"A young ballsy girl in pigtails showed why the cowards of ISIS will never win"

Dear @ArianaGrande,
I'm sorry.
Love Piers. https://t.co/BNRQgXhmj6 pic.twitter.com/A3Hkr88mXx

"Last night you showed true grit and also why the cowards of ISIS will never win," writes British TV provocateur Piers Morgan in an open letter to U.S. pop star Ariana Grande, who laughed in the face of the Jihadi losers who had terrorized fans outside her original Manchester concert two weeks ago:

Last night I felt a surging sense of pride watching the bigger, better show than the one two weeks ago…

Then I chuckled to myself at the thought of how utterly enraged those pitiful ISIS douchebags must feel to see that their efforts to destroy our way of life, and force us to cower away in hiding, have been so roundly thwarted by a young ballsy girl in pigtails.

"My grandmother used to speak of the ‘Blitz Spirit’ whenever we spoke about her experiences during World War II when she was a young teenage girl," Morgan recalled:

The official dictionary definition is ‘stoicism and determination in a difficult or dangerous situation, especially as displayed by a group of people.’

You displayed that exact same spirit last night.

The inspirational 21st-Century "Blitz Spirit" of Ariana Grande and her mostly young, mostly female fans at the #OneLoveManchester benefit concert last night in the face of a mysogynous, totalitarian death cult called to mind Glenn Reynolds' provocative proposition that Elvis Presley was "The King of Anti-Fascism."

"Hitler used the tools provided by the new technology," Reynolds – AKA Instapundit – wrote back in August of 2002":

But Elvis owned them: radio, television, movies, it didn't matter: he conquered them all. And the changes that he brought about helped to topple totalitarian regimes, and make new ones less likely, for he left behind a changed culture that short-circuited the mechanisms that Hitler had used to secure power - and the mechanisms that other regimes used to maintain it.

Since Elvis, the bonding-and-catharsis element of mass media has expanded to outdo anything that any politician can deliver. We describe an especially popular politician today as looking "like a rock star," rather than the other way around, after all.

After Elvis, the commercial culture of rock and roll simply occupied the mindspace that totalitarians need, and it out-competed them.

The same holds wherever people try to tyrannize the minds of men and women. It's no wonder that the Taliban opposed dancing and Western music, and no wonder that the increasingly desperate mullahs of Iran are flogging people for dancing at birthday parties. They can't compete with the King and his descendants. And they know it.
