A Knife in the Back (2)

RE: Kolyada.

OK, so, Tolya had a point. Once you publish a blog it is out there -- finis. Done. The world can view your words and judge your thoughts. And then, after consideration, you can respond.

In my first double-posting, I choose not to respond to my Kolyada rant, but to ponder it.

I get the raping of Tennessee -- you destroy the thing most precious to those who value it. I get it. I respect the layering of a political P.O.V. on top of that shattering. Very good - make me squirm, and then make me think. Kolyada ... I'm taking notes.

Streetcar was potent. First, it was hysteric. [REDACTED - I was relying on hearsay, which is not relevant] It was purposefully (I hope) dumb, to abuse our treasured American drama, shitting on our cherished poet before our eyes

And then, your puppets come onstage. The Indian and the Statue of Liberty. Hmmm. Whatever your Indian said at the beginning (I've been asking around, "unrelated nonsense" seems to be the common response), it fell into the hysteric shenangians of Blanche, Stella, and Stanley. Perhaps it was a prelude as to what was to follow?

I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that I didn't like what I saw -- but that doesn't make it bad. Your theatricalized temper tantrum is new to me. I'm used to Lower East Side New York hipsters blathering on about not being able to get free WiFi from the government (or some other bullshit topic -- America is sorely lacking valuable political theater at present). And, while Russia's economy was in trouble before the U.S. wrecked the world, you have a (seemingly) legitimate beef with us -- even if it does seem tacked on (I'm sorry Kolyada, your production seemed like you wanted to make an anti-American rant and were grasping at any straws to do so).

So, maybe you weren't bad -- you were just new? I need to think about you more.
