- .. I have a mountain of internet work to do, but never get it done ..as in the morning I have to pack up and set off before it gets too hot. Walking needs so much attention ..I hardly listen to mp3then I have to rush around before things cl0se at 1pm, then I have to rest cos it's too hot, time disappears as I check email, supermarket, wash, was clothes, repair.
BTW .... this is what I originally wrote Tuscany ; Gambassi Termi Community festival until Sunday - If anyone is passing Gambassi Terme this week they can stop off and see a nontouristy festival at nights - yesterday as I came out of the valley bottom I could hear rock music, maybe a festival I thought. Pity I would miss it as the old refugio has closed and the new place is 2Km further at San Maria Chiani, but when I arrived at the refugio in the church building their minimum pelligrini price is a ridiculous 24€.
- So I turned back and headed to the music..wow what a change from the "beautiful Italy" now made ugly by over touristy expensive restaurants and souvenir shops. Locals have pizza park up nearby selling pizzas for 4.50€ and below there is a stage I saw two local bands and bought 3 cokes, french fries and a raffle ticket for 7€... and the locals are very friendly
- First was a young local heavy metal band - good to see that local young people are supported. Just a pity that people prefer to stay at home and watch artificial TV talent shows instead of supporting local youth who are doing something positive which keeps them out of trouble.
- Next was older local guys doing rock rapping .. Often in local dialect, and about things in their local area and even attacking their local church in their song Papa Boys, Papa Boys.
- This inspired this song ... Where I rap about people who do something bad .. And the crowd shout "Basta ....You Bastard !"
- "Oh yes I am the big man, who preaches : family, family, oh love the family then I steal all the countries resources for ME and my family.. Gadafi, Ben Ali, Asad from Syria we are all the same"
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
- "It's my pleasure to work in the government office
... cos pleasure ...the leisure... it's all mine, I don't want to serve you I serve myself.. You know what you hear when you arrive
...E ..Chuiso"
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
- "I control the TV to fuck you mind
... Hype and hype to keep you in a state of fear
.. And while you are watching that crap you don't see me steal ...and steal
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
- I lead that syndicate for my own game
... need to go somewhere, well that's tough ! shoppero, shoppero I won't let anyone drive that bus, shoppero won't help the members .. But I don't give a fuck !
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
Commerce and business it's my game... You're tourist not from around here and that's a shame, you forgot to as the price first so here's your 4� coffee... you wanna impress your girl so I know you won't complain. Howdy special man.... I've got special prices for you"
- "What you say 'sexual abuse is wrong', well shut your mouth and say a word ... More important to protect the organisA shun - You're no authority so shush ..we'll cover it up and shun, shun, shun ..you !
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
Fear of young people
- "Community music projects for the youth ?
... When I see I'm gonna cross the street and lock my door.. Cos you young people, punks and hippies ..you're all in gangs
.. Talk to you .. No you'll steal my things
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
Blame the foreigner
- "High political office means big salary and big thinking... Being a man and admitting when you were wrong ... No too difficult .. Better blame the foreigner ...look it was the foreigners"
"Basta ....You Bastard !"
Saying "but what if instead" "yes we can"
- "In America "Yes We Can" is what they preach, but here "what if", "what if" we mothers say", but what if .. the priest sees ? but what if .. my son is gay ?
.. what if ... but what if people think we poor ?
"Basta ....You Bastards !"
- I could fill more verses which things that need to criticized like crappy TV reality shows and consumerism,
-it ends ... "This song has million verses .. Shall I go on ..and on ..and on ..and on "No, Basta ....You Bastard !".. And I get carried off stage
- This festival is every evening until Sunday. I see there are 2 hostels in the region 7Km up the road at Montaione Il Vagabondo, Via Marconi, 25/27 - 50050 Telephone: +39 0571 69129 and 7Km East at Castelfiorentino on the main train line Il Grande Prato Renai Via Renai, 11 - 50051 - Telephone: +39 0571 61744 +39 0571 61744 Fax: +39 0571 635875
