Ando a tentar perceber porque é que ainda me dou ao trabalho de ir ao Lux. Ultimamente parece que não há mesmo mais nenhuma discoteca em Lisboa tal é a fila para entrar. Esperar meia hora ao frio para pagar um preço exorbitante para entrar num sítio atafulhado qual carruagem de metro japonesa, começa a parecer-me uma grandessíssima estupidez. Lá dentro mal se respira, conseguir uma bebida é um teste à paciência zen, mas o melhor mesmo é não beber porque a fila para a casa de banho dá vontade de correr para o rio. A música tem momentos mas é, em geral, má isto é, para não ofender susceptibilidades, não é do meu agrado.
E pior. Está cheio de crianças.
Para além do ridículo que é ir para uma discoteca às 4 da manhã, sair de lá às 8 intoxicada em fumo para o sol do dia seguinte, cruzarmo-nos com as pessoas que vão trabalhar sentindo a vergonha da futilidade e principalmente do desperdício de tempo. O dia seguinte já está estragado com os sonos trocados.
Em países escandinavos sai-se do trabalho às 17, lá para as 21 já tá tudo nos bares com os amigos. Numa noite muita maluca ainda dá para ir a uma discoteca e apanhar o night bus da 1 para casa...
Ai, a idade não perdoa. Quem havia de dizer que eu ia sair assim tão conservadora?
Agora esqueçam tudo o que eu disse: Dezperados a bombar próxima sexta... no Lux. Por favor não apareçam.

so tell the girls that I am back in town
Na sexta à noite fui ouvir o Jay Jay Johanson, um dos poucos concertos para o qual, em cima da hora ainda se podia comprar bilhete! 3 horas depois de eu chegar, depois de ter ouvido 3 bandas portuguesas electrónicas, lá apareceu o sueco com um certo ar androide e um sorriso que mais parecia um esgar, aparentemente depois de ter feito uma fita "ou toco agora ou vou-me embora" passando à frente dos Producers (boring boring!). Chamem-lhe vedeta mas a verdade é que tudo começou com mais de uma hora de atraso e o gajo é sueco pá!
Atacou logo so tell the girls that I am back in town e a 2 metros do Jay Jay eu já parecia a maior fan de todos os tempos! De repente dei por mim a cantar todas as músicas... a letra saía da minha boca quase involuntariamente. Nem eu sabia que sabia tantas músicas dele! A voz é magnífica. A aura androide impedia-me de desviar o olhar para o que quer que fosse e o concerto parecia ter sido feito para mim...
If you'd pick up the phone I would tell you
The most beautiful words I know
If you'd answer now I would say it to you
Over and over again
Moshi moshi, escuto?

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
(the end. Baz Luhrmann, The Sunscreen Song in "Baz Luhrmann Presents Something For Everybody", 1998?)

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund.
Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.

Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings.
They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines.
They will only make you feel ugly.

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
