wing people people.

The article ascribes elitism to Beethoven and his fans in their time.

I posted it to see how ignorant some of you are and indeed it worked.

One guy got so worked up.....he used big ole words and pitied people who actually think for themselves!

Read and comprehend people.

1:25 First, if this piece was "written by right wing people people," it would be the absolute first one to come out of Vox. Second, I, too, read the article, and like the others, I see it opposite from the way you do. Maybe you should read it again.......

And the larger point

Y’all are reading articles by people you do not know about inane topics which mean zero to anyone alive today.

And you are offended!

Please go mow the yard.....do something because this is stupid

Wow, I click on Beethoven and listen to this fine piece...only to see the stupidest comments. The only things that should cross your mind are: wow, she's hot; thanks, KF for posting; wow, it must've taken a lot of practice; gee, can't wait to get back to live events.

Instead, one or two keyboard warriors have burped out a few hateful sentences with their chicken grease-scented fingers. (This is why MS is last in everything!)

I see a new event for the near future:

"Beethoven Nights, Belhaven lights".

Freeing the slaves absolves them from owning them in the first place,yeah that makes them great.

Kingfish said...

11:24: Go read the history. The whole episode took place over several years and was more than just one event.

Kingfish said...

Just shows your ignorance. Complete and total. There was a revolution for a reason in France. Think Tale of Two Cities was an exaggeration? It wasn't. The people threw off the yoke in France as well. It was a small aristocracy that ruled France. The people rose up and butchered them but that probably isn't woke enough for your ignorant ass.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
