Nota breve

Continuando a série “Tô ficando velho, e daí?”, um pedaço da entrevista da Laurie Anderson na New York Times Magazine de 30/1:

At 57, do you worry about aging and wrikles?
Not really. I think some prunish people look pretty good. I am more worried about turning into a schlump than into a prune.

How would you define a schlump?
A schlump is someone who doesn’t care about anything and who is just protecting their own turf, which is getting smaller and more meaningless, and then they disappear.

Do you find this to be a schlumpy era compared to the 80’s, when you were part of a creatively inspired New York art scene?
I don’t miss the 80’s. I don’t miss anything right now. I have zero time for nostalgia.
