foi Fado

Mísia
(1955 - 2024)

Foi o Pai. 
"Garras dos Sentidos", era este o nome do disco que ele trouxe. O primeiro que lhe ouvi. Diferente. Muito diferente. Fado mas sem ser. Ou sendo mais. Inesperada e completamente. Um amor feliz entre as ruas velhas de Paris, Buenos Aires e Lisboa. O fado triste do mal de vivre com sotaque a Piazzolla e cheirinho a maresia. 

E que tive a bênção de poder ouvir no São Luiz, o teatro mais bonito de Lisboa.

 A Música do Avô - XXXVII.

«How can I explain... These songs of persuasion rattling down some crazy Belfast street past renegade Bars and the writing on everybody's walls. It could be french poetry or the thunder talking... In the country you can see for miles just the moon sailing over the gipsy fields and the rain shining on the wire leading back to the city. I've got an old guitar on beatup shoes cigarette smoke curling up through the light of the piano lamp. Tangling these words together it's only natural... There's a lot of wild irish nights to burn. I'll see you soon... »

Not the Israel

« - Jews opressing others just to survive seems dicey. Unilaterally deciding the fates of foreign people and building walls around them is not good. I could argue that by holding on to the West Bank, the israelis are commiting something that is not only immoral but also self-destructive. I know that we Jews have been the most viciously persecuted ethnic group to survive. We were scattered from our homeland, yet after 2.000 years we've come back to regain some of it. But the palestinian arabs are not going anywhere. Their ancestors lived on the same land. They still live in Palestine. And as long as they do, they will fight for independence. And there will be ceaseless conflict.

I've got no idea how to resolve this thing, but if the main issues - like Jerusalem, the right of return, and possible reparations - aren't discussed, it's hard to imagine any progress being made.

It just seems like the Jews... that they are not making any serious effort, maybe both sides... But the Jews are certainly not making a serious effort to come up with a two-State solution, which is what most people want.

(...)

I mean the whole venture is so stupid. To put Jews in there... I mean, you're gonna put these scattered handfulls of Jews in Gaza or the West Bank... then you gotta put a bunch of army people there to guard'em... And you know they still... they still hate you. And the religious settlers are claiming that God gave them the land for all time. If that's the case, then show me the deed.»

Siga !

Hoje quis ver o filme. Amanhã vai querer fazer um Erasmus.

mais uma vez, a verdade

 

(ou quando se está num casamento e não se conhece quase ninguém, mas apanhamos alguém muito parecido connosco naquilo que verdadeiramente interessa na vida. E mesmo que tenha mais 30 anos que nós. Grande João ! )

Fausto (1948 - 2024)

No Alentejo, o pai quis ouvi-lo.

Trumped... not again...
