Caso
Ad Ogni Buca

Vale: Oh Cri, do you remember when we came here the first time? It was when we were with your car, and you had just put in the new stereo?

C: Yeah, damn. It's true; you brought me the Nirvana CD. I had to learn the piece to play with the band.

V: By the way, you still have that CD. Remember to give it back to me, otherwise you'll go to Milan and never give it back to me.

C: But how, Vale? Didn't you say that you can't stand Nirvana anymore?

V: Yeah okay, but... I mean Nirvana is Nirvana. You can't just throw them away just because I discovered Pearl Jam later.

C: And anyway, all the times we came here this summer, there was never anyone...

V: Better that way! Damn, so they won't bother us if we listen to loud music.

C: Ahhhahh, like that time we went to the pool at night and got caught because they heard music.

V: Yeah, it's true. We were lucky we knew where to exit, otherwise, damn, they would have really caught us.

C: But who was with us that night?

V: Come on, don't you remember? It was us from the band; Ricca was missing because he went home earlier. He had to leave at 4 am the next day to go to the sea with his girlfriend.

C: So it was me, you, Toro, and Mimi?

V: Yeah, always us. Then the week after, we went to the cinema, and they didn't want to let us in.

C: Damn, yeah. Mimi drew a mustache on his chin to look older. Ahah.

V: There was that joke that made us laugh so much...

C: I remember, it was something like:

Why am I Mr. Pink?
Because you ARE A FAGGOT, alright?

V: Ahhhahahh, it's still funny...

C: And when we came out, it was raining cats and dogs, and no one had an umbrella. I didn't even want to let you into the car.

V: But what happened with the band? Do you still play?

C: Forget it. After we found the drummer to replace you, everyone slowly left the band. In the end, we couldn't even find a singer anymore, and now we haven't practiced in a month. And with the fact that now I have to go study in Milan, I quit too.

V: Too bad, but you know, in the end, we weren't really that good. Let's say we were lucky because we started playing all together, and we were all equally silly. If now I have a bit of skill on the drums, it's thanks to the band.

C: Yeah, also because you didn't study jack.

V: But have you sorted things out for Milan?

C: Maybe, I have to go tomorrow to see the room I found online. The rent is a bit high, but maybe there's another guy who has to come to see it. If we end up being more, we can split everything. I mean, if it costs me 700€ now, maybe with one more roommate, I can manage with 500.
Oh, by the way, do you want to go see Alter Bridge? I think the concert is in Bologna in a couple of months. It's around early November?

V: How much is it?

C: I think it's 50. Mimi's coming too.

V: I'll think about it. When are you getting the tickets?

C: He's going; maybe get in touch with him and coordinate.

V: But doesn't leaving bother you? I mean, you go there and don't know anyone...

C: Yeah, I know. But if I want to study guitar, I have to go there; it's the best school. Then there'll be people who play. I shouldn't have trouble fitting in.

V: Well, who knows. At least you're leaving with good memories.

C: It's true, but who says they remain? It's not something you decide. I didn't even remember who was there in that pool story.

V: But that's because you're an idiot...

C: No, come on, really, I didn't remember. But I remembered the movie line, I remember the chords of the songs. No, well, in that, you're better. Do you remember when you used to tell me the chords of the piece I wrote?

V: Come on, it was A minor, C, E minor, and D. Then in the distorted chorus, you'd replace E minor with G.

C: There's just too much stuff to remember, or maybe we didn't play it enough...

V: Maybe it's like we have a warehouse manager or a librarian in our heads, who doesn't always find memories. I mean, he puts them there, but then he puts other stuff on top and never organizes them, and in the end, he loses them. So if you go and ask him for a book, he'd say, "Meh. I don't remember where I put it..."

C: I don't remember where I put the memory...

V: Yeah, whatever, bye. You get what I mean, right?

C: Yeah, yeah, I understand.. Come on, let's go now that it's getting late. I have to prepare my stuff for tomorrow.

V: Remember that you also have to give me back that album I gave you of that guy we saw in June at the pub.

C: What was his name? Caso?

V: Yeah exactly, it was Caso.

C: I don't think I even listened to it.

V: I did, it's really good.
