Lebanon’s Ziad Rahbani: Artist Gone, Sad Trombone Plays
Lebanon just lost one of its cultural superheroes, the playwright and musician Ziad Rahbani. The article tersely notes, 'Lebanon has lost one of its most beloved artists,' which is basically newspeak for 'Cue the national existential crisis playlist.' If art were a country, Ziad was its unofficial president and DJ—so now Lebanon might be stuck on repeat playing sad songs and intense monologues about life, death, and politics no one quite gets but everyone feels. Fine, we’re crying into our hummus now.
