Dieser Abend ist der Solidaritätsbekundung mit dem iranischen Volk gewidmet ❤️
Die Proteste im Iran 2022 sind landesweite Proteste gegen die autoritäre islamische Regierung. Auslöser war der durch Polizeigewalt herbeigeführte Tod von Jina Mahsa Amini in Teheran am 16. September 2022. Sie war von der islamischen Sittenpolizei festgenommen und misshandelt worden, weil angeblich ihr Kopftuch nicht richtig sass. Seither hat sich eine grosse Protestwelle im Iran erhoben, mit einer beispiellosen Solidarität der Zivilbevölkerung, die ein Regimewechsel zielt.
Viele junge Künstler*innen sind federführende Kräfte dieser Protestbewegung, wie der Rapper Toomaj Salehi und Saman Yasin. Beide wurden verhaftet, seitdem droht ihnen die Hinrichtung.
Der Abend wird unterstützt durch diese grossartigen Musiker*innen:
🎤 Bettina Schelker
🎤 Pink Pedrazzi
🎤 Sam Himself
🎤 Amin Alavi Storyteller
🎤 Roli Frei
Sie haben sich sofort bereit erklärt, benefizmässig aufzutreten, um ihre Solidarität mit dem iranischen Volk zu bekunden.
Secrets secrets secrets
Upon Hunter S. Thompson’s return from Las Vegas, Jim Silberman made a comment about the Fear and Loathing piece that alarmed Hunter. The following is Jim’s comment and an excerpt from Hunter’s letter response.
JS: You know it was absolutely clear to me reading Las Vegas that you were not on drugs.
HST: This is true, but what alarms me is that Vegas was a very conscious attempt to simulate a drug freakout—which is always difficult, but in reading it over I still find it depressingly close to the truth I was trying to re-create.
But to hell with all this. What depresses me is your statement that it was “absolutely clear” to you that Raoul Duke & his attorney “were not on drugs.” Because my conception of that piece was to write a thing that would tell what it was like to do a magazine assignment with a head full of weird drugs.
I didn’t really make up anything—but I did, at times, bring situations & feelings I remember from other scenes to the reality at hand. I might even claim, for that matter, that this was done by consciously tripping the fabled L*D Recall and/or Flashback Mechanism.
But this is a difficult subject, & there’s no point in trying to come to grips with it here. What I’m talking about, in essence, is the mechanical Reality of Gonzo Journalism … or Total Subjectivity, as opposed to the bogus demands of Objectivity.
But f**k all that, for now.
All I ask is that you keep your opinions on my drug-diet for that weekend to yourself. As I noted, the nature (& specifics) of the piece has already fooled the editors of Rolling Stone. They’re absolutely convinced, on the basis of what they’ve read, that I spent my expense money on drugs and went out to Las Vegas for a ranking freakout.
Probably we should leave it this way; it makes it all the more astounding, that I could emerge from that heinous experience with a story. So let’s just keep our personal conclusions to ourselves.
