3                              DIED THE 4TH OF JULY


"There  is  always  a  day in the life of a man in which the man himself changes
 completely  his  way  of  thinking and focuses all his mental flows on a single
 target,  spending the rest of his days trying to reach that target, considering
 all the others devices to reach it."

This  Phrase  may  sound senseless and pathetic, but history and self experience
convinced me it is objectively (and tragically) true.
It  has  happend  in  the  past and on July the 4th 1992 it has happened also to
Macno  when he started his design of building a totally abnormal mag....that was
the starting of his new life, that was the end of ours.


2A FLASHBACK

Let's  analyse  what happened in the 10 hours before he made up his mind and see
if  there's  a  particular fact that might have influenced that little grey mass
which Macno (with a lot of fantasy) uses to call brain.
It  all  started  at  10 'o clock in the evening at my house; my parents went to
Austria  for  a  little  trip  and  I decided to do a little party with friends,
ignoring all the consequences.
These  unlucky  guys  were  present:  Barabba, Kichkaha, Willow (+ girlie), Lord
Kada from Skandal and ddt, Mr.  Madness from HBT and of course Macno/Grace (good
times!).
As  usual  there were drinks, junk food, coke and all the other party stuffs....
The  Party  was going on well, we made a kick-off competition, drinked a little,
smoked a little and other nice things..  all in all we were enjoying a lot.
As  I  am  a  terrible  bad  drinker  they told me I was already sleeping at one
o'clock, so I can't tell anything else about the party.


2THE MORNING AFTER

6  o'clock...   terrible  thirst....opened my eyes....  me and Macno in the same
bed!!!...   good  morning  I thought....had a little look around...everybody was
sleeping...the house:  a terrible mess...back to bed.

8   o'clock....   The  Macno's  day  started..   all  awake  trying  to  chat  a
bit.....it's  Macno's time, his phrase came:  "Hey, now that we are all together
why  don't  we do a Different Mag ???  " The air got iced nobody had the courage
to  reply..   "Yes,  a  totally  different  mag with different articles, totally
fucked-up  texts  ..   a  very  Abnormal  mag!"  still  no  replies...."Yes, you
Mr.Madness  will  do the code, Skandal guys will make intros, ddt will spread it
and will be a co-editor,...bla...bla..."
Everything  was decided, he had got terribly clear ideas, it seemed he spent all
the night thinking of it...nobody could stop him....  he spent two hours talking
about it.....  we accepted.
I  realized  that has been my worst scene-error (am I in the scene ?) I accepted
without  thinking  of  the  consequences...yes,  our destiny was signed, we were
devices  now at his own use, his day was that, his brain (?) changed, his target
was found.


2THE CONSEQUENCES

Well,  as  I said before when a man finds his target the others who are near him
are influenced and used, yes, our life changed , we were inconsciously a part of
that target.


2HOW IT HAS DEVELOPED
2(and how we started Spandimerding on Macno)

As  we  all  are  in the same building at the University, it's very easy to meet
(and to reach) each other; that was Macno's advantage, that was our sfiga!
When we meet him this is what happens:
1) He doesn't greet you
2) He  start  asking  :   "Have you done that thing for ABNORMALIA?", "Have you
   spread    ABNORMALIA?",   "Have   you   written   for   ABNORMALIA?",   "Have
   you.....ABNORMALIA?",    "Have   they...    ABNORMALIA?",   "Has   Barabba...
   ABNORMALIA?", "Do you....  ABMORMALIA?", "ABNORMALIA???"
3) He goes away without greeting.

Yes, believe it or not that's tragically true, he can't talk about anything else
than  that  fucking mag (no more a coproduction; this might have saved us but we
were wrong).
Now  a lot of time passed and the mag has grown, but time hasn't changed things:
Abnorlamia  is  still  the  only thing Macno can talk about (I'm thinking of the
good old times of the "PUM, PUM, PUM" intros).
Yes, his few brain cells are devoted to the target..,really.
It's tragic anyway, we all can't stand him anymore, it's impossible to chat with
him  about  anything  else that that shit (!) , that is his only reason to be in
the scene (is he in the scene ?)


2OPEN LETTER TO MACNO

Well,  you  are  destoying  our  balls with your mag, try to examine your way of
acting:   when  we meet you can only ask "Have you.....  for ABNORMALIA ?" isn't
it true ???  yes, it is the shocking truth..


2THE END

I  know I will be hard criticized (by Macno) and more and more loved (!) (by ddt
and the others) but that was the right place and the right way to say it!
Macno, hope you won't hate me more that you've been hating me since now ...  and
I  hope  you  will  still eat (steal) my bubble gums..  but guy, this mag really
stinks !!  (too hard !)
Ok, this letter is over, you will see a lot of intros and a lot of articles from
me  for  this  mag  as  I decided to use ABNORMALIA and his editor as devices to
release some low-quality intros and boring-fake-articles.
This  is really all....  90% of this article is THE PUREST truth (let's say 92%)
the  rest  has  been a bit exaggerated (Macno forced me, he said "Hard words and
wars are k00l !, put some fuckings to me in the text!")

-  There  are  some  omissis  about the party:  i.e Macno got terrible drunk and
fucked three girls at a time while playing kick off with Barabba...  but I can't
write booze'n'sex story about him...(read his article in R.A.W #5)
