Maybe Yes, Maybe No — A Classic Chinese Tale

There is a story of a farmer whose only horse ran away. That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. "Your farm will suffer, and you cannot plow," they said. "Surely this is a terrible thing to have happened to you."

He said, "Maybe yes, maybe no."

The next day the horse returned but brought with it six wild horses, and the neighbors came to congratulate him and exclaim at his good fortune. "You are richer than you were before!" they said. "Surely this has turned out to be a good thing for you, after all."

He said, "Maybe yes, maybe no."

And then, the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses. He was thrown and broke his leg, and he couldn't work on the farm. Again the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the incident. "There is more work than only you can handle, and you may be driven poor," they said. "Surely this is a terrible misfortune."

The old farmer said, "Maybe yes, maybe no."

The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of his broken leg the farmer's son was rejected. When the neighbors came again, they said, "How fortunate! Things have worked out after all. Most young men never return alive from the war. Surely this is the best of fortunes for you!"

And the old man said, "Maybe yes, maybe no."

The story of a 100 Million Dollar fine

Accused of espionage, FIA imposed McLaren-Mercedes to pay a 100 Million Dollar fine. Furthermore the team lost all points in the constructors championship.

To be continued ...
because McLaren-Mercedes will surely appeal against the harsh judgement.

Die ultimative "Bad Taste Tracklist"

Auch ich möchte das derzeit kursierende Stöckchen aufgreifen und habe eine Auswahl an "musikalischen Verbrechen an der Menschheit" zusammengestellt.

Es gibt wirklich viel Musik die mich nervt (dieses Phänomen zieht sich durch alle Musik-Genres und tritt bei mir aber auch häufig bei großartigen Künstlern oder Bands auf, die ich ansonsten gerne höre). Es gibt ferner viel zu viel komerzielle Musik die, meiner Ansicht nach, für einen gelungenen und interessanten Clubabend - eine wirkliche "Musik-Experience" - mehr als unpassend ist.
Die DJ's dieser Welt (ich nehme mich da nicht aus) kommen aber leider einfach nicht drum herum, den ein oder anderen grässlichen Komerz- oder Charthit in Ihr Set einzustreuen, da das Gros der Gäste nunmal auf Komerz voll abfährt. Klingt traurig, ist aber so. Ein nennenswärtes Beispiel unter vielen sind u. a. die Pussycat Dolls feat. Busta Rhymes mit "Don't Cha". Meiner Meinung nach eine wirklich scheusliche Nummer (ich unterlasse es an dieser Stelle auch, mich über solche Sex-Sells-Produktionen auszulassen), aber die Crowd fährt nunmal voll darauf ab.
Eine Liste solcher Songs (wenigstens sind ein Paar wenige noch tanzbar) wäre unendlich lang, ich habe mich daher wirklich nur auf die allergrößten Komerz-Gemeinheiten fokussiert, die bei mir entweder ein bemitleidendes Schmunzeln, ein schmerzverzerrtes Gesicht, Magenkrämpfe, einen Tinitus oder gar Brechreitz auslösen.

Also los geht's - Hier meine "Trackliste des Schreckens" (in willkürlicher Reihenfolge),
zuletzt gehört im "Fun" in Ihrer unmittelbaren regionalen Umgebung:
  • Scooter u. a. "How much is the fish"
  • DJ Ötzi "Anton aus Tirol", "Burger Dance" etc.
  • DJ Bobo "Pray "
  • Rednex "Cottoneye joe"
  • Captain Jack "1,2,3"
  • Las Ketchup "Aserejé (The Ketchup Song)"
  • Modern talking "You're my heart"
  • Scatman "I'm a Scatman"
  • Mr. President "Coco Jambo"
  • Vengaboys "We're going to Ibiza"
  • Crazy Frog "Axel F."
  • Eifel 65 "Blue"
  • Tokio Hotel "Schrei"
  • Rammstein "Du hast"
  • Böhse Onkelz "Terpentin"
  • Die Prinzen "Du musst ein Schwein sein"
  • Opus "Live is Live"
  • De Randfichten "Der alte Holzmichl" oder
  • Wencky Myhre "Er hat ein knallrotes Gummiboot"

(Anmerkung: Songs von Schlager- und Apres Ski-Best-Of-Alben gehen ohnehin gar nicht)

  • Weather Girls "Its raining man"
  • Village People "YMCA"
  • Dr. Alban "Sing Hallelujah"
  • Eamon "F**k it"
  • Sarah Connor "From Sarah with love"
  • Haddaway "What Is Love"
  • U96 "Das Boot" (auch wenn es ein Techno-Ära Klassiker ist)
  • Alles von den Dsds-Stars von Alexander, Daniel K., No Angels über Brosis
  • Allgemein alles von Casting-Bands, Boy- und Girl-Groups
  • Eigentlich könnte man rund 80 % aller Chart-Hits seit Beginn der 90'er in diese Liste nominieren
  • Als Gründungsmitglied der "Say-No-to-Komerz Bewegung" entsage ich in der Regel jeglichen Chart-Hits (sowas kommt einfach nicht auf meinen Plattenteller)
Die Trackliste des schlechten Geschmacks liese sich wohl auch noch weiterführen, denn die Komerzproduktionsmafia ist fleißig am weiterproduzieren. Schon unglaublich, wieviel Geld manch einer mit Trash verdient. Komisch, dass eigentlich JEDER diese Songs scheisse findet ... gekauft wurden Sie trotzdem von irgendwem - ich frage michan dieser Stelle, von "wer oder was"?

Weitere Listen des Grauens finden sich hier, hier, hier, hier, hier oder hier.

Was Deutschland letzten Sommer mit dem Ball am Fuss nicht geschafft hat, ...

... das wird mit dem Ball in der Hand,
einem eisernen Willen,
aufopfernder Teamarbeit, Fleiß und Schweiß
sowie einer gesamten Nation im Rücken
einfach nachgeholt.
