Chuck DarwinIn an NPR interview, Caitlin Horrocks, author of a novel about <a href="https://c.im/tags/Erik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Erik</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Satie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Satie</a> called "The Vexations", remembers the first time she encountered the composer’s work. “As a piano student, my teacher assigned me one of the ‘<a href="https://c.im/tags/Gymnopiedies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gymnopiedies</a>.’ And as a kid, I just immediately loved it.” Yet when Horrocks dug deeper into Satie’s catalogue, “very quickly I was running into things like ‘Flabby Preludes (For a Dog)’ or ‘Dried Embryos,’ one of which contains essentially lines of dialogue from the point of view of a sea cucumber. And as an aspiring pianist, I was annoyed. I was disappointed.”Horrocks essentially describes the way Satie has been remembered by popular culture —as the composer of the extraordinarily popular “Gymopedies” and “Gnossiennes,” —and a lot of other strange pieces of music few people care to listen to. (The title of Horrocks novel comes from a Satie composition meant to be played 840 times in succession.) He wrote ballets, stage, orchestral, and choral pieces, chamber music, and, several compositions for solo piano —and he would perhaps be a little annoyed by his legacy: music he composed in his early twenties has defined his entire career, though “Satie’s later output… is arguably more ‘important,’” writes Meurig Bowen at The Guardian.Satie was “a torchbearer for the avant-garde in his later years.” Described by his contemporaries Ravel and Debussy as a “precursor” –a label that fits perfectly given how much he came to influence composers like John Cage –Satie did not fit in his time, and he does not fit in ours. The preference for what Bowen calls “easy on the ear” music persists, and for good reason. We intuitively respond to melody and harmony, to music with narrative-like structure and stirring emotional content. We so often come to music for exactly these qualities: to be liberated from thinking and give ourselves over to feeling. <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2019/08/animated-scores-of-eric-saties-most-famous-pieces.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openculture.com/2019/08/animated-scores-of-eric-saties-most-famous-pieces.html</a>

Chuck DarwinSecrecy begets secrecy. In January, a very special two-day meeting was set up by officials of the United Arab Emirates between a Russian contact said to be close to <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vladimir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vladimir</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Putin</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Erik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Erik</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prince</a>, who was reportedly acting as “an unofficial envoy” for Trump, in the Seychelles Islands, another “secrecy jurisdiction” —and one in which the UAE wields a great deal of influence. (A spokesperson for Prince denied that he acted on Trump’s behalf, and White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that Prince had nothing to do with the Trump transition team.) The Washington Post reports that the meeting took place about ten days before Trump’s 2017 inauguration. Prince was a big donor to the Trump campaign, coughing up $250,000 for pro-Trump organizations during the election —among them a political action committee helmed by <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rebekah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rebekah</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mercer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercer</a>.In keeping with its role as a hider of rich people’s money, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Barry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barry</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Faure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Faure</a>, the Seychelles secretary of state for foreign affairs, told the Post that it’s a great place to have a secret assignation away from the media’s prying eyes; in fact, it’s a selling point in the tourist board’s promotional materials, he said.

Chuck DarwinThe wealth of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Betsy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Betsy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DeVos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeVos</a>, by contrast, comes from a simpler operation: the marketing of what some have called a pyramid scheme that goes by the brand name <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amway</a>. Founded by her father-in-law in 1959, Amway distributes home products like dish soap and cosmetics through a network of home-based sellers who are pressured to recruit more sellers in order to earn a bonus on the amount of product the distributor would then sell wholesale to the recruit. That recruit would also be a distributor, looking for recruits of his or her own, in order to sell more products wholesale in order to get that bonus. Note the emphasis on recruitment and bonuses rather than the direct-selling to retail customers, who, in the end, were the ones for whom Amway products were ostensibly intended.In the business press, Amway is often described as a “multilevel marketing company.” In the 1970s, the Federal Trade Commission described its business model as an “inherent fraud,” as historian Rick Perlstein reported in The Nation, and tried to shut the company down. The FTC failed in that effort, but did issue orders in 1979 slapping Amway for price-fixing and misrepresenting the kind of money distributors could expect to make. In fact, Amway was made to tell distributors that they could wind up losing money.Three decades later, in 2010, a class action lawsuit by former sellers (um, “distributors”) alleging Amway’s engagement in an “illegal scheme” was settled out of court. According to USA Today, Amway agreed to pay $55 million to former distributors, closely oversee high-level distributors who run training businesses, strengthen refund policies and make other changes estimated to cost an additional $100 million.In Forbes’ 2016 listing of “America’s Largest Private Companies,” Amway clocks in at number twenty-nine.The education secretary, née Elisabeth Prince, did not come into the DeVos family empty-handed. Her own family of origin, while not as wealthy as her husband’s, was quite well-to-do through her father’s enterprise, 💥Prince Corporation💥, itself a privately held company until Johnson Controls bought it for $1.3 billion in cash in 1996. Founder <a href="https://c.im/tags/Edgar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Edgar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prince</a>, seeking to change the political culture to more closely resemble his own heartless Calvinism, donated, according to Zack Stanton of Politico, “millions in seed funding to launch the 💥Family Research Council,” the right-wing organization that represents and organizes politically conservative evangelical Christians, and was famously designated an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Prince’s son, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Erik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Erik</a>, used his windfall to found <a href="https://c.im/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a>, the military contractor that went on to infamy when, in 2007, its mercenaries gunned down civilians in a Baghdad city square. Four Blackwater contractors were convicted in 2014 of killing fourteen unarmed Iraqis “in what prosecutors called a wartime atrocity,” according to the New York Times. Blackwater, since sold and renamed <a href="https://c.im/tags/Academi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academi</a>, was also privately held. It enjoyed more than $1 billion in government contracts. In 2010, according to the Washington Post, Prince moved to the United Arab Emirates “amid mounting legal problems for his American business.”Both the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mercers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercers</a> and the <a href="https://c.im/tags/DeVoses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeVoses</a> pour millions into the political system. You can bet they plan to run the country the same way they have run their companies: using shell games and pyramid schemes, fraud and shakedown.According to The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Robert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Robert</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mercer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercer</a> “gave $22.5 million in disclosed donations to Republican candidates and to political-action committees” to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. And that doesn’t include possible donations to nonprofit advocacy groups, now allowed, since the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, to conduct advertising for and against political candidates. But unlike PACs, these nonprofits —classified as “social welfare” groups —are not required to disclose their donors.Politico’s Stanton reports that Betsy and Dick DeVos pretty much own Michigan politics, having spent “at least $100 million on political campaigns and causes over the past 20 years.” The DeVoses used political giving and influence to cut funding to public schools and pave the way for a large influx of charter schools, and to see Michigan, home to the once-mighty United Auto Workers, turned into a so-called right-to-work state, an anti-union designation that translates into greater workplace control for business bosses, but few rights for the bossed

Chuck DarwinBetsy DeVos resigned from the Trump cabinet on Jan. 7, 2021, following the U.S. Capitol riot, which she called "unconscionable," and said she would not work for Trump again. But she admitted she'd return to his Cabinet if she had a chance to continue her long-standing goal of eliminating public education, reported The Detroit News.DeVos would return “only if it was with the goal of phasing out the Department of Education as we tried to do through budgetary process in the first administration.”Betsy DeVos is the daughter of auto parts magnate Edgar Prince and sister of Blackwater founder <a href="https://c.im/tags/Erik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Erik</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prince</a>She owes the vast majority of her fortune to her marriage to Dick DeVos.
