Sign in to disble this ad
So I was watching the news, and they were showing the funeral of Kim Jogn Il, and all the people crying and wailing in grief. Hmmm, I thought to myself - are they REALLY that grief stricken over this man? Then I saw the next vehicle in the procession: 
Maybe they were commenting on my playing. Or the demise of The Smokin' Toasters. Or just upset that my band doesn't have any gigs booked in North Korea. Or maybe they were really really upset that the Skyline Jerry Scheff five string is no longer in production. I don't know. Any ideas? |

Most people were and raised in an environment where they don't realize the oppression they face, especially when all the tv and radio you hear is controlled by said entity.
Who knows. They could be tears of joy......... |

Who knows. They could be tears of joy......... | I've seen my fair share of documentaries on life in North Korea, and each one depicts a personality cult surrounding this guy which is (or was) incredible. There are pictures of this guy EVERYWHERE! I can't help but wonder how many people in these crowds wailing and sobbing are doing so out of fear that if they don't, it won't be "liked" and they'll be in for big trouble... I just hope for the sake of the people of that nation that this new leader isn't as hard line as his father was...

| I remember hearing the legend that in the Politiboro everyone was afraid of what Stalin would do to the first comrade to stop clapping. I would hope the same goes for North Korean mourners. Much more scary is the thought that an entire nation could be sold on a family being demigods.

Love for a passed leader is much more impressive when it's freely given like with JFK, RFK, EP, MJ.
