Qualche giorno fa mi trovavo alla deriva senza speranza né meta nel MediaWorld locale (avevo un appuntamento dopo il lavoro e, in piena conferma delle leggi di Murphy, l’unica volta che dovevo fermarmi fino a tardi sono stato obbligato a uscire prima…), quando sono caduto in pieno in una trappola tesa sicuramente apposta per me dal commesso del reparto musica (e penso anche di conoscerlo): tra i dischi (e parlo di vinili 33 giri) ce n’è uno che risplende di luce propria: lui, l’immenso Violator. Tutto succede in pochi secondi: io lo guardo, lui mi guarda. Io mi avvicino a lui, lui si avvicina a me. Io lo prendo tra le mie braccia, lui prende me tra le sue. Infine, da lì a poco usciamo insieme dal negozio, mano nella mano.
16.90 € cambiano invece residenza, e si trasferiscono dalle mie tasche alle capienti casse del locale, ma non importa: I still believe in love at first sight…

È un po’ che non scrivo, anche se avrei molte cose da dire, forse troppe, ma sento di dover mettere tutto da parte per onorare quel poco che posso la memoria di qualcuno che ieri ci ha lasciati:
The man who signed Joy Division, Happy Mondays passes away
Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack today (August 10) at the age of 57.
Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester.
He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, signing the Happy Mondays.
Wilson passed away on this evening in the hospital after suffering a heart attack that his doctor said was unrelated to his recent battle with cancer.
Professor Robert Hawkins, his doctor at Christie hospital, told the Guardian: “It’s very sad. He died as a result of something unrelated to his cancer. His cancer was responding well to treatment but obviously did contribute to his poor health”.
Ciao, Tony, sono contento di avere avuto il piacere almeno di vederti, una volta.

I am happy
That I have you
Even though you’re not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it’s definitely not of me
It doesn’t matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I’m praying
That we’re staying
Together
I am warmed by
Your friendship
Even when you’re far away
And I’m happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don’t pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy
If we should meet again
Don’t try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don’t move a muscle
I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
I’m embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Because I don’t deserve any
It doesn’t matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I’m praying
That we’re staying
Together

Looking for to save my, save my soul
Looking in the places where no flowers grow
Looking for to fill that God shaped hole
Mother, mother sucking rock and roll
Holy dunc, spacejunk coming in for the splash
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
White dopes on punk staring into the flash
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
Looking for the baby Jesus under the trash
(Been around back… Been around front)
Mother, mother sucking rock and roll
Bubble popping, to the rock and roll, mother
Mother, am I still your son?
You know I’ve waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother, you left and made me someone
Now I’m still a child, no one tells me no
Looking for a sound that’s going drown out the world
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
Looking for the father of my two little girls
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
Got the swing, got the sway, got my straw in lemonade
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made
(Been around the back… Been around the front)
Mother, mother sucking rock and roll
Hopping, popping, shopping, dropping, it’s rock and roll
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Fool me brother
Woo me sister
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Show me mother
Ciao, Francesco.

Non chiedetemi come l’ho trovata, ma è geniale!
Load up on lawyers and bring your pens,
Ot’s fun to sue and to defend
Their over-lead and un-assured
Oh no, I have some dirty work
[Chorus:]
Hello, Hello, Hello, I’ll sue
Hello, Hello, Hello, I’ll sue
Hello, Hello, Hello, I’ll sue
Hello, Hello, Hello, I’ll sue
It’s a big name corporation
In a smaller publication
And it’s stupid and annoying
For this big name corporation
A lawyer, and a foreman, and a bailiff, an attorney, yay
I’m worse at what I do best,
And in this trial, I feel blessed
This little group has always been
And always will until the end
[Chorus]
And I forgot just why they sued,
oh yeah I guess it’s because of that,
I found it hard,
it was just hard to see,
This court has no democracy,
[Chorus]
A judge, and a judge, and a judge, and a judge, and a judge
