Passion for Living: Eu So Quero um Xodó

drawing/photos/collage by marguerita..... portraits in blue

Gilberto Gil

Composição: Anastácia / Dominguinhos

Que falta eu sinto de um bem
Que falta me faz um xodó
Mas como eu não tenho ninguém
Eu levo a vida assim tão só...

Eu só quero um amor
Que acabe o meu sofrer
Um xodó prá mim
Do meu jeito assim
Que alegre o meu viver...

Baker decided that the Woodstock generation was conspiring to cut the birth rate so they would always be in the majority and could “go on being the kids for the rest of their lives.”
Maybe not selling out is going to come back into fashion, too. But if there’s nobody left doing any buying, does it still count?Op-Ed Columnist - The Stump Theory - NYTimes.com
