Es como la lluvia en una película muda, o como un barco en el fondo del mar, o como una galería de espejos a la hora de cerrar, o como la tumba del ventrílocuo mundialmente famoso, o como el rostro de la novia cuando se sienta a mear después de hacer el amor toda la noche, o como una camisa secándose en el tendal sin una casa a la vista… Bueno, vas pillando la idea. De 'El monstruo ama su laberinto', Charles SIMIC.

The coolest rock star in the world, ever is...

7/4/07 | |

Mi amigo Darko me recomendó una entrevista aparecida en NME, a uno de los más grandes guitarristas de todos los tiempos: Keith Richards. Aquí están algunos apartes:
My favourite new band is...

I ain't got any, they're all a load of crap
"Everyone's a load of crap. They're all trying to be somebody else and they ain't being themselves. The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party? Load of crap, load a crap. Posers, rubbish. There ain't nothing out there that's worth shit. I listen to the real shit, I don't listen to bullshit. I listen to my shit, baby, Motörhead, reggae, Moroccan music. All kinds of shit."

I want to make a record as good as...
'Heartbreak Hotel'
"I mean there's a million of them. I guess '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction''s got to be close, and 'Beast Of Burden' maybe, yeah, and 'Tumbling Dice', 'Honky Tonk Women'. I'm starting to reel them off and it's not fair to all my other babies."

The coolest rock star in the world, ever is...
Me!
"I mean, right, it goes without saying really, doesn't it? I mean
I don't think I'm cool, it's other people that tell me I'm cool, I'm just being who I am. Just be yourself is all I can say, the rest of it's a fucking joke. 'Elegantly wasted' blah-blah-blah, I've had all of that. If you've gotta be cool be cool with yourself. If you've gotta think about being cool, you ain't cool."
