"The track used for the Allen Ginsberg poem 'America' was one of the first recordings we made in Danesmote. It was given the working title 'Drunk Chicken.' It's all Eno in truth, Brian started the improvisation and although we were all willing it never quite got past its Enoesque origins. It's clear from this track that we were still searching for clues, looking for the end of the thread." - The Edge, The Joshua Tree 2007

The English spoken at CERN has some peculiarities: e.g. it is oversimplified, and colloquialisms are often translated literally... By analyzing the text, we might guess that the CERNglish speaker is from Italy, probably from Tuscany :)

L’11 novembre di ogni anno, in Canada, è il Remembrance day, il giorno in cui il paese si ferma – alle 11 di mattina – in ricordo dei caduti canadesi in tutte le guerre. È una data molto sentita, tanto nel 2001, a due mesi esatti dall’attacco terroristico a New York e a Washington.
Rick Ouston, il giornalista canadese che ha seguito di persona tutto il processo di primo grado a Verona, sollevando nella sua città lo scandalo della presenza a Vancouver di un criminale di guerra, ha pensato che bisognasse fare qualcosa per ricordare questo scandalo nel giorno in cui si commemorano le vittime delle guerre. Rick ha scritto al nostro sito, e in pochi giorni abbiamo trovato la soluzione. Mary Rizzo, italo-americana che collaborava con noi come traduttrice, si è messa prontamente a disposizione. Insieme abbiamo riletto "Bortolo e l’ebreeta", di Egidio Meneghetti; Mary ha tradotto in inglese il testo;... (Continues)

In the silence of the night, in the man’s conspiratorial dark, a cry rips the sleepy eardrum of a sleeping city. We come from a little city in Milan northern suburs, that at morning shows her smiling, right-thinking face and hides at night, leaving space to the bray of a donkey, that really almost all the evenings crosses the streets of the village, as if he screams in pain for his conditions, and those of the world in which he lives. Our city is also home of many workers, being this an industrial area, a working class pushed in search of gentrification, of the refusal of her being, bombed by the biggest shopping centers in the world and by the filths of EXPO, a working class made tame and domesticated by XXI century’s medieval moralism. Donkey metaphorically represents this class, Our class, because they think that we are stupid, stubborn, boorish pack animals, useful for work and for being beaten by masters at any attempt of revolt.

LITTLE SIR HUGH - Steeleye Span
