Roberto Vecchioni Per un Vecchio Bambino 1977 "For a very long time, even without realizing it, I was just trying to be my father, who was a charming guy, a player, a bit of a poet, a bit intriguing, and a bit of a slacker... a character somewhere between Rimbaud and Fitzgerald. My father was amoral; he didn't care about anything. I, on the other hand, am very moral, though not in a Catholic sense. I feel a tremendous divide between good and evil. The moment I managed to detach from him, I started to free myself from that influence. Yes, it’s absolutely necessary to kill the paternal figure. Or at least to castrate it, as the myth of Uranus tells, and that myth is at the root of everything. Castrating the father not so much because, as Freud said, it takes away the mother from you, but mainly because it takes away the strength from yourself." But the phrase "a blow to the world and a blow to you, who astonished a little more?" I've always associated with my older brother, who lost the game a long time ago.
