GHADAFFI - THE MUSICAL!!!



Just when you think the world can't get crazier - it does. Thanks to Emily at the ever wonderful "It comes in pints" for this marvellous link.



It seems that a radical dance-music band has teamed up with the English National Opera to produce a stage show on the life of Libya's enigmatic leader Muammar Gaddafi!!! Really! The production, which will not be completed until 2006, will explore relations between the West and the Middle East, as well as the 1988 Lockerbie airliner bombing for which a Libyan agent was convicted. It will also touch on the 1984 killing of British policewoman Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot in the back as she helped to police a demonstration against Gaddafi at Libya's London embassy.



Wonder what the major tunes for this show biz production will be?



How about " Mad Dogs and Tony Blair go out in the Midday sun" or maybe, "We shot the WPC but we did not down the Pan-am plane"



This kind of rubbish should not see the light of day, it will attempt to glorify this Libyan thug. In my opinion, he is still a pariah whose self-preservation instincts have forced him to play possum lest he follows Saddam down a spider-hole but he is still unfit to be hailed as ADF's Steve Chandra, aka Chandrasonic, suggests on the BBC (where else)



"When I was much younger, all of a sudden this person popped into the press who was completely demonised and seen as the mad dog, and recently we have seen this journey from demonisation to rehabilitation."
