EM ROMA, SER ROMANO



Morrissey - Ringleader Of The Tormentors

Versão oficial: Morrissey, após a emigração para Los Angeles, regressou à Europa, fez de Roma uma segunda pátria, descobriu, finalmente, a paixão e o sexo (sim, o S.E.X.O.) e, com as hormonas em turbilhão, gravou a sua primeira verdadeira obra-prima pós-Smiths. Facto: é verdade, Ringleader Of The Tormentors foi gravado em Roma e Morrissey parece ter desenvolvido uma autêntica fixação por tudo o que tenha a sonoridade "cantabile" da Bella Italia. Em "You Have Killed Me", ele entrega-se, deleitado, ao "name-dropping", declarando "Pasolini is me, Accattone you'll be, I entered nothing and nothing entered me, till you came with the key (...) Visconti is me, Magnani you'll never be" ou "Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?", "Life Is A Pigsty" será uma alusão oblíqua ao Porcile do próprio Pasolini, "Dear God Please Help Me" abre com as palavras "I am walking through Rome with my heart on a string", Ennio Morricone foi convocado para os adereços orquestrais e é mesmo legítimo suspeitar-se que a escolha de Tony Visconti para produtor terá tido menos a ver com o seu ilustre currículo de produtor do Bowie "glam" do que com o apelido. Por outro lado, parece também confirmar-se que, vinte e tal anos depois, Morrissey saberá, enfim, a resposta para uma velha pergunta: "Does the body rule the mind or does the mind rule the body?".



Optou, sensatamente, pela primeira hipótese, saíu — digamos — do armário daquela estudada e ambígua pose de casto celibato assexual e perdeu a vergonha de escrever frases como "there are explosive kegs between my legs" ou (numa interessante reiteração de um certo "leg fetichism") "now I'm spreading your legs with mine in between". Não esquecendo, claro, a metáfora um tanto "canalizador-porno" da "key", na tal história do "I entered nothing and nothing entered me". Isto é, a desanimada proclamação do anterior You Are The Quarry, "the world is full of crashing bores and I must be one 'cause no one ever turns to me to say take me in your arms and love me", esgotou o prazo de validade e, se o Morrissey da idade madura não se terá exactamente transformado num Príapo esfaimado, pelo menos, já não achará demasiado exótico praticar aquilo que é habitual, por mútuo consentimento, entre adultos. Onde os factos entram seriamente em conflito com a versão oficial é no estatuto de Ringleader Of The Tormentors: You Are The Quarry poderia ainda não ser o "opus magnum" do Wilde proletário de Manchester mas incluía óptimas canções como "Irish Blood, English Heart", "I'm Not Sorry", "The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores", "You Know I Couldn't Last" e "First Of The Gang To Die". Aqui, à excepção de "You Have Killed Me", "Dear God Please Help Me" e "The Youngest Was The Most Loved" (e esta apenas porque é uma aceitável "remake" do período-Smiths), é tudo um pouco "business as usual" em registo rock+tempero "glam"+vela orquestral enfunada. O Morrissey-violinista-de-casaca que ornamenta uma capa em pastiche do grafismo Deutsche Grammophon bem se pode fazer à condição de clássico ou brincar aos pequenos Freuds em "The Father Who Must Be Killed" que não será certamente por isso que o seu novo álbum consegue voar a enorme altura. (2006)
