I don't have the age to have seen Mac at the peak of his form (and probably, even if I had, I wouldn't have seen him since I've never followed tennis). However, I have seen some specials about him on TV. Unfortunately, even sports (like many other things) seem to me, by now, stripped (completely or almost) of any shred of poetry. I can no longer follow football, which is so popular in this country: I find it disgusting for how it's lived, for how it's vivisected, and for the (non)characters that populate it.

You're right, from what I've seen, Mac is a product of an era where true champions were "bigger than their sport" (to quote Sugar Ray Leonard when talking about Ali), where through technical gestures, through the way they interacted with the media, one had the impression that they were expressing (also) themselves, their personal "philosophy."

On your page, I read what you've said with your skill, passion, and poetry. A page with four quarters of nobility.

I, Lulù, remain convinced that to give your best you need more space, more lines to stretch your creativity... and yet that "in the center of things, if you ever happen to be there, it’s all full of echoes and mirrors" opens breaches and inspires connections... in short, it's not impossible that I might steal it and reuse it (here on DeB or elsewhere)...

On one hand "yes" because I like the pages that weave music with personal feelings/images/memories...
On the other hand "no" because I find it a bit too focused on you, a bit too unbalanced (and I would have removed the final postscript)...
Well, I would have included it in the editorials...

I'm not exactly an expert on soul or funk, but not long ago I watched a documentary about James Brown that featured some live clips... saying "dynamite!" doesn't quite capture the essence... and the page is really beautiful (ex) white boy...

It seems to me that "sober" is not quite the right word to describe the Lady in the sleepwalking scene, and for the reasons you indicate: in fact, it is "a moment of deep introspection and remorse, which technically requires perfect vocal control to credibly recreate the vocality of a woman overwhelmed by failure and approaching death."

I am speaking to you exclusively from a theatrical point of view (I don't know the Verdi opera), and while I may agree on the composure of voice (and I would add movements) to increase (by contrast) the unease of the scene, the actress portraying her must have a subtext that expresses the torn soul of the Lady, her having crossed a certain line beyond which only suicide will remain.

And all of this MUST come across; it is an only apparent sobriety where one must give the feeling that it could shatter with every word and every movement, and where the deep turmoil that animates her must transparently show through.

So, controlled yes, but "sober" no.
