Fiona goes manichaeist

Não gosto de lutas entre bem e mal, mas verdade verdadinha que às vezes o mal tem um charme fantástico. A bruxa má é intensamente mais charmosa do que a secante Branca de Neve, torcia pelos índios quando era miúda e via os westerns em que estes eram a reencarnação do Demo. Tenho uma atracção quase magnética por figuras de contundente maldade. As pessoas boazinhas deixam-me de pé atrás.

Daí o delírio por esta música, "Sympathy for the Devil", um original dos Rolling Stones, transformada em cover gloriosa pelos Guns n' Roses para a banda sonora do filme "Interview with the vampire". O filme nada tem de especial, mas a música, ai a música. Ouçam bem...

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many men's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I watched with glee
As your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politics
Or I'll lay your soul to waste…

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame...

The original soundtrack for this post is: Sympathy for the devil - Guns n' Roses (original Rolling Stones)
