I read Veloso's memoir last year, and his discussions of his exile from Brazil beginning in 1969 and his time spent in Paris and London were some of the best passages. Veloso also discussed "Domingo" and his friendship with Costa, whom he rightly regards as a genius and supremely talented.

Since when did this show become a platform for left-wing social justice? I should have known something was up when Sheila said awhile back that drug addicts should not feel ashamed. No shame = a dulled conscience. And then where does the sense of right and wrong come from? Oh well, leave it to liberals to eradicate common sense.

Since I am in Turkey Bulent Ersoy would be a good banned artist. She is a trans woman got her re-assignment surgery done between coups in the 70s I want to say and was banned and kicked out of the country despite being a fairly big artist. Though that was all taken back and she tours and makes music there now. Though the situation is not really all that much better than it was sadly.

A while back the WFMU twitter feed (or one of the DJs) linked to an article that said, based on survey data, that the average age where people stop listening to new music is something like 34 (not sure of the exact age, but I'm only off a year or two if at all).

As soon as I see the phrase "left wing social justice", I know I am hearing from someone who is deeply invested in his fantasies of what "left wing" is. And usually, this is someone who wants to instruct people, who he thinks are "left wing", about who they are, what they think, what they believe...

Make-up, tattoos, surgery, hair color, and all that drag… i say as long as it feels right for you, go for it.

@Granny Spicy Tuna I actually remember being really confused by pig latin when I was a kid. I spent all my brain on English. I really want to learn Turkish, but it's a little...difficult.

Tneeld don't get discouraged in turkish. Its a hurdle at first but the grammar is devoid of exceptions, and things genuinly build off each other.

@Cecile I tried using Duolingo before I went the first time, but I ended up getting really good at the Duolingo app. Not so much actually speaking Turkish. (I did really learn the Turkish word for turtle.)

@tneeld: Spanish, read german, read japanese (in the latin alphabet). Ok in Portuguese. Decent in French (Quebecois). Being a native English speaker, you'd think I'd master it by now. Tons of phrases in mostly European languages.

Duolingo is good for getting your feet wet. In German, I really found success with the book, Fluent Forever, the app LingQ and speaking with native speakers on websites like italki, Conversation Exchange and Tandem. When I want to get serious, I'll repeat the process for Turkish.

Cmurtha:

Duolingo needs a text I find from what I've seen of it. It will teach you grammar up to like intermediate level and it does it well, but its not...Explicit? It just assumes you'll pick things up but its more about recognition then understanding. . Turks when you come to turkey are really happy to sit and drink tea and listen to shaky turkish (in general)

I am looking into the concept of Childhood in Early-Modern Ottoman thought. So, rather than focusing on pederasty which has been sadly the norm, broadening things to see how children are used in stories, how they are mentioned in narratives/used in narratives and I am trying to build a skeleton on which others can build on because my field has not done much of anything with history of childhood.
