Political Prog

Kinda strange to see this mentioned in only a couple of places. The same thing happened in America, for example, where the folk revolution had started in the mid 60's and never really stopped, and it made its way to rock music very quickly, in the late 60's with several really well known stuff. It also happened in Brazil, for example, although I might suggest that in Germany it had a very different birth that might be centered around the arts in general, since so much of it involved theater and film specially. I am not aware, of what we call "folk music" in Germany much, though it may just be that I am not as well studied in that area. But it had its political tone, although many folks in the "krautrock" specials tend to take the whole thing away from most politics and into a creative endeavor instead. I imagine that after the WW2, political parties and a lot of political ideas were forced to be put aside so the country could concentrate on its rebuilding, and not politics. That's what I see ... but, again, I really do not have a total/complete study of the whole krautrock thing, specially as some of those "specials" are being kept apart from the viewership for a large fee ... which I understand, but it also hides the "knowledge" that is sustains from the larger world, and that is sad, harsh, and pathetic in my book. I still have not, and can not afford, to see those 3 specials by that one group, and those folks couldn't care less how much I talk and work on the whole "krautrock" thing and its connection to the arts in many ways. As a rock thing, only, and pushed as such, it is not worthy of attention ... it would be just one faction in music, and not an important artistic development. I don't think that the folks in question see that at all ...
