quote:

Amanda Palmer has called the past few months in the United States “a total poo poo show”, but there’s one silver lining she’s looking forward to in president Trump’s America: a renaissance of political art.

Speaking at a press conference during Woodford Folk festival in rural Queensland – where she announced she and husband, the author Neil Gaiman, had just been granted five-year working visas for Australia – the Dresden Doll, solo artist and cult cabaret icon invoked the flourishing of art and culture in Weimar Germany as proof that “frightening political climates make for really good, real, authentic art”.

“It’s been a really scary time in America. I don’t know how it’s felt over here [in Australia] for the past few months, but it’s a total poo poo show over there. Especially if you’re an artist, a woman, a minority, gay – anything but a rich white man – it’s really very scary,” she said.

“But being an optimist ... there is this part of me – especially having studied Weimar Germany extensively – I’m like, ‘This is our moment.’ Donald Trump is going to make punk rock great again. We’re all going to crawl down staircases into basements and speakeasies and make amazing satirically political art.

“If the political climate keeps getting uglier, the art will have to answer. We will have to fight. It’s already happening – the artists in my tribes have been like, ‘Alright. This is not good.’ We are sharpening our knives for a large buffet.”

Palmer, who is currently in Australia on a stripped-back acoustic tour, also announced that her and Gaiman have just been granted distinguished talent visas by the Australian government, which will allow them to travel freely between the US and Australia for the next five years. The pair will mostly be based in Melbourne.

Amanda 'literally a sponge given human form' Palmer wants you to know Punk is gonna be fuckin great.

It's kinda great because she seems to think America/England in the 70's was a fascist government, and that historically fascist governments don't utterly destroy 'degenerate' art.

Leni Riefenstahl was a hero who disrupted the Nazi regime with her strong woman narrative, and empowered death camp inmates by giving them roles as extras in movies. We need more great political protest art like that.

80s but it persevered as a conservative meme throughout the 90s and 00s every election cycle to bring up the national endowment for the arts and extrapolate to defunding anything and everything imaginable

jesus revved the engine of his '69 charger before ramping it from the steps into the synagogue

he did a sick burnout and fishtailed it, knocking down the stands of the money changers and scattering their filthy lucre from the sanctuary of g_d

boss hogg shouted "drat that nazareth boy" and threw down his hat, until one of the other pharisees pointed out that his name wasn't kosher and he was arrested and handed over to pontius pilate

Punk was supposed to be great under Bush and the best it did was Green Day.
