De choses élégantes

La vie ne fait pas toujours les choses très élégamment.

Ce matin à mon ordi, grozamour essaie une péripétie hors du commun, qui consiste à sauter de ma table de travail pour rejoindre son frêre, 2 étagères plus haut. Il avait mal visé, et me retombe dans les bras, tout paniqué. Tout s’est fait en une fraction de seconde, et moi j’ai rien vu.

Grozamour est toujours en un morceau, mais moi.. je me suis retrouvée avec une de ses griffes sur le nez.. vous imaginez d’ici de quoi je peux avoir l’air.. Et zut, une belle grafigne sur le bout du nez!
Quoi dire de plus, sinon que c’est assez embarrassant, surtout que là, je dois sortir pour aller voter, et demain, je devrai sûrement rencontrer des clients.

Bon bon, ya des choses pire que ca dans la vie… Espérons juste que dans 3 jours ça sera oublié…

    Excellent choices. Kind of weird to remember that all these groundbreaking artists were on major labels (Columbia, Warner, etc.) too, back in the day. And now most of them (the surviving ones, at least) are Elder Statespeople of Rock, who can get a Rolling Stone cover whenever they want.

    In a sense it’s like the spirit of those records (and those times) ar reflected by contemporary artists - you can’t hear Hot Hot Heat and not hear a bit of XTC, for instance.

    The late 70s / early 80s was a weird time; Vietnam had just ended, more or less, and the economy was in the dumpster: people in the States remember the OPEC crisis, gas lineups, “national malaise,” etc. In 1977 it seemed like Britain would explode - paralyzed by strikes, high inflation / recession, clashes between skinheads and immigrants, high youth unemployment.

    Which led to Thatcher and Reagan being elected, who both later broke powerful unions and created ‘recovery’ but at great social cost; arguably organized labour never recovered.

    There’s a great photo book, Images of Punk, by Denis O’Regan, that really captures the feeling of the times, it was incredibly politically charged, and several sub-movements all happening at the same time (punk, new wave, new romantic, the Blitz scene, etc.)
