Music from the 1940s

October 10th 2006 07:17
is evocative (music as cultural artifact), comes to us charged with nostalgia, with the values of a certain era, with the gross contrast against brutality of war.

No text, musical or otherwise, can remain uncharged by the weight of history. The texts will read differently day by day.

We know the innocence of these times will never come again.

Ah, yes...the roaring 40's, when everything still had a sense of mystique and sensuality...and music still left something to the imagination. Shame that the best we can do these days is The Pussycat Dolls shoving their half naked...ahem, assets...into a camera.

Haven't actually seen them in action, but it's strange to think of how such video clips, also, will be coloured by time, viewed against, interpreted according to, the symbols, events, of the late 20th century...
