(si consiglia per la lettura del presente sproloquio, in sottofondo, l’ascolto del seguente brano: “Le sirene” – Vinicio Caposssela)
Ho avuto modo di conoscere Michel Martone, il viceministro Michel Martone, quando veniva a “tapparci i buchi” a Red Tv. Ed era uno bravo. Come sono bravi i secchioni, i quali, così come gli sfigati, servono a noi che stiamo nel mezzo, a farci un’idea sul mondo che ci circonda. A farci un’idea sulle cose da fare.
Non mi sono stupito più di tanto quando ho saputo della sua nomina. Di sicuro più scontata e giusta la sua, di altre. La meniamo sempre con questi (pseudo)giovani che non hanno spazio, che non rivestono ruoli, e chi mai ci sarebbe dovuto andare a fare il viceministro? io?!
La sua uscita a molti ha ricordato quella di Padoa Schioppa ed a molti, forse giustamente, ha seccato anche di più. Padoa Schioppa era una sorta di genio, ma era un genio del medioevo. Se non erro, conobbe Leonardo (no, non il calciatore). Quando se ne uscì con la storia dei bamboccioni fu geniale e giusto. Raccontò quello che stava vedendo e lo fece con l’approccio di chi prova a moralizzare, ma non può più intervenire. L’allora ministro era già il Passato. Puntava il dito, ma il dito tremava.
Martone invece ha meno di 40 anni, sa quello che dice. Racconta quello che vede e può intervenire. Bravo Martone!
Si, bravo Martone, però poi c’è da scendere nel merito. Se i bamboccioni erano masse informi di trenta-quarantenni ammarati su divani ormai sfatti di case non più borghesi, ma tendenti al popolare. Divani maleodoranti e sformati da giornate intere di PlayStation, circondati da bottiglie di birra figlie della serata di Champions precedente, a volte usati per la copula selvaggia tanto “papà e mamma lavorano tutto il giorno”…se i bamboccioni, dicevo, erano ingiustificabili (e per questo si tentò in tutti i modi non di contraddire Padoa Schioppa, ma di dimostrare – sterilmente – che i bamboccioni, semplicemente non esistevano. Follia!), gli sfigati di Martone perché generano in noi più compassione? per la parola (che già bivacca nella top degli hashtag di twitter)? Sinceramente non credo basti questa spiegazione. “Sfigato” a volte è un termine che fa anche ridere. A volte…diciamo spesso.
La compassione, la rabbia e la scocciatura, di chi attacca Martone, derivano dal fatto che, in un modo o nell’altro, mentre bamboccioni potevamo non dirci tutti, sfigati lo siamo un po’ tutti, oggi. Chi più chi meno. Ed ecco le sirene.
Sarà questa barba alla Fehmiu, che mi ha procurato più di un piacevole paragone con l’Ulisse della Rai (la gente che frequento non sta bene) o sarà il bel brano che chiude l’ultimo capolavoro di Vinicio, che oggi mentre pensavo a questa cosa riascoltavo in macchina al ritorno dall’asilo. Ma per me, caro viceministro, il problema che dovrà affrontare, se vorrà dare seguito alla polemica di ieri (ed io credo che vorrà, perché anche Lei vive i tempi di Leonardo, il calciatore però), è il problema delle sirene.
Sono anni, decenni, che le generazioni di adolescenti, giovani, studenti, lavoratori sotto i quaranta, ascoltano ogni tipo di sirena. Le promesse, le distrazioni, le illusioni, il fumo negli occhi, i grandi programmi, le nuove visioni…tutte sirene per i ventenni, i trentenni, i quarantenni, dagli anni ’80 a oggi. Ulisse, si sa, si fece legare all’albero della nave per ascoltarle, ma resistere. Resistere perché Penelope valeva bene una così grande sofferenza, un così grande sacrificio, una così estenuante rinuncia.
Ma la Penelope di Ulisse era un buon motivo per non cedere. Per non lasciarsi andare. Per non comportarsi da sfigati.
Gentile viceministro, il problema è tutto qui. Sono troppi anni, è troppo tempo, che le nostre sirene sono molto meglio di Penelope.
Altro che Irene Papas!
P.S. Caro Michel Martone, se però ora non vuoi passare da sfigato pure tu, alimenta quotidianamente il tuo profilo twitter, oppure chiudilo. Aprirlo solo per twittare due precisazioni è da #sfigato.

Hi, i believe that i saw you visited my web site thus i got here to go back the prefer?.I’m trying to to find issues to enhance my web site!I assume its good enough to make use of some of your concepts!!
I simply couldn’t go away your web site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard information an individual provide for your guests? Is going to be back ceaselessly in order to check out new posts
?I?m not crazy,? I tried to force myself to believe that statement briefly before continuing, ?I?m just a little unwell.? I wondered how dumb I sounded. It was the first thing any of us had said, and it was just lyrics from a song. . The fluorescent lights caught every imperfection and made it public, opened you up to criticism and judgment. Somehow it shined in a way to force me into what felt like a spot light, I was forced onto a stage with an audience consisting of an elder couple stealing glances and sweet touches when a spark lite up their wrinkled eyes, a balding man in overalls bent over his plate shoveling food into the black hole where his mouth should have been placed, a group of young girls giggling because they were out past curfew, a creepy man who despite my current state, let his eyes roll over my body, studying harder than he ever had in school, and the two men sat across from me in our booth. . They nodded. They knew I was unwell. They knew I was probably crazy. Here they sat despite the facts, which would have repelled any normal human being. When someone yells rape people run away, it is normal for people to run from disaster when they can, if it is not yours, you run. Who needs more disaster? These two didn?t run, they stopped. I could have, no I should have questioned them about said topic but I was having a little problem coming up with anything other than song lyrics. . ?I?m sick of all the insincere.? I stated, rather insecurely if I may say so, ?So I?m gonna give all my secrets away.? They nodded; I finished ?This time, don?t need another perfect line.?. I felt numb, cold and wet, bruised and weak. I could detach myself from my head, I could just tell them, what?s the worst that could happen?. They must have noticed the conflict on my face because the younger of the two gave me what I assume was meant to be a reassuring smile, it looked more like pity. The older one slowly reached his hand across the table; it headed straight towards me, a simple touch.. The flashbacks begun and struck with such force I was flung back against the poorly cushioned booth. The pictures flew at me from all angles, like sharp, rusted daggers yearning to sink into my scarred skin and twist until I gave in to them. . They seemed to tease me, barely breaking skin, before they shot through me like my hollow body was paper thin; it was effortless. The pain was delayed, I felt a high. I was untouchable, indestructible. The warmness spread through me without notice, the daggers were still going, right through my core. I was seeping, a red liquid oozed out and flooded the restaurant. There was so much, it was everywhere, all around me. I was suffocated by my own blood; I fought to reach the top where the air was still clean. It was heavy though, definitely not water, too thick to fight. I gave in. . I gasped, what I believed to be my last breath, it was easier than I thought though, too easy for a dying breath. I blinked and looked around. The lights no longer showed everything, in fact now they were hiding things. They hid the flood, for it could no longer be seen. The eyes of my audience grew bigger as all of them snapped to me. None of them showed the drastic scene that just played out. People run.. I focused on the only eyes I really cared about, the two pairs that showed worry and stress. Those eyes are the only ones that believed that I was in fact dying; suffocating on my own blood. . . . This is really really raw, I have this idea but I can’t seem to figure out how I want to start it.. Sorry, I know it’s kind of long..
