Mia nonna Gina si chiamava in realtà Virginia (cosa che permette ancor oggi a mio padre di affermare in piena coscienza Non viaggio molto ma sono stato nove mesi in Virginia ) e trattava su tutto il trattabile. Io da piccolo mi vergognavo ad andare al mercato -e soprattutto nei negozi- con lei perchè chiedeva sconti di continuo e lottava anche sulle duecento lire, e tirava dritto sorridendo finchè non la spuntava (sorrideva spessissimo e rideva spesso, della grossa [l'ultima volta che l'ho vista viva ero da solo con lei in Rianimazione e le ho detto Porca boia nonna sei piena di fili e di lucine, sembri un flipper e lei ha risposto ridendo e tutta stimandosi Hai visto come mi badano bene? ]). Poi ho Gina realized that my grandmother had canned the effects of two world wars and the debts that had built a house, while I and the wars have found the house I have made a bit now and then 'I am ashamed because I was ashamed. He often skips or piada and homemade pasta for three families and we always said what he had saved her instead of making them buy them.
Nonna Gina opposed to this audience consists of private saving generosity (as well as its attention) from the "retirement", a small sum which he gave to us when the grandchildren came to the board and small loans that made us laugh and called it "at the bottom lost. "
I did when I was twenty-one years the university, I played bass in a group here in the area (and a little 'further on) and told her I had thirty thousand lire in my grandmother Gina (and even if they would give me Meas, that time I wanted to give it back [I do not remember why]).
Around that time, also tried to be a rock star and die young leave a beautiful corpse, and I also went to a lot of concerts, I began to like the Smashing Pumpkins when they still had the blond bass player (the one time I placed strategically in the midst of a bunch of girls like this when I was leaving the casino menavano lot and the first note these have become frenzied that I have got elbowed for hours in the noble organs [that I remember In the limit thought I wanted to die on stage, not in front ]), Soundgarden ( I'm sorry to say profit, Soundgarden, who have pulled the Sassetti gravel [from the speakers felt that the "tick tick" on the plates battery], because in general sounds very nice except for the bassist who was more dead than alive [and then when they make mistakes all the time and we rattled public should not just make us some money as a gesture to say "You have paid to be here"; I believe that after you pull the Sassetti gravel. And then, Soundgarden, he still in the end we pulled him down-that I have never seen a Fender Precision ground with that speed and be heat-so sorry but I think we're even. ]) , Pearl Jam (which we got out of this huge place where the concert was a near-gray-gray city and the first three hours while we waited outside, in small groups, beyond the barriers [to twenty meters from us] that there were people playing soccer and a little 'they passed the ball awkwardly. At one point, the ball bounces wrong, I bounce over the barriers and close, then closer to five- one of those six feet beyond the barriers [had a half-open jacket and saw a white arrow on the top of the black T-shirt, sunglasses and a cap,], raise your hand and see when I see it shows me the ball. I thought Now I'll show you how we play the Italians, now dribbling and send you the right there right then instead I said there should be figures do not, I amphibians, I just stopped and pulled a plate with comfortable and convenient he raised his hand again to say thanks and I raised my hand as if to say Quiet [ but I think you should not be in type to mount the stage, or attached to a mixer? ]. Then three hours have passed and Eddie Vedder took the stage alone with a guitar to do The Kids Are Alright The Who first support group, because Eddie Vedder is a gentleman and is a fan of The Who. And Eddie Vedder had his shirt of Live at the Marquee The Who like mine [that I had brought my ex-girlfriend at the time when London was not ex and then my mother would have thrown away, to which I thought I wanted throw away her but then I changed my mind] and a cap,. And Eddie Vedder had black T-shirt-like mine-the white arrow at the top of The Who written and then I realized and I told the first one I found beside me Technically, I played ball with Eddie Vedder and this [was that an unknown person] told me Technically, it should be to hell ) and other groups that I will not say no if seem verbose.
At one point it turns out that Nirvana were in Italy and group Let me say? and I say No look, I'd love to but I'm in, I have to give thirty thousand pounds to my grandmother, it will be for the next time you are in Italy Nirvana and they are gone.
Then Kurt Cobain shot himself in the face and all we were quite disappointed, I particularly (but I was also very pleased because I had given back the thirty thousand pounds to my grandmother Gina, even if not wanted, and I found it hard to return.)
Since that time, I am convinced that if there is something after death, Kurt Cobain when I die if I meet do not have time to tell him what the fuck Kurt But I understand everything but you were a child and then if you shoot in the face, not there, not leave a beautiful corpse he interrupts me and says Sit down your grandmother has treated and still smile and smile and treated until I agreed to play for you two hours, when t'avrei met. Gave me fifteen thousand lire.
