You’ve done too much much too young Now you’re chained to the cooker making currant buns for tea oh no, no gimme no more pickni Ain’t you heard of the starving millions Ain’t you heard of contraception Do you really a program of sterilization Take control of the population boom It’s in your living room Keep a generation gap Try wearing a cap Figura 8. Too much too young... The Specials in Turin! 16
BANDWAGONESQUE Just forget about Mike The Situation, Vinny Guadagnino & C. Here we got the real stuff: a middle aged original italian Guido. Er, actually more than middle aged, but it doesn’t matter. He’s a typical product of our third-rate trashy tv: a supposed sports journalist who talks about soccer with the competence of a black salsify. Not to mention the impartiality, since he is a die-hard Juventus F.C. fan and he does absolutely nothing to dissimulate it. Just look at his T-shirt: MOGGI È VERITÀ. Moggi is truth. Who the hell is this Moggi?, may ask anyone. Well, former Juventus director Luciano Moggi was found guilty of sporting fraud in Calciopoli scandal; the former supremo of the Turin-based club, as well the remaining leading troupe of the Calciopoli scandal, have all been condemned for their actions. The phrase “jump on the bandwagon” first appeared in American politics in 1848 when Dan Rice, a famous and popular circus clown of the time, used his bandwagon and its music to gain attention for his political campaign appearances. As his campaign became more successful, other politicians strove for a seat on the bandwagon, hoping to be associated with his success. Later, during the time of William Jennings Bryan’s 1900 presidential campaign, bandwagons had become standard in campaigns, and “jump on the bandwagon” was used as a derogatory term, implying that people were associating themselves with the success without considering what they associated themselves with. In Italy this concept, literally translated in Italian as “saltare sul carro del vincitore”, was introduced by Ennio Flaiano, a great author and critic. So here we got an uncommon – very uncommon for this messy country – case of coherency. While all Moggi’s lickspittles and sponsors (politicians, tv hosts and opinion makers, that kinda scum) jumped headlong off his corrupted bandwagon when the scandal broke, this freak – sorry, I’m not able to recall his name! – stand still in his defence. Well, what can I say: congrats! As long as you hit a subjunctive right one of these bloody days. 17
