BREAKING BAD: Gale sings "Crapa pelada"
I know.
You don’t love TV series.
They require patience, a compulsive sense of binge-watching that seemingly contradicts the term "patience."
You probably don’t appreciate my personal imprint on the genre - that is "Sons of Anarchy" - nor the sublime narrative heights reached by many objectively unforgettable series: from "Black Mirror," "Fargo," "Westworld," "Handmaid's Tale," and, to get closer to what I want to say, "Better Call Saul."
Which is a "costola" (Spin-Off for you ignorant ones) of that masterpiece known as "Breaking Bad."
From which this little song is taken that I’m going to share my usual nanetto (anecdote) about, to which, as usual, you won’t believe.
It must have been 1979, and through a classmate whose brother was a choreographer in the opera field (he took me to see "Tosca" in the backstage of the Arena di Verona), I found myself in Milan at Lino Patruno's apartment.
There were a lot of famous people – I particularly remember an amazing Marenco – and he, Lino, was playing this piece on the guitar like a madman, at incredible speed!!!
Hearing it referenced in a famous American TV series made me reflect on how great we Italians could be if we weren’t such assholes who throw ourselves away. Yuk!
