Keith Richards performing with The Rolling Stones in 1981 noticed a fan storming their stage so he took aggressive action and slammed him with his guitar.
Seemed Keith could get satisfaction then…
@horrormuseum The theater experience these days is not good enough. I would rather watch a film at home on my small TV than have to pay a fortune and deal with loud assholes the entire time.
This is Aron Löwi, a 62-year-old Polish Jewish merchant from the small town of Zator. A husband, a neighbor, a man with a name, a family, and a life of his own.
On March 5, 1942, that life was brutally stripped away.
Upon arriving at Auschwitz, Aron was no longer seen as a human being. He became prisoner number 26406.
The haunting mugshots taken that day show a man already bruised, starved, and hollow-eyed, clear evidence of abuse even before he entered the camp. On his striped uniform were the badges of Nazi classification: a yellow star marking him as Jewish, and a red triangle labeling him a political prisoner.
Aron Löwi survived just five days in Auschwitz. He arrived on March 5 and was dead by March 10, 1942. His cause of death was never officially recorded, just one of millions dismissed as “unfit for labor.”
In five short days, the Nazis tried to erase a lifetime.
But they failed.
His face, his photograph, and his prisoner number remain. Every time we speak his name, we push back against the oblivion they sought to impose.
To remember even one is to resist forgetting them all.
Unpopular opinion: Hip-hop culture has done enormous damage to society.
It glorifies crime, promiscuity, materialism, and disrespect towards others, while convincing young men that these behaviors are admirable.
Society eventually becomes what it celebrates.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

No. Today we remember the countless men and women of the military who gave their lives so George Floyd could overdose on fentanyl in a free country 6 years ago. Tell the truth.
