Chuck Berry : inauguracion estatua
El pionero del rock and roll Chuck Berry, activo y sonriente a los 84 años de edad, recibió el viernes una ovación al inaugurar una estatua de bronce de sí mismo de 2,4 metros ante los vítores de unas 500 personas.
La estatua fue erigida en el distrito bohemio de Delmar Loop en St. Louis, a pesar de que algunas personas se opusieron al monumento, aduciendo los problemas legales de Berry durante su extensa carrera.
"No voy a tardar mucho", dijo Berry, que llevaba su tradicional gorro marinero ante una multitud que se reunió a pesar de un calor que superó los 32 grados. "No sé hablar, sólo canto un poco. Les voy a dar las gracias de nuevo, y decirles que les quiero a todos", agregó.
Las rápidas letras de Berry y sus revolucionarios riffs de guitarra le valieron ingresar al Salón de la Fama del Rock y una medalla de honor presidencial.
Está considerado como uno de los cinco mejores autores de rock de todos los tiempos por la revista Rolling Stone, junto a los Beatles, Bob Dylan, los Rolling Stones y Elvis Presley.
Berry, que tocó por primera vez en 1941, todavía aparece cada mes en Blueberry Hill, justo enfrente de la estatua.
Entre quienes enviaron sus saludos a Berry estuvieron Elvis Costello, que aseguró que estaba contento de ver una estatua de Berry "en St. Louis, a donde pertenece" y el también pionero del rock Little Richard, que calificó a Berry de "el mayor artista del mundo".
A Berry, que ha vivido toda su vida en St. Louis, le acompañaron en el estrado su esposa, hijos y nietos, que se sumaron a sus admiradores cantando "Johnny B. Goode", su clásico éxito de 1957, mientras la estrella del rock caminaba entre la multitud al finalizar la ceremonia.
Una plaza cerca de la estatua tiene las paredes iluminadas con las notas musicales grabadas con láser de "Johnny B. Goode". En la acera hay escritas letras de las canciones de Berry.
La oposición a la estatua comenzó a principios de año, cuando un ex miembro del ayuntamiento de la ciudad reunió 100 firmas para postergar su instalación.
Los que se oponen alegan que Berry fue hallado culpable de delitos graves al comienzo de su carrera, incluido el de llevar a una mujer a otro estado con propósitos inmorales en 1962.
Berry pasó tres años en prisión, donde escribió varias canciones, incluida "No Particular Place to Go".
El músico se desmayó durante un concierto en Chicago el día de Año Nuevo pasado, pero se recuperó a tiempo para su siguiente espectáculo en St. Louis y no mostró signos preocupantes en la ceremonia de inauguración.
