Do you think it's important for your respective sanities to make music outside of the group?
|
|
I'm hoping soon for both of our sanities that we will get that validation of our partnership soon.

Liberals observing the awful spectacle might be forgiven for taking quiet satisfaction in this G.O.P. bonfire of the sanities.

And since those kids are society's future, there's more than just our own sanities at stake in getting this right.

When I heard last year that Adam Gopnik was writing a "stirring defense of liberalism" titled A Thousand Small Sanities, I had many questions.

This is one of the central arguments in Adam Gopnik's A Thousand Small Sanities, the New Yorker correspondent's book-length defense of his liberalism.
|
|
He would be fine with a sort of Keynesian social democracy, but it doesn't really matter, because A Thousand Small Sanities is not about politics, but about feelings toward politics.
|
|
That must have been real dreaming, and yet now, with all my sanities and scepticisms, I could half believe it real.

Music for a New Society was first released on vinyl in September 1982 by ZE and Island. In 1993, Yellow Moon Records reissued the album on CD for the first time, featuring the previously unreleased bonus track "In the Library of Force". On CD, the 58-second instrumental "Mama's Song", which originally featured as a standalone track on the vinyl LP release, was now incorporated into the running time of "(I Keep A) Close Watch". Additionally, the song "Sanctus" is commonly referred to as "Sanities"; the engineer's handwritten title of "Sanctus" was misread, and the track was first named "Santies" on the LP. The 1993 CD reissue calls it "Sanities".

When the album was remastered and reissued in 2016, the song was titled "Sanctus (Sanities)". In January 2016, Music for a New Society was remastered and reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original pressing, and was also reissued as a double CD set including his remake of the album entitled M:FANS.

Music for a New Society received positive reviews by critics; however, according to Cale, despite the record being his "best-received ever", the record was a commercial failure. The track "Sanities" ends with the lyrics, "All so that it would be a stronger world/A strong though loving world/To die in." A shortened and slightly misquoted version of these words ("It would be a stronger world, a stronger loving world, to die in") is the epigraph of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' comic book limited series Watchmen (1986-1987), appearing in the final panel of the comic's twelfth issue (October 1987). The epigraph is paraphrased by Adrian Veidt ("I envision a stronger, loving world") in the fifth episode of the Watchmen television series (2019).
