A Heartbreaking Performance of a Heartbreaking Song: Harry Belafonte Singing “Scarlet Ribbons”

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix

I know. You don’t have to tell me. But that’s what compartmentalization is for. Otherwise, you’d only be able to enjoy a work of art, if you knew nothing about its creator or performer. I study not only politicians and writers, but artists, too, and so much of the time, to know them, is to hate them.

Picasso. Great artist but also a communist. But consider his art to be great.
