    In this deep dive, AI breaks down the "Physics of Opposites" that drives the narrative of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot. At its heart, the novel is a collision between the Christ-like innocence of Prince Myshkin and the destructive, earthly passions of Rogozhin and Nastasya Filippovna.

  6. "China Girl" is a song written by #IggyPop and #DavidBowie in 1976, and first released by Pop on his debut solo album, #TheIdiot (1977). Inspired by an affair Pop had with a Vietnamese woman, the lyrics tell a story of unrequited love for the protagonist's Asian girlfriend, realizing by the end that his Western influences are corrupting her. Like the rest of The Idiot, Bowie wrote the music and Pop improvised the lyrics while standing at the microphone.

  11. finished #TheIdiot whilst doing my Saturday morning chores

    *sigh*

    beyond my mournful feelings about Myshkin’s febrile end, I am so struck by the fact that Natasha Filipovna SAID that Rogozhin would kill her in the very first scene in which she appeared and yet, Myshkin was really the only one who truly believed her — is that the part that makes it a classic?

  17. dostoevsky nails an archetype here, and it makes me realize that “modernity” has been going on for a very long time

    Antip Burkovsky, the young grifter: “…his face had, if one may so express it, an air of innocent insolence... there was not a trace of irony or introspection in his face, nothing but a complete blank conviction of his own rights and, at the same time, something like a strange and incessant craving to be and feel insulted.”

  19. "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop released this day in 1977. Taking absolutely nothing away from Iggy, this is likely my 5th or 6th most favorite Bowie album.

  24. I’ve boarded the #classics train once more — audio-reading Dostoevsky’s The Idiot

    the first part covers the events of a little under a day and it is sustained edge of the seat fascination the entire time. utterly gripping

    I’m also struck by how willing ppl were in bygone times to listen to each other babble on at such astonishing length; that seems a value which has dropped out of modern society

  26. The Idiot

    Released on March 18, 1977, The Idiot is the debut solo album by Iggy Pop. It was produced and largely co-written by David Bowie and, as Iggy called it ... "a cross between James Brown and Kraftwerk." The album is hailed as a foundational blueprint for post-punk, industrial, and gothic rock. It was the album playing on Joy Division singer Ian Curtis's turntable the night he died. #iggypop #theidiot #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky
