MY IDOL´S CONVERSATION (4/10/2007)
Esperanza would like to meet José Antonio Labordeta and we have imagined a possible conversation. Here it is.
- Excuse me, you must be J.A.L., are we right? I´ve got a book written by you. Could you write something for me in the first page?
- Of course, it will be a pleasure.
- Sorry, I haven’t told you my name. I´m Esperanza and I’m pleased to meet you.
- It’s always nice to meet people who know you.
- I’ve watched you on TV, walking around Spain with your rucksack and talking with local people. Could you tell me a good place in the North to spend a weekend?
- You can go to the Pyrenees, it’s a really wonderful place.
- I know, thank you. And Where would you like to write a new book? Do you feel comfortable here in Zaragoza or would you prefer another place? I love going to the mountains and especially writing on rainy days.
- You have caught me red-handed. Now I´m writing a new book, I hope you like it.
- I'm sure it will be very good, I am fond of your books. Well, I want to tell you something. Many years ago, you went to a fair in Madrid. I was working in that fair and you gave a concert. Then we had dinner all together. That was in 1.988, do you remember that?
- Let me think…that was too many years ago and I visit too many places so I don´t remember that moment, sorry.
- It doesn´t matter. I have enjoyed a lot talking with you. Thank you very much and have a nice day!!!

- Hello Fernando! Nice to meet you! I like Formula 1 very much, and I follow you every weekend on TV. How are you?
- Ok, I am now calm and concentrated for the pole position.
- Is it very important to achieve the pole position in this circuit?
- Oh! Yes, to start from the first place gives a lot of posibilities to win the race. I need ten points and good luck, too.
- Do you like Interlagos?
- Interlagos is a very special circuit for me because I have won my two titles here.
- Do you believe that you have any possibilities to win here?
- There are possibilities but it is very difficult. It doesn't depend only on myself.
- Do you trust in your team?
- Not at all. Zero, zero, zero.
Ja, ja, Ok Fernando, a more question, will you get dressed in red next year? - Good question but I still don't know it.
