'I actually love foie gras . . . ' Jenson Button has yet to win a Formula 1 race - but he does have a yacht in Monte Carlo harbour. 'How cool is that?' he asks Jan Moir

Excerpt via The Daily Telegraph, May 24, 2001

Jenson Button pads across the deep-pile, rich blue carpet that surges across his new, 20-metre Princess motor yacht moored in the Port de Monaco. He rummages on a shelf for the television remote control, lopes back across the cabin in his gangly, flap-footed, adolescent way and squeaks on to the cream leather sofa next to me.

"Watch this," he chortles, barely able to contain his delight. He presses a button and, after an expensive click, a 42 inch television screen rises silently behind the sofa in front of us. "How cool is that!" he yelps. "Yeah! There are a lot of cool things about the yacht - it goes quite quick and the jet skis are brilliant - but the TV is the coolest thing. Listen. It's got surround sound. And it's great for watching DVDs 'cos it's just like being in the cinema." He presses another button, and the screen obediently retracts. "Yup," he sighs happily. "You gotta go large, don't you?"

Tiresia

Faccio fatica a tenere a mente le cose, sono perennemente distratta dai tuoi pensieri. Cerco frammenti bisbigliati di poesia, nella speranza di riuscire a comporre qualcosa di malaticcio e infermo. Ho la febbre da giorni, una febbre mentale, che sale e scende come grandi montagne, nella grande ricerca di una valle. Ma non c’è niente qui, fra queste quattro mura rovinate, in queste giornate smorte e un po’ calde, lontano dal tuo sguardo. Mi sento sfiorire fra le braccia della primavera.

Ho perso le tue mani dolci e ferme che disegnavano sulla mia pelle la poesia del tuo amore: il tuo cuore poeta s’è fatto arcano. E io ho perso gli occhi per leggere. Come un’indovina m’aggiro la notte alla ricerca di risposte, segni, ma gli dei mi ignorano, la tua bocca si cuce e non riesco a far altro che supplicare le moire di perdono e pietà. Vecchio, consumato e cieco s’è fatto il mio volto. E mi sento nell’attesa di sentir bussare alla mia porta il braccio ossuto di Caronte che m’annuncia di salpare.

Eccomi qui - delirante in cima a un monte - a declamare il mio Eros ferito.

Le monde sans mur - Evangile 21



Quand il était petit, il avait peur des murs qui se dressaient, haut devant lui. Les murs nus. Les murs froids. Les murs qui criaient : Non ! Tu ne passeras pas. Il restait au pied du mur, les yeux levés sur cette barrière monstrueuse, entre lui et le monde. Il rêvait d’un monde sans mur.

Il est devenu artiste, et peut-être ceci a-t-il à voir avec cela. La nature est sa principale source d’inspiration.

…

Il traverse la campagne. Il marche, seul. Il aime les talus. Trois niveaux superposés : montée de terre, herbe, et le ciel, ouvert au-dessus. Au point le plus élevé, une prairie se déploie, d’un vert clair de printemps. Son regard se perd à l’herbe, à perte de vue, et quand un vent vient balayer le champ, la surface entière se met à onduler, comme une toile légère, agitée par le souffle, régulier. La beauté le tient en arrêt. L’herbe va, comme les vagues, au rythme de l’air, sur la mer. Le mouvement est continu. Il tire, de son sac en bandoulière, une caméra avec laquelle il se met à filmer ce qu’il voit : cette ampleur verte, vivante, et qui respire.

…

Ce chemin de forêt, il le connaît, bien. Il revient là, souvent, à cet espace perdu. Il l’a dit aux siens, d’ailleurs : si vous ne me trouvez pas, venez me chercher là. Il a pris les chemins de sable rose, et se laisse emporter, l’esprit ailleurs. L’herbe monte, au pied des troncs de bouleaux. Il voit, chaque fois, cet espace-là comme un décor de théâtre, tendu. La lumière joue entre les feuilles et sur les troncs. Il arrive où ses pas l’arrêtent, chaque fois, au bord d’un étang. Le ciel et les arbres viennent y confondre leurs reflets. Surface de l’eau, toujours différente, parfois sombre et immobile. Mais il la préfère, comme aujourd’hui, agitée par le passage d’un doux souffle d’air, qui dessine des moires, ondulantes, étoilées, incessantes. Il a tiré la caméra de son sac pour se mettre à filmer.

…

Il habite une maison de village. A la table des repas, il s’assoit toujours à la même place, et laisse son regard suivre un chemin familier, vers la fenêtre, et au-dehors, les arbres, sur la colline en face. Un rideau de feuillages, somptueux, de l’or d’automne, vit de son souffle propre, au passage de l’air du matin. Il ondule. Il frissonne, comme une peau, au passage de la caresse.

Il s’extrait de la fascination et reprend sa caméra, pour filmer.

…

Les gens accrochent des tableaux, des photos encadrées, la plupart du temps, pour que vivent les murs de leur maison. Mais ce sont de si petites fenêtres ouvertes sur la vie. Car toujours les murs arrêtent.

Il faut combattre les murs !

L’idée lui est venue d’une autre façon d’utiliser tous ces films réalisés, dans la nature. Il rêve la création de murs animés. Non pas juste un cadre enfermant un décor naturel, mais, sur un pan de mur entier de la maison, et par un système ingénieux de diffusion de l’image, en continu : le vent en vagues sur l’herbe, les ondes de l’eau, miroitantes, ou les feuillages vibrant au souffle d’un matin d’automne.

Il ouvre les mains en souriant.

« Tu donneras à tes murs le nom de salut

Et à tes portes celui de louange. »

April is Minnesota Music Month. To celebrate, each weekday this month we'll be spotlighting a different artist with special coverage on air and online. For Tuesday, April 28, we're shining a light on The Time.

The Time, a smooth-talking funk group, were Prince’s first successful protégé act and launched the careers of Morris Day and the chart-topping producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

The roots of The Time extend back to the mid-1970s in North Minneapolis, where Terry Lewis was fronting the hard-driving funk group Flyte Tyme and Jimmy Jam was writing songs and playing keys in the R&B vocal group Mind & Matter. Their bands would compete at Battle of the Band showcases against another hot young group, Grand Central, which was led by a teenage Prince and featured Morris Day on drums.

By 1980, Prince's star was on the rise and it became clear that he was writing too many songs to release under his own name. So he created an outlet for his hard-driving, funky grooves — and assembled a ferocious live band that would give him a run for his money and keep that competitive spirit alive.

Although the first Time albums were primarily recorded by Prince and Morris alone, the live original lineup of the Time included Terry's old Flyte Tyme bandmates Jellybean Johnson and Monte Moir, plus the hot young guitarist Jesse Johnson and Morris's on-stage foil, Jerome Benton. Their shows became notorious — their choreographed dance moves, exaggerated stage banter, and well-oiled, tight performances made them an irresistible live act.

Tensions began to mount between Prince and the members of The Time, and by the time Prince began filming his breakout film, Purple Rain, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had been dismissed from the group. When the film debuted in theaters, the band had mostly dissolved, despite Morris Day and Jerome having starring roles. Because of the success of the movie, The Time's 1984 album Ice Cream Castles had several successful singles, including "Jungle Love" and "The Bird."

When The Time reunited in 1990 for Prince's Purple Rain sequel, Graffiti Bridge, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had become chart-topping producers, thanks to a wildly successful creative partnership with Janet Jackson. Morris Day and Jesse Johnson had each launched their own solo careers, and Jellybean Johnson had performed in another Prince side project, The Family, and started producing acts of his own.

Decades later, Morris Day and The Time continue to tour, and the founding members of the group still reunite for performances and recording sessions under the name the Original 7ven — most notably in 2017, when they came back together to honor the man who created them, Prince, with a memorial tribute at the Grammys.
