Ο Δύων Ανατέλλων - Pinball Wizard

Μετά την "πραγματική" αφιέρωση του Γιώργου (Δύων Ανατέλλων - δύει, ανατέλλει, ανατέλλει δύοντας, μήπως διπλο-ανατέλλει ή απλώς δεν έχει αποφασίσει ακόμα;), ήθελα να του κάνω κι εγώ μια "εικονική" αφιέρωση. Επειδή υπήρξα για πολύ λίγο χρόνο ερασιτέχνης, ενώ εκείνος έγραψε και γράφει ιστορία στο ραδιόφωνο, μου θύμισε τον Pinball Wizard των Who, σε ερμηνεία του Ελτονα Ιωάννη, κομμάτι που του αφιερώνω μαζί με ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ :)


Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
- I don't know
What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even on my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

Εγώ θα του χάριζα bob dylan,
ας πούμε το "I shall be released":

"They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released. .."
 
Αλομ-Βάρδε, την αφιέρωσή σου την είδα από την ημέρα που την έβαλες- και σε ευχαριστώ. Έχεις ακούσει το Lucy in the sky with diamonts (Lennon/MacCartney)από τον Elton John;;; Αν όχι πρέπει!

Κατερίνα, είναι ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια...
