Drink con il topo

Cena

A Comacchio, ristorante La Comacina, all'aperto, sul canale.
Spaghetti con le capesante, discreti.
Poi una ombrina al forno da 1 kg (nel senso di 10 etti), con verdure. Non male.
Il proprietario ha affermato di averla comprata da un pescatore la mattina stessa.

Sabato e domenica: mille giochi con Tommaso.

Weekly song

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

Con un po' di ritardo

Tom Waits e' un istrione.
E Vinicio Capossela era tra il pubblico ad imparare.

L'iniziale "Good evening" da' i brividi.
Poi, come un vecchio circense, batte i piedi sul tavolaccio di legno al centro del palco seguendo la musica del suo gruppo.
Mi stavo emozionando per "I Hope I don't fall in love with you" e "Hang down your head".
Quando ha attaccato "Rain dogs" sono saltato sulla sedia


Tom Waits Lyrics
Rain Dogs Lyrics

Governa gli applausi del pubblico come un direttore d'orchestra.
Quindi si siede al pianoforte, le luci si abbassano e la voce si spande come il motore di una Ferrari.
Ammicca in milanese (racconta che qualcuno la sera prima lo ha chiamato per strada: "Hey Tom" "Hey Tom", lui "So what?", e infine l'altro "Ma va via el ciapa").
Racconta qualche boutade sui cinesi e sulle microcar (dovrebbero avere gli altoparlanti, ma non dentro l'auto, bensi' fuori, cosi' al semaforo lui con la sua voce potrebbe mimare il motore sgasando: vrooom, vrooom, ....).
Speravo cantasse "Time".
Quindi torna sul tavolaccio e i ritmi si rialzano.
1 bis di 3 canzoni, dopo che le braccia facevano male per applaudirlo e spingerlo a tornare fuori.

Q: What is a gentleman?
A: A man who can play the accordion, but doesn't.

Q: Favorite Bucky Fuller quote?
A: "Fire is the sun unwinding itself from the wood".

Q: What do you wonder about?
A:
01. Do bullets know whom they are intended for?
02. Is there a plug in the bottom of the ocean?
03. What do jockeys say to their horses?
04. How does a newspaper feel about winding up papier-mache?
05. How does it feel to be a tree by a freeway?
06. Sometimes a violin sounds like a Siamese cat; the first violin strings were made from cat gut- any connection?
07. When is the world going to rear up and scrape us off its back?
08. Will we humans eventually intermarry with robots?
09. Is a diamond just a piece of coal with patience?
10. Did Ella Fitzgerald really break that wine glass with her voice?

Pranzo

Alla Pescheria da Claudio.

Heat

Rivisto ieri sera in dvd.
Non lo vedevo dal 1995, al cinema, dove rimasi per due proiezioni di seguito (non succedeva dai tempi di ET).

Molto bravo Jon Voight.
Pacino come al solito shakespeariano nelle intepretazioni drammatiche.
De Niro impeccabile, a parte quella faccia schifata che ogni tanto ci mette in mezzo.
Grande come al solito Danny Trejo.

Il film e' di quelli che mi piacciono.
L'unica cosa da evitare: i (pochi per fortuna) dialoghi tra Hanna e McCauley.

I nomi dei personaggi sono favolosi: Waingro su tutti, poi Cheritto, Bosko, Van Zant, ...

Per una volta sono d'accordo con lui.
Ecco il giudizio su Lucignolo.
