Boh Runga1969/1970 (age45–46) is a New Zealand recording artist and was the lead singer and guitarist in New Zealand rock band Stellar. Boh is the older sister of Bic Runga and Pearl Runga who are also musicians.
Biography
Boh grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand. She is the daughter of Joseph Runga, a Maori ex-serviceman and Sophia Tang, a Chinese singer who abandoned her own music career in Malaysia to join Joseph in his home country. Joseph was a self-taught pianist and died in 2005 from a heart attack.
Boh left Christchurch for Auckland to form Stellar in the late 1990s. After signing with Sony Music, Stellar released their 1999 debut album Mix and quickly became Sony's biggest selling New Zealand band as the album went multi-platinum. Stellar also secured eight Tui Awards for Mix and its 2001 follow up Magic Line.
After the release of 'Magic Line' and the subsequent touring of New Zealand, Australia and Europe, Boh headed to Los Angeles in 2003 to hone her skills as a songwriter at the invitation of her LA-based music publishers, Chrysalis. She now lives in Los Angeles. Since 2003, she has been married to Campbell Smith, who is the manager for her sister Bic and chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand.
Escape from Freedom, known as The Fear of Freedom outside North America, is a book by the Frankfurt-born psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, first published in the United States by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. in 1941. In the book, Fromm explores humanity's shifting relationship with freedom, with particular regard to the personal consequences of its absence. His special emphasis is the psychosocial conditions that facilitated the rise of Nazism.
Summary
Fromm's concept of freedom
Fromm distinguishes between 'freedom from' (negative freedom) and 'freedom to' (positive freedom). The former refers to emancipation from restrictions such as social conventions placed on individuals by other people or institutions. This is the kind of freedom typified by the Existentialism of Sartre, and has often been fought for historically, but according to Fromm, on its own it can be a destructive force unless accompanied by a creative element, 'freedom to' the use of freedom to employ spontaneously the total integrated personality in creative acts. This, he argues, necessarily implies a true connectedness with others that goes beyond the superficial bonds of conventional social intercourse: "...in the spontaneous realization of the self, man unites himself anew with the world..."

n times where dragons flew over our hills, oppression of poor folks was a game of skill for the people in fur, for the people in robes, approved with a smile of their popes "Cross and sword" covered up this land like a shroud, a few people left the shade of the crown to live in their vans and with mother earth, and to give to the tyrant what tyrants deserve [Refrain:] So the king sent his soldieres - loyal veterans, on horses, in armour, with swords in their hands - to take our freedom, to destroy our dreams, to bind us in chains, in cold dungeons deep to ravage our homes, to break our bones, but never our spirit, our will and our songs - never our spirit, our will and our songs lalala - lalala - lalala ... 289 knights of the king started their attack while we did sing a song from our heart, "We don't need a crown" until their truncheons came down. Sir, what was the reason, did you get the sense for this act of power and violence, was it fear of free people, freedom, harmony or a question of authority? [Refrain] Years later the king hung down from an oak, a raven landed on the cold strangled bloke he ate first his eyes and later his nose - it's always the same how a king rules and goes... [Refrain:] To take our freedom, to destroy our dreams, to bind us in chains, in cold dungeons deep to ravage our homes, to break our bones, but never our spirit, our will and our songs to take our freedom, to destroy our dreams, to bind us in chains, in cold dungeons deep to ravage our homes, to break our bones, but never our spirit, our will and our songs
