Okay: Huggable Dust


Altro, soft-pop d'autore
Marty Anderson è uno sfigato con una voce quasi fastidiosa ma affascinante alla Windmill, che interpreta disperati e splendidi inni d'amore alla donna amata, appena persa a favore del suo miglior amico (bella zoccola).
Non solo.
E' uno sfigato afflitto dal morbo di Crohn, in un insieme di sangue e merda.
Non basta ancora.
E' uno sfigato che fa un grande disco, ma non se lo caga nessuno: 18 canzoncine, talvolta molto natalizie, in un insieme di stili musicali, che scorrono via che è un piacere.
L'ho sempre detto: "nella vita ci vuole anche culo. Tanto culo".
E Marty, apparte un po' di merda al culo, non ce l'ha davvero.
Peccato.
