Pop en literatuur (99): Bruce Springsteen en John Steinbeck

30 juni, 2020 - /blog/3107/pop-en-literatuur-99-bruce-springsteen-en-john-steinbeck.html

  The tractors came over the roads and into the fields, great crawlers moving like insects, having the incredible strength of insects […] Snub-nosed monsters, raising the dust and sticking their snouts into it, straight down the country, across the country, through fences, through dooryards, in and out of gullies in straight lines. They did not run on the ground, but on their own roadbeds. They ignored hills and gulches, water courses, fences, houses. Nee, dit is ge...

Women kick each other down - article for LINDA. Magazine

8 mei, 2018 - /nieuws/2070/women-kick-each-other-down-article-for-linda-magazine.html

And that these numbers haven’t decreased over the years, but only increased. It’s not about a hand on a knee, a wink or a flirtatious app message. It’s about sexually inappropriate behaviour. About force and ...

Cor's Pop & Literatuurlijst op Spotify staat onderaan dit blog Een serie over popmuziek en literatuur kan niet voorbijgaan aan Leonard Cohen. De Canadese singer-songwriter is eigenlijk meer een dichter dan een zanger. Dat wil zeggen: hij begon als dichter en romanschrijver, alvorens de overstap te maken naar de muziek. Toen in 1967 zijn eerste album Songs of Leonard Cohen verscheen, had hij al enkele dichtbundels gepubliceerd. Bovendien (maar hierover zullen de meningen verschi...

Come on boys (Timo Bruijns)

28 juni, 2016 - /blog/675/come-on-boys-timo-bruijns.html

Een beknopte samenvatting van zijn woorden voor aanvang van Wales – Engeland: ‘Come on boys! Get that ball! Move that fucking ball. Come on boys!’ De BBC was gedwongen excuses aan te bieden voor de live f*cks op klaarlichte dag, maar er waren genoeg supporters die deze achterbuurtvariant van een TED Talk wel konden waarderen. ‘ Oh my, Joe Hart needs a knighthood and immediately ’, twitterde iemand. ‘ Joe Hart is England ’, schreef een ander. Ik schrijf dat Hart mijn favoriete...

What were the effects on the lives of the Holleeder family: on mother Stien, sister Sonja, the children and their partners, the grandchildren and above all: on Astrid herself? Diary of a Witness offers  us a glimpse into the life of someone who, out of necessity, has had to go into hiding and for whom no...
