Business as usual at Rick's Canteen this night. I'm dressed as I do in China Poblana and Rick's night grillman is flipping pork brains with eggs to make the local omlet we do here around Xmas every year.

I'm alone on the floor and on the register, which also doubles as a computer and from which I now post this in loneliness to you.

I got SO sick of Rick's Xmas CD on the system that I replaced it with La Giovinezza which is in a loop and plays over and over again. Just like when I was young, I love it. La Giovinezza! The most stirring music I have ever heard.

Eric Fletcher had a smash up on his urine-powered bike yesterday and is out of commission until he gets it prepared. Both of us have started peeing into those big red plastic gas cans. Urine is fuel in Five Forks!

So try it where you are. Replace the boring repetitious Christ-Mas music with fascist anthems like the Horst Wessel Lied and La Giovinezza





Giovinezza

I
Salve o popole d'Eroi
Salve a patria immortale
Son rinati i figli tuoi
Con la fè nell' ideale

II
Valor dei tuon guerrieri,
La virtù dei pionieri
La vision dell' Atighieri
Oggi brilla in tutti i cuor.

Corus
Giovinezza, Giovinezza,
Primavera di bellezza
Della vita nell' asprezza
Il tuo canto squilla e va!
E per Benito Mussolini,
Eja eja alalà.
E per la nostra Patria bella,
Eja eja alalà.

I.
Dell' Italia nei confini
Son rifatti gli italiani;
Li ha rifatti Mussolini
Per la guerra di domani.
Per la gloria del lavora
Per la Pace e per l'alloro,
Per la gogna di coloro
Che la patria rinnegar.
[Corus]

II.
I Poeti e gli artigiani
I signori e i contadini
Con orgoglio d'italiani
Giuran fede a Mussolini.
Non v'è povero quartiere
Che non mandi le sue schiere
Che non spieghi le bandiere
Del fascismo redentor.
[Corus]

Salve oh pueblo de Héroes
Salve a la patria inmortal
han renacido tus hijos
con la fe en el ideal

II
El valor de tus guerreros,
La virtud de tus pioneros
La visión del Atighieri
Hoy brillan en todos los corazones.

Coro
Juventud, juventud
Primavera de belleza
En la aspereza de la vida
Tu canto retumba y se va!
Y por Benito Mussolini,
Eja eja alala!
Y por nuestra bella Patria,
Eja eja alala!

I.
Desde los confines de la Italia
Se han rehecho los italianos,
Los ha rehecho Mussolini
Para la guerra del mañana
para la gloria de los trabajadores
Por la Paz y por el laurel,
por la argolla de aquellos
Que la patria renegó.
[Coro]

II.
Los Poetas y los artesanos
Los señores y los campesinos
Con orgullo de italianos
Juran fidelidad a Mussolini
No hay ningún pobre cuartel
que no mande sus tropas
que no extiendan la bandera
Del fascismo redentor

How rude!

This is not the way I like to picture Il Duce!

I'm enraptured as we speak while listening to La Giovinezza over and over again.

Oh I dont like the looks of this at all..

I am now thouroughly perplexed at almost everything posted here. And not in a woo-woo way. In a I'm lost in the goddamn nutcase wing of inverted world way.

The Horst Wessel Lied, sung by an SS military chorus, is on the same CD loop.

Me, I prefer the Giovinezza!
