Electric Feel

Ask me anything      ''Sorte é se abandonar e aceitar essa vaga ideia de paraiso que nos persegue, bonita e breve, como borboletas que só vivem 24 horas. Morrer não doi.'' - Cazuza

Marilyn was a big supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. Ella Fitzgerald was one of Marilyn’s idols and a major inspiration. However, the Mocambo nightclub in West Hollywood, the most popular dance spot at the time, refused to let Ella perform there because she was black. Outraged, Marilyn told the owners that if they would let Ella perform, she would be there in the front row every time Ella was onstage. She did, and the two became friends. 
According to the great Ella Fitzgerald: “I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt…it was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

    "As pessoas não têm paciência para relacionamentos. Se está ruim elas simplesmente trocam. Não tentam, não se empenham, não lutam para dar certo. Não acho que a gente tem que aceitar tudo que o outro nos dá. Não acho que temos que cruzar os braços para o que está errado. Mas o amor exige uma dose de sacrifício. O amor não é descartável. O amor não pode ser jogado fora. Não dá pra fazer uma lipo no amor. A gente tem é que lutar por ele. Diariamente."

    "Porém, eu gostei dela. É raro encontrar alguém que vê além das nuvens, que se senta no meio do nada pra caçar estrelas e trocar ideias com a lua. Há pouco azul na cidade, ninguém dá mais bola para o firmamento, estão todos vivendo sem perceber os prédios se erguendo na volta e engolindo nossa capacidade de reparar nos detalhes."
