Muddy Waters

Plimbându-se pe blues-ul pur cu bastonul într-o mână şi ţigara de foi în cealaltă.

Din înţelepciunea lui Tom Waits

• "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
• "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
• "Colder than a well digger's ass."
• "All the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes."
• "There ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk."
• "I don't need no make-up, i got real scars, i got hair on my chest, i look good without a shirt."
• "I've got a bottle for a trumpet, a hatbox for a drum..."
• "Driving dangerous women over dirty sheets."
• "The Moon ain't romantic. It's intimaditing as Hell."
• "I did my time in the jail of your arms."
• "Drivin' dangerous curves across the dirty sheets."
• I climb through the window and down to the street.. I'm shining like a new dime. The downtown trains are full... full of all those Brooklyn girls. They try so hard to break out of their little world... You wave your hand and they scatter like crows..."
• "I'd like to go drowning, but the ocean doesn't want me today."

Cum ar fi ? II

O parte din mine isi doreste sa ma fi nascut negru. Adica de culoare. Adica afro-american ( poate in Chicago, poate prin anii '30 ). Asta numai pentru a simti Jazz-ul si Blues-ul asa cum numai creatorii sai l-au simtit. Nu e de ajuns ca-mi place, vreau sa-l CUNOSC.

In alta ordine de idei, nimeni nu poate spune " I've got the blues" cu mai multa sinceritate si simtire ca Miles Davis. Nu poti nici macar concepe de ce ii dadeau lacrimile pe scena in timp ce canta anumite melodii pentru ca nu i-ai trait viata.
Eu as fi vrut. Curiozitatea mea fara margini vrea sa ma puna in ghetou in anii '30 cu un pian in fata sau un saxofon in mana.

P.S. : Daca imi arunca cineva cocktailuri Molotov in curte diseara, sa-l(o) ia dracu.
