The Monday Morning Memo

Beagle_Steinbeck_WaterLife_780

Okay, on the previous page we saw Marianas Trench making fun of contemporary Pop songs.
But that’s not the first time it’s been done. Nope. Not by a long shot. The first time was 43 years ago (1972) when an Italian, Adriano Celentano, made up a song of complete gibberish, which to him sounded like American pop music lyrics. The title of the song – Prisencolinensinainciusol – isn’t a word in any language on earth. Give the video a look as Adriano teaches a roomful of Italian kids how to be American rock stars. And keep in mind that this video was created 33 years before YouTube came into existence.
You go, Adriano. – Indy

Random Quote:

“The sun is rising like it isn’t street legal. The sun is coming up sneaky. Finding not a single cloud behind which it might take cover, it seems hesitant, furtive, afraid to pop its clutch. The feeling is contagious. As soon as it dawns on you that this is not only a holiday but also the morning after the worst day of your life, you dive back into bed and cover up your head. If, however, you fear you will only lie there and fret, you are pleasantly mistaken. By the time the sun drags its tailpipes over the speed bump of the horizon, you are sound asleep again.”

- Tom Robbins, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, p. 56 (1994)
