SPARKLEHORSE - IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
(IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE - 2001) (mp3)
Encore une chanson sortie d'une publicité pour une voiture. Une plus grosse cette fois-ci (de voiture) (la Mercedes classe M). C'est bon d'entendre SPARKLEHORSE à la télévision, même très partiellement. Du coup, j'ai appris des choses sur MARK LINKOUS le leader (c'est peu dire) du groupe:
"In 1996, while supporting Tindersticks on the first Sparklehorse tour, Linkous overdosed on alcohol, Valium and antidepressants and possibly other substances in his London hotel room [1]. Unconscious and with his legs pinned beneath him for almost fourteen hours, the resulting potassium buildup caused his heart to stop for several minutes after his body was lifted up. The ensuing surgeries nearly caused him to lose both legs and left him wheelchair-bound for six months." (wikipedia)
et une citation du bonhomme pour finir: "In a way, it was the best time of my life, just being in a wheelchair and being on morphine all the time." (MAGNET #52)
