Hadd ma jirribella meta jsiru dawn it-tip ta’ kazzati ‘mbad noqodu niffrustraw ruhna. Dawn il-hmerijiet li qed isiru vis à vis il-V18 huma tat-tip “arts and crafts”, affarijiet li konna nghamlu l-primarja biex l-ghalliem jimla il-hin ta’ lezzjoni. Biss dawn l-ahhar 10 snin kulhadd sar jesprimi l-“arti” tieghu u bi dritt jimponi dawn ic-cucati u jghaddi li hu artist ta’ talent eccezjonali minhajr ebda tip ta’ studju approfondit ta’ struttura w hsieb. L-artist sar jista jezercita l-arti tieghu sakemm jista jsib il-fondi u certu opportunitajiet minflokk jinghataw lil min vera haqqu qed jinghataw lil “amateurs”. Jekk vera rridu l-V18 tkun ghadd ta’ avvenimenti Kulturali fuq livell ewropew irid ikun hemm konsistenza u mhux dal-qatta hmerijiet “cool” li jipprova jolqot il-massa. Guy Debord jispjegah tajjeb f’ “la societé du spectacle” u qablu Nietzche f'”Nietzsche contra Wagner”. Jekk taghti l-massa dak li trid tispicca tipproduci l-hara u dan huwa ezattament dak li qed isir!

That’s nothing compared to Les Bougies Baroques. That’s where our Kenneth really lets his hair down.

The Baroque Festival is far from a flop. I’m sorry if you think it was a flop because that makes you the only one on the island.

[Daphne -I think that was a reference to the Baroque Ball, not the Baroque Festival.]
