Why is this whole thing so funny lololol

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

i don’t think it is

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

like at all really

theschumaker.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It’s so not funny it feels not real it’s weird.

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

it’s because it’s not real. As my thread is about. They are not a real ensemble and the whole idea is just nonsense and propaganda.

What if we wrote all bunch of “j6 choir” songs and released them but the lyrics are all about how wrong and sad they are.

musicologyduck.bsky.social•22 hours ago

like I could well be wrong but didn’t they sing one heavily heavily edited song over a prison phone? Why are we accepting that they are a real group with anything that can be performed live

musicologyduck.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Would I be surprised if they trotted out a few of them to lip sync before something else? no, not really

but these guys are not going to be out here giving a full show

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

l don’t think it serves any of us to treat this like a real thing, even if there is some kind of propaganda event with some of them at some point

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I’m actually pretty tired of the “kid rock at Kennedy center honors” type jokes personally. It’s not that it’s impossible that could happen necessarily, but it just reduces the real seriousness of this

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

and I refuse to see the “J6 Choir” as a legitimate entity in any way

musicologyduck.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Like in case this isn’t SUPER clear I don’t think this is a joking matter really. This is not a legitimate performing entity, it is at the word of a master propagandist we are accepting this as a thing, and if it is a thing ever—it will be largely fake

Am getting it terribly confused with the worthy Carnegie Hall/Sing Sing program.

This irritates the hell out of me. A college friend's sister actually works in a prison as a choir director. Like she started a women's prison choir, and it's a fantastic program that a lot of people get a lot of good out of. Claiming the J6 ppl are a "choir" at all is insulting to her work imo.

they have never been anything but a propaganda effort from rich people and you’re totally right that it belittles actual incarcerated musicians
