Italy is mine

Living in Paris, I have always dreamt of singing in a band and even forming one on my own, but I soon realized that there were and still are many obstacles to music projects, and not just the main one - i. e., how to live doing music : Musical tastes are not easy to combine, even in a huge, cosmopolitan city like Paris. There still are people who want to rock... in French, which is ( désolée , mes amis français ! ) one of the most boring languages for rock, punk and to

Two weeks later, I am still in Zurich... with my mind. Happiness is still on my side and all the beautiful flowers and birds of my beloved Parisian park tell me that there are More Good Things to come. Below, some flowers for YOU. Photos taken by me (as always) in "my" park.

Spring has arrived earlier this year, thanks to Morrissey and his European tour which has started in Aarhus in mid-February and has finished tonight in Seville. I have not yet the time to finish all my posts about the four ( they should have been five ) concerts I have had the chance to attend (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Lille and Zurich) and this rentrée will not allow me to write more, at least for the next two weeks. Below, some pics of Morrissey's concert in Seville, via Getty

A quiet walk in my favourite Parisian park, far from Hell and evil people. Unfortunately, it is also far from Seville, where Morrissey will sing tonight. Sing and shine tonight, Fantastic Bird! Art is an Eternal Spring. I hope I will see You again in Europe this year, during my school holidays. Below, some flowers from my havre de paix in Paris. Photos by me.

I started this week by my retrouvailles with my beloved park, and I am ending it by coming back to the Bar behind the Grands Boulevards where I sing every Sunday evening. I am already here early in the afternoon for the rehearsals of our next cabaret.

Some flowers for YOU. Photos taken by me in my favourite Parisian park, this afternoon. P. S. It was a great concert, and I knew it. Los cabrones working for the Spanish press will be furiously disappointed. Below, two pictures of the concert, found on the Web. I will edit with due credits when I found the photographer's name or nickname. #flowersfromParis #toYOU #SilverBoy #SingandShine #Morrissey #VeradaPozzo #ItalyisMine #italyismineanditowesmealiving

I prefer the English version of this proverb with "sailor" instead of "shepherd" because shepherds (except the Good One, of course) do not care about sheep just for their own sake, but for milk and meat.

Avoiding social media is a very healthy thing: it spares time and energy for better things to do than be bullied or involved in silly polemics by unknown people whose existence depends on how many likes and shares they get for what they post or (more often) they repost: meaningless and even fake contents, gossip and ragebait stuff; and, of course, everything is trendy because it allows more visibility, likes and shares. Thus, and not surprisingly, the social mob is exploiting

I write a lot in my head, during my long travel to Hell and back, but this week of rentrée scolaire my time and my energies have literally been stolen by the usual nasty and evil crashing bores. [To be continued] Vera da Pozzo Paris, 14th March 2026 Above: back to the chain gang. The second day of boredom was starting. Below: a bit of beauty, outside the bars. There is also some beautiful spots inside, but there is only one I can enjoy because the rest is for the pupils who d

Milano is an awful city, dull, shallow, frivolous, corrupted, polluted, extremely expensive and impossible to live for the working class people, but I would have endured the pain of going there just for attending Morrissey's concert tonight. Unfortunately, school holidays are over and tomorrow I have to come back to the chain gang, but I am sure that it will be a great concert and I do hope somebody will post on YouTube some videos or even the full concert. Sing and shine, Si

Mother Nature has her Seasons: Each of Them has its Charms And these Flowers are for You, Fantastic Bird, Dearest Friend: You are a Real Artist indeed And Art is an Eternal Spring. To YOU. Sing, Shine and have a great time in Milan tonight, Fantastic Bird! Vera da Pozzo, Paris, 9th March 2026. Poem above and photos below by me.

I know the answer, for I was at Morrissey's concert last Saturday. To be continued later... Vera da Pozzo, 9th March 2026 Below: screenshot of my own video of Morrissey's concert at The Hall in Dübendorf, Zurich.

I cannot express how happy I was yesterday afternoon, when Morrissey arrived at The Hall and I had my Vauxhall and I vinyl signed by him, right in front of me. I had two albums with me, so he could choose which one he wanted to sign, and to see him from a very little distance, even if I did not want to approach too near, well, it was something. [To be continued, in Paris tonight or, more probably, tomorrow] Below: screenshots from the video I recorded for my personal collecti

Because Alma always matters! See You tomorrow in Zurich, Morrissey: The Hall is ready and there are plenty of posters on its glass windows, and also on the artist and the backstage doors.

Another fantastic concert yesterday night, and so happy it was during school holidays, otherwise I could have not attended it. Screenshot from my own video of the concert, from the first row, during I just want to see the Boy Happy. These beautiful yellow shirt and flowers do speak books to me. It is always a pleasure to hear and see Morrissey from the first row, fully enjoying his lovely singing and talking voice, his energy on the stage, his passion when he sings and all th

Another sunny day in Lille: I have never been here before and I am happy to stroll and enjoy its beauty before Morrissey's concert tomorrow. I am happy to spend valuable time with my French friends M. and D., who arrived in Lille this afternoon. In 2023 and in 2025 I have met many nice people at Morrissey's gigs and, as they do not live in Paris like me, we are glad to met again when this is possible. Back to my hotel, I took some pictures of the full moon, which attracts me
