By Klaus Braeuer. The hip movement of Elvis gave in the fifties already to trigger an earthquake of indignation.
Since then, there have been countless scandals in the world of pop music. Time for a chronicle of the biggest scandals and breaking taboos – and how they may change the Company. You can see the documentary “Pop Scandals” this Saturday (21:45 and 22:40) on Arte.
A scandal aimed commonly against the moral compass of society , and so is constantly changing. What was outrageous earlier in the highest degree, is normal today. In the years following the Second World War, the gender roles in the ultra-conservative and prudish Germany were spread carefully: Dad went to work, Mom took care of children and household. But then there was a rebellious youth and rampant pop stars who presented the old values upside down. Allegedly threatened the moral decay by the hip-swinging Elvis, now interested himself a pop singer who publicly touches his pants, no more.
The film authors Nicole Kraack and Sonja Collison let artists tell their managers and journalists Boulevard. They provide an interesting cross-connection of Betty Page, Pin-Up Girl fifties, up to Madonna. You remember Marilyn Monroe and her affair with US President John F. Kennedy (1961-62) as well as on the relationship between Bill Clinton with his intern Monica Lewinsky (1998). While Clinton has long been rehabilitated, the scandal until today remained hanging on Lewinsky.
Even in the seventies was Donna Summer’s song “Love to love you baby” for some Radio stations as unplayable. She says in the film: “The song was too sexy for me. I was a church girl and very nervous and not used to being so sexy “And gay pop stars like” Frankie goes to Hollywood “be mentioned – they have with their song”. Relax “(1983) promoted an open sexuality, which in view of the looming disease AIDS quite challenging showed.
Perhaps fewer examples more would have been, for so the viewer is literally killed by the effort to complete chronicle. The fundamental question “What led and leads to a really hearty scandal in pop music – it is staged, it just happens” therefore somehow remains unanswered
