Italy is mine

Tomorrow... A 1966 classic by Sam and Dave. Hold on to your Friend. Photo above taken by me quite early this morning. The heat is horrible and the air so awfully polluted in Paris, still Mother Nature stay strong. Let us be like Mother Nature. You, I, WE shall overcome.

When The Smiths split because Johnny Marr left the band, I was just a child in primary school and I found it was such a pity, but, since then, I have never wished The Smiths made up, and I have never hoped the creative tandem Morrissey & Marr came back and worked together again. The Smiths is dead since 1987 and, after a short time when Craig Gannon, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce played together at the very beginning of Morrissey's solo career, all former band members embraced,

... from Morrissey: Notre Dame (with orchestra) + Hello Hell + Happy New Tears 12 inch is available in Norway. I have been patiently waiting for my copy since April; now my copy will patiently wait for me at the Fnac in Paris for just few days more. A 7 inch will be released in September with two singles: Kerching Kerching (from the album Make-up is a Lie) + Isle of Dogs, which was mentioned by Alain Whyte around three years ago.

Paul McCartney turns 84 today. Happy birthday to my favourite Beatle, who is also one of the living musicians, singers and songwriters I admire the most, both as an Artist and as Human Being. Happy Birthday, Macca! I wish you all the best.

You do know when I need good news most. The 12 inch is on its way to the Fnac shop, and the announcement of a newer album which will be recorded in January is great newsn Yes, I know that you are 116 years old: you told me in Catania and you made me laugh. I do not know why do people feel the urge to speculate about people and situations they absolutely do not know, but I think that "bitchcraft" is a brilliant trouvaille and it fits to the fester crashing bores I ignore at wo

Let me sleep in the deckchair Now that the burning day is over And a gentle, fresh breeze blows: I enjoyed the concert so much And now the courtyard wants me to rest Happy and safe under the horse chestnut Vera da Pozzo Paris, 30th May 2026 Poem above and pictures below by me.

To me, Charles Trenet is THE French singer and songwriter, the one who put Poetry and Popular song together and also the most beautiful French singing voice. If my plans had worked as I had intended, I would have moved to Dublin instead of Paris, but, even if I have always had more affinity with Ireland (and the UK) and English language, I have like French language too and I have always been fascinated by the old good time when France still creates artists, poets, great singe

Release update on Morrissey Central: three more weeks for the release of Notre-Dame Deluxe 12" vinyl, i. e., few days before the first concert of the new European tour which will take place in Lillestrøm, near Oslo. My first time in Norway: I have never been so far in the North of the Emisphere in which I was born and where I live. As usual, my purchase will be delivered at the Fnac shop. Let's stretch out and wait... Good night! Vera da Pozzo Paris, 2nd May 2026 P. S. Joke a

Inspired by the 1964 play Eh?, written by Henry Livings, the film was produced four years later. Directed by Peter Hall and starring David Warner and Cilla Black, Work is a four-letter Word is not available on DVD but it can be watched on YouTube and it will be a nice divertissement tonight. The original film's title song by Cilla Black (a singer I do like, whom I discovered through The Beatles before knowing that Morrissey was a fan of her) and the "infamous" cover by The Sm

The poet's flower: Rosa canina, or dog rose or eglantine. Photo taken by me today, around noon, in my favourite Parisian park. As it was a bit windy, I put my hand on the branch in order to prevent the beautiful dog rose to oscillate too much while I was taking this picture. A sprig of rosa canina was one of the gifts rewarding poets for their literary excellence during the Middle Age, at the Academy of Floral Games in France. To YOU. See You in two months!

More concerts to enjoy, more Countries and cities to discover, from the North to the South next Summer, plus Paris and Brussels in December. See you in two months, Fantastic Bird!

My school holidays start with good news... Morrissey in Europe again: many dates this Summer, and three more concerts later in the year: Paris (la Seine musicale) on 3rd December, Netherlands and Belgium at the ending of 2026. It's time to check my agenda. Below, the new European poster and my screenshot of today's post on Morrissey Central. "Hello Hell" was written on the drumkit in 2023. Oh, the irony!

I cannot explain how , but I knew that today I would have found on Morrissey Central some news about the next tour... I was right, and absolutely not disappointed at all. Morrissey will be back to Italy during school holidays, like last year, which makes things much easier. And how I love to see my Country's name always written in Italian on Morrissey's posts. See you in nearby places, Silver Boy! Vera da Pozzo Paris, 11th April 2026 Below: screenshots of the announcement

There are not news yet of the new European tour, but we have news about new releases tomorrow and on Morrissey's birthday . About the picture of the post on Central, I am sure that Dave Musheigan took it at the concert in Rome, where Morrissey wore a red shirt, whilst in Lucca he was wearing the same blue-grey flower shirt he wore for the concert at the Gasometer in Vienna. By the way, I am glad I could attend all these three fantastic concerts and I do hope I will able to at

If the concert had been yesterday - this year, Monday is my day off at school, as Friday - it would have been better, because it is quite stressing to run away from my lycée which is at 40 km from Paris, but I am happy to attend another concert of Brigitte calls me Baby, the rock band from Chicago that I have discovered last year, thanks to Morrissey, who chose them as opening act for his concerts in Dublin and Paris. I am also happy to see again some French friends I met at

One of the most beautiful and intemporal Italian songs: Senza fine , by the great songwriter and singer Gino Paoli , composed in 1961 for Ornella Vanoni , one of the finest singers that Italy have ever spawned. Born in the same year 1934, Ornella Vanoni and Gino Paoli were lovers first and very close friends later in their life. Ornella died last November and Gino has followed her now in March: I guess they have found the Sky outside the Room. I am not and I have never been

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
