You're Right and I'm Right and We're All Right

I wanted to expand a bit on points I was making in another thread about the Olympics Opening Ceremony controversy. There is a bit of brilliance there that needs to be better appreciated. (I still haven't fully watched the ceremony - I didn't realize that it was my job to lay eyes on the French and watch them.) 

Apparently (and let me know if I'm wrong) the Last Supper tableaux drag show was an ongoing event in Paris - just a regular part of Parisian life. Then they decided to add the singer playing Dionysus, as a special guest, for the Olympics opening ceremony only. 

So, after the fact, show management denies it was a Last Supper show, and they are right: it wasn't. And the drag queen ensemble says it was a Last Supper show, and they are right: it was. Everyone is right, no matter what they might say. 

There's no need for anyone to coordinate talking points, no one can discredit what anyone did, and there are no conspiracies worth mentioning. No matter what anybody might say about their participation in the show, they are always right. Finding fault is as hard as nailing Jello to the wall. 

It's show-business Teflon of the finest quality - like modern-day chain mail. It's brilliant! We need more of this!

And that is why Bardin, who performs as the drag queen Paloma, felt it was meaningful and important to be part of a Paris Olympics opening ceremony that presented a multifaceted, multiethnic France with people of different ethnicities and orientations. 

“It was a really important moment for the French people and the representation of France around the world,” says Paloma, who took part in a single scene that has drawn some furious criticism — including from presidential candidate Donald Trump in the United States, who called it “a disgrace.”
