Text of the page (random words):
pilgrimages in question are those made by italy coach cesare prandelli and his staff during the euro 2012 soccer championships the first time after beating ireland and reaching the euro quarter finals they went to a camaldolese monastery in the middle of the night a 13 mile walk the camaldolese monks whose origins are in italy but who run a monastery outside krakow met the squad before the tournament and the team staff promised to make a pilgrimage to the monastery if they got out of group c no one expected coach prandelli his backroom team and federation vice president and former midfielder demetrio albertini to take the walk at 3am local time shortly after arriving back in krakow from beating the irish 2 0 in poznan the federation said in a statement that the group who first had to deal with the jokes of the players who went off to bed took three and a half hours to complete the walk and returned to the team base at 7am by car mail online the second time after beating england and reaching the semifinals they went to a franciscan convent near wieliczka a 7 mile nocturnal walk italy s attacking spirit on the field is proving hard to beat coach cesare prandelli s religious commitment is also holding strong for the second time at the european championship prandelli and his entire coaching staff celebrated a victory with a nocturnal pilgrimage to a monastery near the squad s base outside krakow after the win over ireland last week the 14 member group embarked on a 21 kilometer 13 mile trek at 3 a m to a camaldolese monastery this time they got a later start and walked only 11 kilometers 7 miles to a closer monastery the reason for the delay and the shorter trip early monday was because italy required extra time and a penalty shootout to beat england in the quarterfinals on sunday also anti doping authorities held up forward mario balotelli for an hour delaying the flight back from kiev ukraine the team plane touched down in krakow at about 4 a m then once the squad reached the team hotel in wieliczka the players went to bed and the staff including security members and other officials embarked on their pilgrimage sfgate the franciscan convent near wieliczka photo courtesy franciszkanie pl nice story isn t it in these times of doubt and skepticism here is a man of faith of true and simple faith here is a man who lost his wife after a long and painful illness in the middle of a season in 2007 but who did not lost his center here is how he described in an interview he gave to jesus an italian catholic magazine and eventually republished in la repubblica newspaper his own faith experience i grew up in a believing family then when they reach adolescence many make different choices instead i kept on believing and practicing i live my spirituality by attending mass but not only by that asked to explain what he meant by that not only he answered well i m sorry but i don t like very much to talk about what i do they are very private things talking about them makes me feel ill at ease i don t want to put them on display nor do i want people to think that i want to put them on display because i don t have to sell anything to anyone i just think people have to do what they feel they have to do well what to say not that i think that prayers and pilgrimages may grant you victory over your enemies er i mean opponents that would be a bit too easy wouldn t it and yet it is written if god with us who can be against us so if i were you my german and portuguese and spanish friends i d be very careful from now on and don t say i hadn t told you so but that being said may the best team win posted by s r piccoli a 4 07 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette italians religion sport june 18 2012 sunday mornin comin down kris kristofferson perhaps in a sense sunday mornin comin down is not a politically correct song or at least it s not a philosophically innocuous one if i may say so about a country music song because much more than many other country hits it intrinsically celebrates traditional values though in its own way and despite its author being a liberal as the lyrics show even though it was written by kris kristofferson and first recorded by ray stevens in 1969 it was johnny cash who made it a hit when he released a version of the song in 1970 on his live album the johnny cash show most recently willie nelson released his own version of the song on his 2011 album remember me vol 1 yet my favorite version is the one shown in the video below performed by johnny cash and kris kristofferson together two country music legends what to say about the two performers well as for the first a lot of what i have to say about him as well as other country music icons i already said on several other posts but then again what could i say about the great johnny cash that has not been said better by others more qualified than me on the contrary by pure chance and without any design or purpose i never mentioned kris kristofferson before so it s time to right that wrong the cover art for highwayman album kris kristofferson is one of the most acclaimed artists of our time and one of the biggest names in the country music realm the son of mary ann and lars henry kristofferson a u s army air corps officer of swedish descent and he himself a u s army officer for five years despite his family s military tradition kris is a natural born artist singer songwriter he is the sole writer of most of his songs and musician as well as a film actor in 1985 he joined waylon jennings willie nelson and johnny cash in forming the country music supergroup the highwaymen which had a big influence on the outlaw country subgenre as for the song here is an interesting account kris kristofferson wrote this song while living in a run down tenement in nashville when he was working as a janitor for columbia records a strange occupation considering he had a master s degree from oxford university and risen to the rank of captain in the us army but kristofferson wanted to be a songwriter so he turned down a professor position at the u s military academy at west point and swept floors at columbia waiting for his break in the military kristofferson learned to fly planes and he worked as a commercial helicopter pilot in nashville and the story of how he got his demo tape of this song to cash has become legend he flew his national guard helicopter to cash s front yard where he landed and delivered the tape the story is often skewed to imply that cash had never met kristofferson but they had known each other since 1965 in a 2008 interview with the san luis obispo tribune kristofferson explained i knew john before then i d been his janitor at the recording studio and i d pitched him every song i ever wrote so he knew who i was but it was still kind of an invasion of privacy that i wouldn t recommend to be honest i don t think he was there he had a whole story about me getting out of the helicopter with a tape in one hand and a beer in the other john had a pretty creative memory but i would never have disputed his version of what happened because he was so responsible for any success i had as a songwriter and performer he put me on the stage the first time i ever was during a performance at the newport folk festival in a 2009 rolling stone article about kris kristofferson that was written by ethan hawke it explains that kris made johnny cash listen to the song before removing the helicopter after hearing it cash said he liked his songs so much that i would take them off and not let anybody else hear them cash recorded the song live on the johnny cash show and before the show abc censors asked him to change the lyrics wishing lord that i was stoned to wishing lord that i was home cash sang it the way kristofferson wrote it and even stressed the word stoned nice story isn t it and now enjoy the song posted by s r piccoli a 2 50 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette music june 16 2012 the lady twenty one years after aung san suu kyi gives her nobel lecture daniel sannum lauten afp getty images often during my days of house arrest it felt as though i were no longer a part of the real world there was the house which was my world there was the world of others who also were not free but who were together in prison as a community and there was the world of the free each was a different planet pursuing its own separate course in an indifferent universe what the nobel peace prize did was to draw me once again into the world of other human beings outside the isolated area in which i lived to restore a sense of reality to me this
