Christof Spörk in Fürstenfeld

With "Maximo Lieder," the PhD political scientist and proclaimed jazz singer Spörk returns to his roots. Already in 2001 he founded an Austro-Cuban project called "Maximo Lieder," a musically satirical allusion to the rock star among strongmen, the – Karl Marx bless him! – long-deceased "Máximo Líder" Fidel Castro. At that time, even ORF was convinced that the era of strong leaders and dictators was over. That's why Karl Moik had to go. Paradise seemed near. But far from it. We are currently experiencing a renaissance of equally "strong" yet intellectually modest men, to whom you would actually be better off not entrusting a dog. Although most love their dog more than their country anyway.

Not only dog owners feel like they're living in the wrong century. The famous bird that every eligible voter may call their own is dying in many brains. Probably the feed supply is insufficient. Too much of everything. Too little nutrition. Smartphones may be more handy than newspapers. But birds, unlike Homo Sapiens, do not like to eat hot air or alternative facts. At least one kernel (truth) should always be present. For the birds now.

But please don’t worry: “Maximo Lieder” Spörk does not have any answers either. But perhaps he asks some right questions. Does world history belong to the ruminant species? If so, are we people writing history more like goats or sheep, as one leading world religion claims? Or: why do we pay attention to kindergarten teachers being good people, yet accuse politicians of the same? Why are assholes in male bodies admired for being assertive? Yes, why do we allow ourselves to be led around day after day by confirmed idiots? Are we perhaps on a collective sales trip for AI? And why does a missing "i" turn the most beautiful of all arts, MUSIC, into a mentally neglected, bitterly poor multimillionaire who thinks he must save the world?
