What sort of mind can come up with a piece of music like that, blending all those instruments to produce a sound as amazing as that ? Pure genius

@Sargoy Of Mossad Strauss was inspired by Nietzsche's Zarthustra and Nietzsche was inspired to make that character by the real Zarthustra who couldn't be technically white as he wasn't European but rather Iranian. Zarthustra, the real one, laid the foundation of modern monotheistic faith and influenced Christianity, Islam and Judaism and most other faiths that followed. So whilst it is utterly wrong to say whites have no culture, it is equally wrong to believe that whites are the only ones to have it or a superior version of it.

2 seconds in I decided to like this, almost automatically.

[@ozzythecats]

In 1993 I had the pleasure of seeing Ric Flair wrestle for the first time in the same building this clip was recorded. He wasn't advertised and was still with WWF as far as I was concerned(this was a WCW show) After the opponents Pillman and Austin were introduced, I became aware of a low rumbling that sounded very familiar. As Ricky Steamboat appeared at the entrance, it became apparent that it was Ric Flairs music that was playing and a few seconds later the nature boy appeared and the Royal Albert Hall went bananas!

[@djaejones8785]

I mean there’s no way that I was the only one that was questioning if the Interstellar theme was about to begin
