THE SUN INSTEAD

October 29th, 2008

 

 

Beuys made this little song – ‘Sonne statt Reagan’ in 1982 to fulfill his political vision.  The chorus translates roughly as… “We want the sun, not Reagan (Rain)! To live without weapons! In the west, and in the east, The Rockets must rust!”.  ’Reagan’ sounds a lot like like ‘Regen’ (Rain) in German.  

I am having a lot of work visa trouble here in Japan, so i am hoping for the sun too.
