Tom Holland traces the roots of Western secularization in his book Forge of Christendom to the events in Canossa when Emperor Henry IV humiliated himself before Pope Gregory VII in 1077. The emperor had previously made church appointments without the pope’s clearance and even called for Gregory’s abdication. The Pope excommunicated him. This image shows the emperor and his wife waiting for three days at Cannosa to get an audience with the Pope and seek his forgiveness. “To be sure, Gregory today may not enjoy the fame of a Luther, a Lenin, a Mao – but that reflects not his failure but rather the sheer scale of his achievement. It is the incomplete revolutions which are remembered; the fate of those that succeed is to end up being taken for granted. Gregory himself did not live to witness his ultimate victory – but the cause for which he fought was destined to establish itself as perhaps the defining characteristic of Western civilization. That the world can be divided into church and state, and that these twin realms should exist distinct from each other: here are presumptions that the eleventh century made “fundamental to European society and culture, for the first time and permanently.” What had previously been merely an ideal would end up a given.” Get the book.

But there’s a Bosendorfer here so let’s see what happens. Late in her life when she was broke and reduced to hiring men for sex and the affections she craved, Nina Simone performed My Baby Just Cares For Me in Montreux . The song was used in commercials for Chanel No. 5 “unfortunately of which I have none,” Simone said before she started her performance. She then said she wished she was as wise (financially) when she made the album with the song as “I have become now.” “I have suffered,” she said. “But there’s a Bosendorfer here. Let’s see what happens.” She then gives a dazzling and brilliant performance of the song and shows why she is music royalty - divinity even. That performance played in my mind as I stood in front of this Bosendorfer in the Piano Museum on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen.

But, her legacy extends way beyond music with one song in particular — "Strange Fruit." The song paints an unflinching picture of racial violence, and it was an unexpected hit. But singing it brought serious consequences.In a special collaboration with NPR Music's Turning the Tables Series, how "Strange Fruit" turned Billie Holiday into one of the first victims of the War on Drugs. “The trial was called United States vs. Billie Holiday and she said that’s how it felt.” Great episode on the first casualty of the war on drugs - started and invented by a racist lunatic who wanted another battle after alcohol was legalized. The US government told Billie Holiday to stop singing “Strange Fruit” but she defied the constant harassment and would find a place no matter how dingy where she would sing the anthem against lynching. They destroyed and, by their action, ultimately killed Bille Holiday. In contrast, the racist who made it his mission to destroy Holiday helped Judy Garland and Senator Joseph McCarthy in their addiction, even arranging for supply to the latter of legal version of the drugs to which he was addicted.

It was taken from the cathedral as war booty by an American soldier at the same time as the Balangiga bells – when Gen. Jacob Smith, enraged by the killing of his men by Filipino guerrillas, ordered the killing of anyone over 10 who were capable of bearing arms. He told his men to reduce Samar into a “howling wilderness.” That they did. The Balangiga Bells were already set to be returned to the Philippines during the time of President Clinton and in time for the Philippine Centennial celebration. Msgr. Pedro Quitorio, a key official involved in the return of the bells, said Clinton had pledged its return to then President Ramos. US veterans, however, managed to sneak into the Pentagon budget a provision that barred the return of “legitimate spoils of war” without specific legislation. The bells were eventually returned in 2018. The Madonna and Child, meanwhile, was returned to Borongan on April 23, 1998, in time for the Centennial Celebration of Philippine Independence. The icon had been entrusted to Bishop Joseph Hart of the Cheyenne Diocese, himself an advocate of the return of the bells. It was given to Bishop Hart by the wife of the American soldier who “rescued” it from the fire that razed Borongan.
