THE CURE - LISBON 08-03-2008




Last Saturday i went for a The Cure show at Pavilhão Atlantico in Lisbon.
It was a great show!
I realize that actually, the goth movement it´s not as dead as i thought it was, all those black velvet dresses and platform boots, crazy hairs and painted in white faces...Yeah i was at The Cure show, no doubts about that.
I really enjoy live concerts . It´s the energy of the crowd, the voices, the lights coming down, the moments right before we see the band coming up on stage, the first sound of the guitars....Its magical and almost irracional. We act like mad people. And i love to act like mad....

RIP HEATH LEDGER

Last Tuesday one good (and i may say handsome) actor has died.

Nowadays, it seems normal to see this happening... wonder why?

It really left me with a tight feeling on my chest, probably because you belive those type of people are invencible and will live for ever... well, in reality these people do live forever.... a lot of people, like myself, will remember him for a lot of time, through his movies, that will be seen, probably, for the generations to come.

If you really stop to think about this subject; the death of young famous people; it looks kind of cool. You see all the talking about, and the buzz that everybody makes around him, and what he was, and what he did, all the covers of the magazines all over the world. And you think : " Uh, that´s nice. Everyone will remember me".
And as Andy used to say: "Death can really make you look like a star."

It´s a relaxing idea for facing the death fear.

Remember Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and others. They will live forever. It was never belived that my generation would remember all those people. It was unthinkable back then...

And in a way we find those lives and deaths an inspiration.


In reality you have to make the diference on your lifetime. And like someone said: " You are two things in this world. Either you are something or you are nothing!"

So make something great, during your time, when you´re still alive, obviously!!!



RIP Heath Ledger
