(George), write like the wind!

Vi propongo una canzone, ben fatta a mio modo di vedere, di due commediografi/musicisti, che esortano il celebre scrittore a darsi un po' una massa!

A voi:



Testo:

George R. R. Martin, please write, and write faster
You’re not going to get any younger, you know
Winter is coming, I’m growing impatient
And you’ve still got two more damn books left to go
So write, George, write like the wind!

I curse the day that my friend ever loaned me
An old dog-eared paperback called Game of Thrones
How could I know that this seed would grow into
An addiction that held me, right down to my bones

Now, five books later, I lurk with the masses
Indignant, entitled, and waiting for word
That the great Bearded Glacier has finally published
Nine hundred more pages of crack for the nerds

Why does every new verse of your song
Keep taking you so goddamn long?

George R. R. Martin, please write, and write faster
please give us boiled leather, and sigils and steel
We need our allotment of incest and intrigue
And six page descriptions of every last meal
So write, George, write like the wind!

Lewis took five years to chronicle Narnia
Tolkien had twelve years, and Rowling took ten
Lucas spent nearly three decades on Star Wars
And we all know how that one turned out in the end

You’re not our bitch, and you’re not a machine
And we don’t mean to dictate how you spend your days
But please, bear in mind, in the time that you’ve had,
William Shakespeare churned out thirty-five friggin’ plays

And if you keep writing so slow
You’ll hold up the HBO show

George R. R. Martin, please write, and write faster
‘cause we won’t stop whining until we’re appeased
Crap out the chapters–and George, while you’re at it
Stop killing our favorite characters, please
And write, George, write…like the wind!

(George R.R. Martin, please write, and write faster
Before you are dead, George, please write like the wind)

Simpatica ma anche molto pungente in alcuni punti (ad esempio la stoccata a Lucas).

Preferirei tuttavia che Martin si prendesse tutto il tempo che reputa necessario per comporre la sua opera, affinché anche i successivi libri rimangano sugli altissimi livelli di qualità che hanno reso questa saga una delle migliori in tutta la storia della letteratura.

Da parte mia, un grandissimo grazie a Martin per averci regalato la canzone del ghiaccio e del fuoco!.

Geniale.

L'unica cosa che mi dispiace è come queste iniziative spuntino fuori solo dopo il travolgente successo della serie televisiva,come se prima le "Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco" non fossero mai esistite.
