“In the last analysis, a denial and cancellation of himself by an artist who all his life had worked for opposite end, to create an art combining the greatest spiritual and sensual power…Feurerbach’s war cry of “healthy sensuality,” sounded during the thirties and forties, seemed to Wagner…to be a new gospel.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, “The Genealogy of Morals”
In contemplating this passage I wondered what Nietzche, Wagner or Feurerbach would think of gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans (brother & sister). They found a why to express their earthly love for some one while maintaining gospel integrity. They are living proof that one does not necessarily negate the other.
