When I was a young teenager in Brazil, I had no clue there was a resistance going on around me. I just didn’t want to go back to my situation in Water Mill, NY because it was so dismal and abusive. I was looking for every way out even then. It APPEARED a career in entertainment would suit me and that it could be an escape.
FALSE.
I was hanging around Globo Studio in Rio and I did manage to get in to see a few shows and Chacrinha had a big 1. I didn’t speak to him but he knows how to get through to me for this.
Chacrinha was another 1 of us making a clown of himself.
Looking back, I realize the shows on tv in Brazil were all about this.
“Correct.”
I remember there was a soap opera on tv about Oedipus Rex. The people around me were attempting to get me to understand that Brazil needed revolution.
“The planet needs it.”
Chacrinha is a very kind soul and he is talking to me in Portuguese a little bit.
I see on your Google snapshot that you are credited with a phrase that goes - In television, nothing is created, it is copied.
Is that a reference to your inspiration??
”Yes.”
I see you wore Elvis’ kind of glasses which Elvis also told me to get.
“It’s his trademark.”
And you behaved like a ridiculous goofball which is my trademark.
“Exactly correct.’
Shocking.
The old warrior. Who is the old warrior who needs a break from all this??
This is what it was like.
Did you know I was in your audience??
“Yes.”
Chacrinha is very appreciated in Brazil.
