I saw the concert on TV last night, the sea
of white faces and the wealthy rock stars singing to them. The
African-Americandoing a Jesus rap with a huge cross projected behind him,
must have had Europeans shaking their heads in dismayover ignorant
Americans, asit was Christianity importing slaves to America,Islamic
Arabskidnapping and exportingthem, that brought original grief to
that continent, andthat continues to this day in various horrific
forms.Thus, the concert seemed to me to be a display of bad
consciences,plus the usual egos andself-promotion. But I did like
Dave Matthews, who at least is, or was,an
African.

".at a time when I am speaking to you about the paradox
of desire -- in the sense that different goods obscure it -- you can hear
outside the awful languageof power. There's no point in asking
whether they are sincere or hypocritical, whether they want peace of
whether they calculate the risks. The dominating impression as such
a moment is that something that may pass for a prescribedgood; information
addresses and captures impotent crowds to whom it is poured forth like a
liquor that leaves them dazed as they move toward the slaughter house.
One might even ask if one would allow the cataclysm to occur without first
givingfree reign to this hubbub of voices"
