about

Objects of personality cults and political radicals often emerge after their deaths as an image of what people later decide they represent. This isn’t necessarily contrived, but happens particularly in instances where they have died unnaturally, becoming a martyr of sorts. Often the legacy of a person decades or millennia later will only come down to one short phrase or an easy quotation, reducing their achievements, loves, good decisions and bad decisions to an informed conversational footnote. In this case, the subject is Ulrike Meinhof. Outside of the hatred or glamour she garnered over the course of her entire career as first as a respected writer and later, fugitive, the thing that stood out most to me was her intense dedication.

lyrics

now just an ideal unmitigated by the reality of a living person there’s so much to be said for commitment she worked the years into a solid brick of meaning forged
with the mortar of doubt and human imperfection she wouldn’t wait for the “right” conditions but decided to facilitate them we can’t wait for the “right” conditions but rather must create them and everyday that picture stares down at me from the wall and says I may not have always been right but there’s so much to be said for commitment
