ADORNO UND DIE FRANKFURTER SCHUHE (ADORNO AND THE FRANKFURTER SHOES) startled me into another music video from the round of BROTESTSONGS. The dialogue with the pope of theory Thedor Wiesengrund Adorno can also be continued on the visual level, since two literal quotes in the song come as sound documents from filmed interviews.

This leads to presumptions, which are easy to make posthumously. I don’t want to unravel this further here – it should actually be a found food for all those who are addressed by Adorno with his rather harsh rejection of modern pop music in the broad sense. It is, however, quite a nice practical example of the relationship between theory and practice.
