Cabaret – Married
An evening pause: Performed by Grayson Samuels, Bella Coppola, and Anna Rose Daugherty at Texas State University.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman, who decided to find a version of this for an evening pause after we watched the 1972 movie Cabaret one evening. The film and play portrayed bluntly the decadence of Germany before World War II, a decadence that led directly to Nazi rule. Watching it now is somewhat horrifying, as it now accurately portrays the dominate and decadent leftist culture of America today. I watched and wondered if we Americans will have the courage and sense of morality to fight back and stop the kind of evils such decadence always leads to.
This song however is simply lovely, and illustrates the larger strength of the musical itself.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

Robert asked: “I watched and wondered if we Americans will have the courage and sense of morality to fight back and stop the kind of evils such decadence always leads to.”
Um, no. As the last three years have proven.
‘I will sell my birthright for a minimum-wage job.’
‘I do not want to be inconvenienced.’
‘I will follow government orders, even when I know they do not make sense and are not effective.’
‘My needs and wants trump all others. Others must bow to my will.’
Dissent?
It may be too late. Biden is transferring all of America’s military technology to China via Ukraine. Have you seen the videos of the godless Chicom commies rounding up their citizens due to “COVID” and locking them in buildings to starve, and beating to death with shovels the pets the people left behind? If they do that to their own citizens think what they’ll do to us.

Congress just authorized Biden to transfer virtually any weapon of war, other than a nuclear weapon, to Ukraine. Insane!

Mr. Zimmerman’s blinkered assessment makes me wonder if perhaps he’s trying a tad too hard in assigning cultural degradation to only one segment of American culture.
Seems to me that our country can’t begin to recover what’s been lost until we are willing to take the hard look at all of American culture. Plenty of decay to go around…
David,
“Seems to me that our country can’t begin to recover what’s been lost until we are willing to take the hard look at all of American culture. Plenty of decay to go around…”
I agree. Although,
… “take the hard look at all of American culture. ”
We no longer have any “Culture”, only society, a sad and decaying society.
Alex and all: I once again suggest my readers make the effort to read Conscious Choice. I say this because it describes exactly the right things any robust culture must have, and that America once had robustly.
We can still rebuild that. We just need to know what is required, and I myself only discovered that in researching and writing the book.

Hammer, meet nail. The thing about a ‘multi-cultural’ society, is the ‘society’ part. Culture is a shared zeitgeist; society is a bunch of people living together. American culture is a pariah in it’s own land. Maybe time for a new land. We’ll take the deserts and wastelands, and in 10 years, people will be coming to us.
