I’m Judit. 25. Hungarian. 🇭🇺

Lawyer. Temporary picture framer.

I post mainly about: Phil Collins/Genesis, John Lennon/The Beatles. The John girl life had chosen me, not the other way around.

I've started a little project where I transcribe/collect Genesis and Phil Collins related sources because they can be hard to find - but it's very slow going.

Other artists that I love: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Steven Wilson, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, Taylor Swift, PJ Harvey, David Bowie and many more. Above and below pictures illustrate this mental illness.

I post my opinions, my rankings, and sometimes I do longer write-ups. All subjective and everchanging. I'm also a critical fan - I believe criticism is a form of analysis, and necessiary for everything you love (or hate).

Sometimes I am distracted by fictional, non music releated media (i.e. Peaky Blinders, period dramas, danmeis).

I am also #hungarianposting bc what else can you do in this world.

And I love hungarian literature more than anything. Ady Endre 4ever.

I just I can’t help but see that your complaints comes down to USA ignorance /envy mixed with inferiority complex which is typical for online Europeans no disrespect.

I don’t know what tell you but yeah usa is the global power right now and has been for a looong tiiime of course a lot of the discourse will centered around them! Just like if was 100 years ago British empire would’ve been the center and believe it or not the ottoman empire would be too if we go back long enough but we didn’t have internet soo sorry?!

like rest of the world is just as ignorant about the us as the average American is about them, no reasonable person believes that western civilizations are the root of all evil it real life≠online and in real life people will agree with you about the atrocities committed by ALL civilizations across time.

I’m sick and tired of people complaining about us and americans without a thought some kind of critical thinking

anyways no hard feelings you don’t have to respond to this if you don’t want to thanks

I have no envy towards the USA neither I have inferiority complex. How ridicolous to say that.

Saying that I and other people don't know anything about the USA is also wrong. Your viewpoints and opinions are everywhere. Movies, music, history classes. Your race theory, your takes, your presidents, thankgiving, july 4, red scare, idiotic healthcare system, your tradwives trends, the forever occupation with the Vietnam war etc. If somebody has any interest in a topic in english language, you will encounter USA issues. On Tumblr people also doesn't tag their usa political shit!

People can be quite comfortable in this cozy "We are the main characters" positition and uncurious about everything else - which wouldn't bother me if they wouldn't INSIST on having opinions about issues they don't understand. I don't want to tankie takes (no matter if you are western european or american) on how the Soviet Union was actually great and people chose it! I'm not interested in the "everybody who is the enemy of USA must be our friends" self hating black and white thinking and spreading dangerous misinformation.

Also your country cannot be the most important power in the world - whose presidental elections affects the rest of us!! - yet be uncomfortable with the fact that we are maybe unhappy your choices or opinions. Hollywood and usa media and art is widespread so how you or your people view things will impact things. Your practices will spread. I can comment it bc it effects me too!

I will always remember those usamerican guys on my Erasmus who told me how my country should be bombed bc Orbán was the prime minister. Yet you choose Trump again! Embarassing. Not everybody american is an arsehole or a good guy; just like with any countries. But man you suuuure love to leave an impression!

I'm also done with the fact that people treat Europe as a homogenic whole despite it consisting of an incredible amounts of countries, cultures and languages.

Wuhuuu not me finding a Havadtőy Sámuel (Samuel Havadtoy) interview from 2023?? 50+ minutes?? Let's go.

John being murdered, then ended up being idolised def contributed to the fact that they all seem so hung up on him. Lot of people never really get over their killed relatives, friends and lovers and I think that's understandable. :(

I really believe John and Yoko loved each other, and decided that around 80s they mostly solved their issues and worked out a partnership that would have worked. I think Yoko seriously thought she helped John and wanted to fix him - even when she abused him. I also think they knew each other better than any other people. They were also interested in keeping alive their John&Yoko brand. I personally believe they would not have divorced just plan to open the relationship. (Which is why I think poor May would have been dragged back into this mess...) Which is why I hate the bitching on how Yoko evilly tried to cheat on John or how she was together with somebody after John - traumatizing! - death. Bu-hu how dare she. I really don't think monogamy worked for J&Y.

Also, John and Yoko both had multiple issues and them being together and having a "bad" relationship was not the only problem. While I think that John and Yoko uncomfortably enabled each other eating disorder and drug addiction - I hate when people want to insist John would have been happier or "saved" by Paul or - poor, abused! - May.

I sincerily believe John Lennon was deeply depressed (and isolated himself which made it worse, but I assume he also had the urge to just be alone, to not hurt others), and he would have felt shit and acted out anyway! He already did that in 66. Him stopping music was stupid from him - bc it started making him feel even MORE useless and behind. He was also traumatised by the whole Beatles thing and trying to work out - but John, opposite to me btw - instead of turning it inwards and turning the hurt onto himself, started projecting it out at others, shouted at them, verbally abused them (ie. stories of John verbally attacking others, like Julian, Sean and Mike Tree? that's how he called? etc.). Clearly he had anger issues in his whole life, but this time he actually tried to deal with them and not make it physical. I also always thought him writing lying nonsense and hateful diary entries, ranting at them was actually good for him and a sign of him TRYING.

The idea that somebody else - aside from PROFESSIONAL, THERAPEUTIC HELP, which John did not want, bc he wanted instant fix and magical solutions (and maybe was afraid of psychology?) - could have made him that much better (or Yoko), or god forbid, fix him, just doesn't sit well with me. Love can help but man. It does not make the mental illness away!

well it’s mainly because the biases that white media had against black artists, rock and country music in particular were seen as the last genres were their "superiority" is evident in their mind so they fight HARD to keep it that way and to keep their history whitewashed.

i mean jann wenner the founder of one Of the biggest if not the biggest rock magazines in world has said that he doesn’t think that black artists were “articulate” and their music were not “intellectual” enough in comparison to their white peers.

again this man was at the helm of that a magazine that spread that narrative for 50 years!!! No wonder the general public doesn’t exalt black musicians/black music even if they deserve it. Time and time again black artists had told us that they have to work twice as hard to get half as much as their white peers and they’re right.

now in the case of prince he kid of hurt himself

1-he was the one of the most prolific artists we've ever had, at the height of his powers he kept pumping amazing albums one after another to the point that people were overwhelmed didn't have the time to digest all of his work, that's why he had to give so many song to his groups/other arists he produced under multiple pseudonyms.

2- he had a lot of legal issues with his labels for many years which resulted in him being a control freak "not judging" and not allowing his music to be heard i mean you couldn't stream his music for years only after his death were we able to finally stream, by then a generation had missed who he was and his legacy had declined.

what's so funny though is i think that part of his mini resurgence is his performance in george's hof induction which was a very petty move on his part 😂but he was mad and was trying to prove a point and he did ... very prince of

I def think it's partly because of racism (and sexism is RT case), how like Little Richard, Rossetta Tharpe, (even James Brown?) were not names that were thrown around when it comes to the early years of rock music. I'm sure the way american radio kept up seperation between "white" and "black" radio for - like? Until the 80s? - was also a big problem, and pushed the r&b and funk and soul label onto a lot of things that were done by black artists (that maybe should have been qualified differently).

That Jann Wenner quote is disgusting btw.

You are also right that his incredible amount of output overwhelmed people and they maybe even had enough of him. I also think his stupid name change to that symbol did not help the matters!

But I also think that when it comes to Prince, he was also: a solo artist, most well known in the 80s and still deeply pop influenced. When it comes to the type of circles where I was (those were also bands that my father knew) Prince being a kind of musical shapeshifter (similarly to Bowie) and "pop-ish" and radio friendly does not help him! Harder rock and metal people can be very very elitist and hate everything that's successful, popular and radio friendly. This is why Lindsey Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac was also never mentioned there! These people still did not get over the fact that Metallica's Black album came out in 1991! And how it dared to be successful and a not thrash metal! Even my father bitched about it bc he heard Metallica in "diszkó" (I think most hungarian clubs were called "diszkó" so it was not just a music genre) meaning all the "pop" lover liked it and they "sold out." It took me years to make my father listen to 90s Metallica lmao.
