I’ve been on planet Mars, writing some arrangements and checking out the deeper side of big band theory, so I’ve only just discovered that the head of the conservative Partido Popular in Orense, Galicia, is a keen trombonist. Xosé Luis Baltar recently suggested to voters that Zapatero’s lot might try to steal the Galician elections as they did the nationals, and that it might be necessary to rob a few votes in order to assure a just result:
Thereafter he made his way through street and square, playing the trombone, accompanied on bass drum by his son with candidates’ list-topper, Amparo González, on cymbals, singing songs like, “If to the PP you are not true, then fuck you.”
Politics? Boring?
