The Boss’s voice echoes in my memory, and takes me back in 1984 during a long stay in California!
“Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that’s been too much beat
Till you spend half your life just covering up…. “
During the period from July, 11 to 22, 2019 in parallel with the concerts of Moon & Stars, the “Locarno Rock Museum” was opened for a free visit at the Locarno’s PalaCinema.
The collection of Claudio Mollekopf and Eros Girardi is composed of about 300 pieces including guitars, gold records, precious historical relics and various types of objects belonging to bands such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Metallica, AC / DC, Police, Brian Adams, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Guns N ‘Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Iron Maiden, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi and many others.
The passion for music has allowed Claudio and Eros to collect very rare pieces and not only of sentimental value. Claudio has accompanied us for over an hour telling us with great enthusiasm, anecdotes related to each of his exposed pieces.
While Jim, the offender, reminded me of my adolescent rebellion, with his Light my Fire…
“You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire … “
La voce di The Boss riecheggia nella mia memoria, e mi riporta nel lontano 1984 durante un mio lungo soggiorno in California!
“Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up….”
Durante il periodo dal 11.-22 luglio 2019 parallelamente ai concerti di Moon&Stars, si ha potuto visitare gratuitamente presso il PalaCinema di Locarno, il “Locarno Rock Museum”.
La collezione di Claudio Mollekopf e di Eros Girardi è composta da circa 300 pezzi tra chitarre, dischi d’oro, preziosi cimeli storici e oggetti di vario genere appartenuti a band quali i Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Metallica, AC/DC, Police, Brian Adams, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Iron Maiden, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson e Bon Jovi e molti altri ancora.
La passione per la musica ha permesso a Claudio e Eros di collezionare pezzi rarissimi e non sono di valore sentimentale. Claudio ci ha accompagnati per oltre un’ora raccontandoci con grande entusiasmo, aneddoti legati ad ogni suo pezzo esposto.
Mentre Jim, il trasgressore, mi ha fatto ricordare la mia ribellione adolescenziale, con il suo Light my Fire…
“You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire…”
