“Planeta Água”, de Guilherme Arantes (MPB-Shell 1981)
Foi a maior marmelada da história dos festivais brasileiros de música quando “Planeta Água”, de Guilherme Arantes, ficou em 2º lugar no MPB-Shell 1981, mesmo exaltada e aclamada pelo público no Maracanãzinho. Mas o tempo mostrou qual música ficou no coração da gente.

Purpurina, canção de Jerônimo Jardim interpretada pela atriz e cantora Lucinha Lins, foi a primeira colocada do MPB-Shell 1981, e recebeu a maior vaia da história dos festivais. Foram cerca de dez minutos de demonstração de descontentamento – o público preferia Planeta Água, de Guilherme Arantes, que fora defendida pelo próprio autor. A canção obteve o segundo lugar, ficando em terceiro o samba Mordomia, de Ari do Cavaco e Gracinha, cantado por Almir Guineto. Lucinha Lins consagrou-se como a melhor intérprete. Os vencedores receberam prêmios em dinheiro.

2. E aqui uma visão diametralmente oposta. Vale a pena olhar os dois ângulos contraditórios dum tema.
«Why China Will Not Become the Dominant Power in Asia»
https://youtu.be/_AvNT3vyzr0 (em inglês)
Publicado no YouTube em 26 de março de 2015
Public Lecture by Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb and Adjunct Associate Professor John Lee.
The belief that China will soon become the dominant power in Asia is based on assumptions that its continued and rapid economic rise, and its emergence as a regional peer of America's in military terms is all but assured. Such a belief underpins arguments that a fundamental strategic reorganisation of Asia is inevitable, and that it will be necessary and perhaps even desirable to concede to China significant 'strategic space'. Dependent largely on linear extrapolations about the future, such arguments ignore the implications of China's economic, social and national fragilities, its lack of major friends or allies in the region as well as the considerable military deficiencies and challenges faced by the People's Liberation Army. With the Defence White Paper due for release in 2015, the government should bear in mind that planning for an era of Chinese dominance in the region—or even its emergence as an American strategic peer in Asia—would be premature if not improbable. Australia should not design its defence force for war with China, but it should be able to counter Chinese coercion and contribute to Allied military operations if necessary.
Paul Dibb is Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies in the Strategic & Defence Studies Centre, Coral Bell schol of Asia-Pacific Affairs, ANU. He was head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre from 1991 to 2004.

He studied the former Soviet Union for over 20 years both as a senior intelligence officer and academic. He advised ASIO on certain Soviet activities. His book The Soviet Union--the Incomplete Superpower was published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies , London in 1986, reprinted 1987 and second edition 1988.
John Lee is an Australian academic working on international economic and security affairs with a focus on the Asia-Pacific. Lee is an adjunct associate professor at the Australian National University's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, a Michael Hintze Fellow at the Centre for International Security Studies, University of Sydney and a senior scholar at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC.

EUA 🇺🇸 Como esconder um império
Excelente palestra em inglês de um historiador contando o que aconteceu em torno do ataque a Pearl Harbour e como transcorreu a Segunda Guerra no Oriente, ressaltando a postura americana em relação às suas colônias. Muito coisa interessante e surpreendente dessa palestra eu ignorava por completo.

Ask people to draw a connection between the words "America" and "colonies," and most will conjure up revolutionary images of 1776. But America's colonial history extends much further than the 18th century, and involves a different power dynamic, one in which America was the colonizer, not the colonized. For example, in 1945, the US claimed jurisdiction over more people living outside the States than inside them. In How to Hide an Empire, Northwestern professor Daniel Immerwahr traces the crucial yet oft-obscured role that US overseas territories have played in the development of the nation. From island colonies to military bases, Immerwahr will illuminate America's evolving influence abroad, giving crucial context for contemporary American foreign policy.
