A melhor descoberta dos últimos anos
Orchestra Baobab. No activo desde 1970. Hei-de escrever um texto sobre esta orquestra quando estiver mais liberto de deveres familiares.

Memento mori
Up on the hill
in their little boxes
so many sons
just as many daughters
in their little boxes
so many sons
just as many daughters
Up on the hill
under their crosses
all of certain age
among ferns, mosses
Up on the hill
in neat close lines
no vote no color
no humor, assigns
Up on the hill
beyond the trees
without breathing
nor the songbirds
hearing
nor watching the bees
Up on the hill
clean of green growth
families leave flowers
this side of memory moat
Up on the hill
where the thrushes breed
those there grant us
one more day to live

True blue
Uma canção sobre aquelas antemanhãs em que regressamos a casa embriagados pela nossa (ou pela vossa) solidão?

Bad Jewish boy
If he had gone off solely to become a doctor, driven only by that high moral ardor, or, if he had just gone around impersonating a pornographer, spewing only that anarchic and alienating rage, he wouldn’t have been my man. He has two dominant modes: his mode of self-abnegation, and his fuck-’em mode. You want a bad Jewish boy, that’s what you’re going to get.

Alquimia
The idea is to perceive your invention as a reality that can be understood as a dream. The idea is to turn flesh and blood into literary characters and literary characters into flesh and blood.

Goodbye to All That?
But history records that there is nothing so powerful as a fantasy whose time has come.
