"Eu devia agradecer ao Senhor, por ter me conceddo o domingo, para ir com a família no Jardim Zoiológico, dar pipoca aos macacos..."
(Raul Seixas, Ouro de Tolo)
Mas, como não vai dar pra ir, deixo os meus mais sinceros votos de boas listas e felizes passeios novos. Espero que o ano que vem chegue ainda nesse e que não faça como esse, que ensaiou, ensaiou e na hora do show... desafinou.
Espero que ele venha trazendo pra você tudo que ficou devendo. Isso inclui aquela coisa toda de paz, amor, saúde, tesão, grana, alegria, casos, acasos e descasos, verdades e mentiras, maturidade e imaturidade, fome e vontade de comer.
O convite continua de pé
As mãos continuam limpas
O coração permanece aberto
O projeto de vida ainda inclui o combinado
O passado já é distante
Portanto, VIVA!
VIVA A VIDA, QUERIDA MARTIN!
Abrace crianças, adultos, novos e velhos amigos, mas inimigos não... pode ser perigoso demais.

E, se depois de tudo e de todos, um anjo careado aparecer na sua frente perguntando do que você se lembra, por favor, me inclua. Diga que se lembra que, juntos, fizemos muitas farras, nos divertimos bastante, viajamos, discutimos, fomos ridículos e brilhantes, irreverentes e irresponsáveis, reverentes e responsáveis, comparsas e adversários, marido e mulher, amigo e amiga, gordo e magro, alto e baixo, certo e errado, 96 e 69, petulantes e humildes, odientos e amorosos, ativos e passivos, assertivos e complacentes.
Diga que fizemos loucuras deliciosas, que saímos às compras, nos shoppings, nos supermercados, nas lojas de doces e de lingeries. Não se esqueça de lembrar que fomos marrentos e condescendentes, machistas e feministas, macho e fêmea, masculino e feminino, certo e errado, dúvida e certeza, corpo e alma.
E também que, juntos, enfrentamos demandas, batalhas, revezes, perdas, danos, mas sempre com fé e entusiasmo. Com força e com coragem, sem medo algum do desconhecido.
Mas, se ainda assim, o anjo careado pedir que você resuma a nossa ópera, diga-lhe, simplesmente:
"Ainda bem que esse pesadelo terminou".
ou... simplesmente diga:
Feliz Natal e um 2009 bacana, seu anjo de meia tigela!
Life is a lemon... and I want my money back!
It's all or nothing,
and nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on,
I burn it up and burn it out
It's always something,
there's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee,
that's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack,
everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And all the morons and all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules,
it's not a game,
it's just a rout
There's desperation,
there's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes and
no detergent gets it out
And we're always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
What about love?
It's defective - it's always breaking in half
What about sex?
It's defective - it's never built to really last
What about your family?
It's defective - all the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
They're defective - all the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
It's defective - it's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
It's defective - it's tattered and it's frayed
What about your Gods?
They're defective - They forgot the warranty
What about your town?
It's defective - it's a dead end street to me
What about your school?
It's defective - it's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
It's defective - it's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
It's defective - it's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
It's defective - and you can shove it up your ass!
I want my money back - life is a lemon
I want my money back - life is a lemon, life is a lemon
It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack, everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And we're always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Back, back, back, back!
I want my money back,
I want my money back - life is a lemon
WHAT ABOUT MEAT LOAF?
Marvin Lee Aday was a singer and occasional actor who, for reasons never definitively answered, recorded under the name Meat Loaf. In all likelihood a childhood nickname, the tag stuck, and many puns followed as the performer -- who tipped the scales at well over 300 pounds -- became one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970s before enjoying a commercial renaissance two decades later.
Meat Loaf was born in Dallas, TX. The product of a family of gospel singers, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and formed a group known as both Meat Loaf Soul and Popcorn Blizzard. The band earned some renown through opening gigs in support of the Who, the Stooges, and Ted Nugent before Meat Loaf won a role in a West Coast production of the musical Hair. During a tour stop in Detroit, he and a fellow castmate named Stoney teamed to record the 1971 LPStoney & Meat Loaf for Motown's Rare Earth imprint.
After a tenure in the off-Broadway production Rainbow (In New York), Meat Loaf earned a slot in More Than You Deserve, a musical written by classically trained pianist Jim Steinman. An appearance in the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show followed, and in 1976 Meat Loaf also handled vocal duties on one side of Nugent's LP Free-for-All. Soon, Meat Loaf reteamed with Steinman for a tour with the National Lampoon Road Show, after which Steinman began composing a musical update of the Peter Pan story titled Never Land.
Ultimately, much of what Steinman composed for Never Land became absorbed into 1977's Bat Out of Hell, the album that made Meat Loaf a star. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the record was pure melodrama, a teen rock opera that spawned three Top 40 singles -- "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" -- on its way to becoming one of the best-selling albums of the decade.
A sequel was planned, but in 1981 Steinman issued his own solo debut, Bad for Good. After Meat Loaf released his own follow-up,Dead Ringer, rumors began flying, and it was reported that Loaf had been unable to record the songs that comprised the Steinman album due to physical and emotional problems. Eventually, Steinman filed suit against Meat Loaf and his label, Epic, and none of his songs appeared on the 1983 Meat Loaf effort Midnight at the Lost and Found. After subsequent records like 1984's Bad Attitude and 1986'sBlind Before I Stop bombed, the singer declared bankruptcy and began physical and psychological rehabilitation to restore his road-ravaged voice.
After several years in relative obscurity, Meat Loaf and Steinmanreunited in 1993 for Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, which continued the original's story line and duplicated its thunderous sound. The follow-up proved almost as successful as the first Bat Out of Hell, selling over five million copies and yielding a massive hit single with "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." WithoutSteinman, he returned in 1995 with Welcome to the Neighborhood. The career-long concert compilation Live Around the World followed one year later, but Meat Loaf released no more new material until well into the 2000s. Finally he recorded Couldn't Have Said It Better, which was released on Sanctuary in 2003. Three years later, after resolving the disputes surrounding its release, Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose came out -- sans Steinman, though many of his songs were used, which was what caused the problems in the first place -- tracks from which were added to the production of Loaf's Bat Out of Hell play.

Ah!!!
ResponderExcluirQuerida Martin no pedaço. E por que não dizer, na pista? Aí sim, passo o anjo e fica observando...
Aliás, ele nem passa. Já é permanente. Ajudou-me a atravessar rios, subir muitas escadas. Tá dentro! E permanece por causa dos fortes ventos.
Pesadelos, passado, resumo da ópera que não desafinou não. Fez pausa, dissonância...
Mas a gente tava lá e viu tudo. Fomos e desfomos...
Você foi comparsa. Aí sim! Viu-se metido em bons e maus lençóis. Mas deitou na cama de prego comigo. E dái surgiu um novo tempo.
Se fui ou estou sendo uma visceral história, daquelas boas, que ficam e têm profundidade e marcas, maiores ou menores que outras do passado, que importa?
O que vale é comer mais um quilo de sal junto e caminhar a segunda milha. Não desistir!
O anjo não terá sido de meia tijela. Você não terá perdido seu tempo. E nós não seremos apenas personagens de uma louca obra de amor.
Vira a página. Continua...
2009 vai precisar de muito marcador de texto.
Beijos impressos forever
