PIERO MANZONI - Linee - 1959 - 1961

http://www.pieromanzoni.org/opere_linee.htm

... al contrario delle linee percorse in moto, le "Linee" di Manzoni sono "chiuse nell’astuccio e - metaforicamente - chiuse in se stesse" ... chi va in moto credo cerchi altre cose ...

----

On the contrary of the routes drove on our motorcycles, the Manzoni's "Lines" are "closed in a case and - metaphorically - closed in themselves" ... I think that who ride a motorcycle is looking for other things ...

JOE COCKER - "Sticks and stones"

People talkin', tryin' to break us up
Why don't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

(No) People talkin', tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people might say
I'm never gonna let you go

I've been abused (I've been abused)
In my heart (I've been accused)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been rebuked and I've been stomped

(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up
They're scandalizing my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
They'll say anything to make me shamed

I've been abused (I've been abused)
In my heart (I've been accused)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been rebuked and I've been stomped

(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up
They're scandalizing my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
They'll say anything to make me shamed

MIO NONNO FOSCO - MY GRANDFATHER FOSCO

Questo distinto ragazzo è mio Nonno Fosco sulla sua inseparabile motocicletta, utilizzata come era uso in quei tempi al posto dell'automobile per qualunque cosa: ancora mi racconta della pioggia, del freddo arginato con il giornale o il cartone sul torso, sotto i maglioni e i cappotti; lo ricorda sempre con affetto, nonostante le intemperie.

Le storie legate alle moto raccontatemi da lui e da mia nonna mi hanno intrigato e fatto compagnia per anni.

Mio Nonno è l'archetipo della mia vocazione motociclistica e grande maestro di vita, mi ha insegnato la rettitudine e la semplicità delle cose.

Immenso!!!

This pleasant guy is my Grandfather Fosco on his inseparable motorcycle, used as was customary in those days instead of the car for anything: still tells me the rain, the cold dammed with newspaper or cardboard on his torso, under sweaters and coats; always remember him with affection, despite the weather.

The stories related to bikes tell me that he and my Grandmother were intrigued and kept her company for years.

My Grandfather is the archetype of my vocation motorcycle and a great teacher of life, taught me the righteousness and the simplicity of things.

Immense!

JOHNNY CASH - God's Gonna Cut You Down

You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time, run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well, my goodness gracious let me tell you the news

My head's been wet with the midnight dew

I've been down on bended knee

Talkin' to the man from Galilee

He spoke to me in the voice so sweet

I thought, I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet

He called my name and my heart stood still

When he said, "John, go do my will"

Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time, run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand

Workin' in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made black and white

What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time, run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
