Come on now Blog. Joking?? You don’t understand my last letter to you and you want further comments from me. O.K. assuming you are not taking the proverbial mick, I’ll elucidate!! As you well know Blog, if you set out to take the mick and someone comes back with a reposte, have you successfully taken the micky or is it a double bluff and it is you who is the butt. And if it is a double bluff, how do you know? So do you go along with it and then who knows whether you are bluffing or taking the b luff seriously or ….. Stone me Blog this is getting a bit heavy, with a capital ‘H’.
The “Black September” garden sculpture was SERIOUS with a capital ‘S’.
It was meant as a genuine tribute in a small way, to the eleven Israeli athletes massacred at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
It was meant as a genuine tribute to the two brave U.S.A. athletes at the Mexico Olympic Games who had the courage to sacrifice the whole of their future lives to protest at treatment of blacks in America.
It was meant as a dig against the hypocrisy of the Olympic movement, the removal of the colours in the rings and the corruption of the circles, reflecting the insincerity which seems to pervade each Games.
The use of vandalised tyres were meant to be a reminder of the necklacing of the past.
So Blog, there you have it. Off you go for a trudge and reflect on what you have just read.
Colin
