Robinik oggi festeggia, insieme agli Stati Uniti, il 4 luglio.

Faccio anch’io gli auguri agli States, ma in modo un po’ più agrodolce usando le parole di Joni Mitchell e la voce di Maynard James Keenan (A Perfect Circle - eMOTIVe - traccia 12).

And so once again,
My dear Johnny, my dear friend,
And so once again you are fighting us all,
And when I ask you why,
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall,
Oh, my friend,
How did you come?,
To trade the fiddle for the drum,

You say I have turned,
Like the enemies you’ve earned,
But I can remember,
All the good things you are,
And so I ask you please,
Can I help you find the peace and the star?,
Oh, my friend,
What time is this?,
To trade the handshake for the fist.

And so once again,
Oh America my friend,
And so once again,
You are fighting us all,
And when we ask you why,
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall,
Oh, my friend,
How did you come,
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say we have turned,
Like the enemies you’ve earned,
But we can remember,
All the good things you are,
And so we ask you please,
Can we help you find the peace and the star?
Oh my friend,
We have all come,
To fear the beating of your drum
