Vic Chesnutt


Questo 2009 si chiude con una triste notizia. Notizia che ho appreso solo pochi minuti fa. Difficile giudicare. Difficile.... direi impossibile giudicare gesti così estremi. Vic era recidivo, ma ho sempre pensato che quando si arriva al punto di non ritorno, occorre un coraggio SPAVENTOSO. Non credo sia codardia o altro. Mi pare più un voler togliere il disturbo, come se uno si sentisse più un peso per se e per gli altri.
Dispiace molto, dispiacerà molto di più alle persone vicino a lui, che adesso avranno tremendi sensi di colpa.
Grazie Vic, il tuo genio ci ha regalato tanto.
Peccato sia finito così.
