Repubblica.it: Addio a Umberto Bossi, quando diceva: “Io Garibaldi me lo fumo”. E arrivava a 40 sigari per notte

Il suo popolo lo aveva acclamato come capo, poi lo aveva relegato in un angolo dopo lo scandalo familistico di Gemonio, i lingotti in Tanzania, il bancomat e le finte lauree del “Trota”

Farewell to Umberto Bossi, who used to say: “I smoke a Garibaldi.” And he would consume 40 cigars a night.

His people had acclaimed him as a leader, then relegated him to a corner after the Gemonio family scandal, the tungsten ingots in Tanzania, the ATMs, and the fake degrees of “The Trout.”

There are certain songs/lieder that every former music major knows, because we all had the same listening exams.

Then there's Schubert "Die Forelle," which now apparently half the world knows because someone turned it into a jingle on a dang washing machine. #TheTrout #MusicMajor #SchubertGetsClothesClean
