"Allegory of the Cave"

Imagine men in a remains underground ... Everyone is potentially in a position involving lifestyle, beliefs, convictions, certainties, ways of thinking, to represent the world, to design what is true and false, and combining a priori prejudice, hasty deductions.
In the cave, humans are chained so they "can see before them." Their light comes from behind them, a fire ignited on a hillside. External light passes through an opening in the cave, so that the body of each prisoner casts its shadow on the walls. The sequences represent the beliefs, convictions, beliefs, prejudices and other a priori. The difficulty in breaking the chains to discard the image of what they represent and through the ages in the concerns of philosophers. Consider now
(...) that separates one of these prisoners, he was forced to stand up ... suddenly faced with a sudden change, embodied in a new situation or a painful new idea calls into Because the old prejudices. He will suffer glare and prevent him from seeing objects that earlier he saw shadows.

* The message is certainly the strongest to take no for real data from our senses and prejudice formed by habit. Plato emphasizes the difficulty of men to change their conceptions of things, their resistance to change, the influence of ideas.

* A key to understanding the allegory is given by Socrates himself in Book VII of The Republic: "[...] the rise since the underground cave until around the sun, and once arrived there, this gaze direction toward the divine appearances [...] that's what this whole business of the arts that we presented has the power to achieve. "(532c) It is therefore to move from opinion (by the senses and prejudice) to the knowledge of intelligible reality, the Ideas.

* The philosopher escapes from the cave through the exercise of dialectic, without the support of any sensory perception (532a). As his eyes become accustomed to the bright world of ideas, it reaches the end of the intelligible (532B).

Viva Elvis - Sony Music

" You Can See These Tears are real, I'm crying "

For those who have not yet seen the ad for this album, I do a little rundown. After a successful tour of Viva Elvis Cirque du Soleil , Sony Music has decided to release the album for Christmas. The stated goal is to get up to date a few tubes from King to reach a younger audience. The result will pierce the eardrums in a few notes: This is a complete failure.

Before any misunderstanding, do a little focus. For starters, I do not criticize the tour, I have not seen, but only the album. Then I do not condemn the whole concept of remix. Make known to younger generations of older works is a noble task, I found myself Patti Smith following a takeover by the Distillers

... Now, let's go to the heart of the matter. Page deezer opened, the first thing that is obvious is the lack of originality in the choice of songs. Except maybe Bossa Nova Baby , the playlist is lazy: All songs are arch-known. After an introduction inspired by the scenes of Elvis entries, interspersed with bits of interviews, album begins Blue Suede Shoes . First reaction: "WHAT THE FUCK?! The three notes repeated incessantly guitar and harmonica bring only of boredom punctuated the song once. The song has lost all his energy and they are not scarce attempts to scratch that alter this conclusion. As with Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis's voice is so edited, remixed, compressed to the extreme to give a vintage effect that imagined singing into a megaphone at the head of a procession against the pension reform ...

By continuing to listen this album, one realizes that all the pieces were smoothed to form a unit. The irony is that the voice of Elvis is so altered, it could not serve as a binder for this album yet appointed Viva Elvis. pieces from the first part of his career ( That's Alright, Blue Suede Shoes etc..) Have no energy and those from his later years ( Suspicious Mind, Can not Help Falling in Love etc..) were deprived of the power and emotion transmitted by the orchestra. All tracks have been rendered meaningless for better look. It appears nothing in his tracks. To be blunt: it's elevator music with a voice too remixed to look like the King.

The desire to "make younger" also misses his chance. The scratch Blue Suede Shoes and guitars reminiscent of far too much 80/90 to attract younger generations. Some songs sound like B-sides of old Bon Jovi, or worse: the long awaited (for anything) C hines Democracy of Guns N'Roses . As with many album, here is the worst for last. I've never been a big fan of Love me Tender but this version is a masterpiece: a maudlin piano, acoustic guitar style fireside and Amel Bent ...! If so, you read correctly, Amel Bent, the loser of the New Star finds himself in a duet with Elvis ... is appalling.

To conclude, I must confess that I did not understand this album. It misses on every level. People unfamiliar with the career of Elvis did not learn more because the songs do not resemble the originals at all, young people do not recognize to be in his 80's feeling the remix and the fans of the King did not even discern the voice of their sovereign. There is one thing to add:
LONG LIVE THE KING!

The best conditions for listening to the album:
The best is to post 200 kilometers from your speakers.
