Niet op gerekend. Leuk is anders, maar de dokter zei bij het afscheid dat ik nog makkelijk negentig kan worden. Aardige man. Ik zocht een schrijver die mij een beetje kon beschermen tegen gepieker en vroeg mijn vrouw een paar boeken van Maarten Biesheuvel mee te nemen. Dat hielp. Viermaal daags. Geweldige Maarten, wie leest hem nog? Ik heb eerlijk gezegd geen idee. Ik hoor er nooit iemand over. Is dat erg? Natuurlijk niet, jammer is het wel. Zolang is hij nog niet dood. Zes jaar nog maar. Maar goed, ik plonste weer eens in zijn korte verhalen. Heerlijke duik. Ik gun iedereen het tedere gevoel van een openingszin als: &#8220;Vader; je bent nu dood, maar deze geschiedenis herinner je je nog wel; het was een wonderschone dag toen jij en ik op stap; op vakantie gingen.&#8221; Die zoonlieve correctie van &#8216;op stap&#8217; naar &#8216;op vakantie.&#8217; Ach, hele oeuvres ruil ik in voor deze ene zin. Het zijn de eerste regels van het verhaal &#8216;Het wonder.&#8217; Biesheuvels verhalen behoren tot de beste die er in de wereld te koop zijn. Ik reken hem zelfs tot de allerbeste. En daarachter een mooie tweede groep in de achtervolging met Guy de Maupassant, Alice Munro, Roald Dahl, Tsjechov en Tobias Wolff. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Maarten Biesheuvel: Goede reis, Johannes </h4><p>Lees nou zelf. Zo begint het verhaal <em>Goede reis, Johannes.</em> Het verhaal van een ketelbinkie. &#8220;Was hij nog maar eventjes in zijn bed blijven liggen, wat had je eraan om er zo vroeg uit te komen? Zelfs als het en belangrijke dag was. Twee uur eerder dan gewoonlijk is Johannes uit bed gekropen om de koffer nog eens na te kijken. Het is wel een oud koffertje, maar het kan er nog best mee door.&#8221;<br>Is deze Johannes niet al in 59 woorden het broertje van Kees de jongen? Zijn zij allebei niet zowat de belangrijkste jongens die ooit hebben bestaan? En hou je je hart niet vast voor deze Johannes? Hoe krijg je zoveel sentiment en zenuwen in &#233;&#233;n zin bij elkaar?</p><h4>2. Tobias Wolff: Kogel in het brein</h4><p>Amerikaanse grootmeester. Leeft nog. Zijn <em>Bullit in the Brain</em> heb ik denk ik wel twintig keer gelezen. <em>Kogel in het brein. </em>Hoofdpersoon Anders, een verbitterde literair criticus, staat te wachten in een rij als de bank waarin hij zich bevindt wordt beroofd. Anders is niet bang en begint de bankovervallers te jennen. Die waarschuwen hem, maar hij gaat door. Een van de overvallers schiet uiteindelijk een kogel door Anders&#8217; hoofd. En dan beginnen de wonderlijke alinea&#8217;s waarin de vernietigende kogel, in de laatste seconden van Anders&#8217; leven, herinneringen opent. Niet aan vrouw of kinderen, maar aan een zomerse honkbalmiddag uit zijn jeugd. En de ongrammaticale zin die een van de jongetjes die middag uitsprak: &#8220;Short&#8217;s the best position they is.&#8221;  De allerlaatste woorden zingt Anders vlak voor zijn hemelvaart zachtjes voor zich uit: <em>They is, they is, they is. </em>Zoals Mulisch al zei: een schrijver moet het raadsel vergroten. </p><h4>4. Roald Dahl: Mevrouw Bixby en de mantel van de kolonel</h4><p>Natuurlijk uit <em>Kiss Kiss,</em> zijn verhalenbundel uit 1960. Vertaald: <em>Op weg naar de hemel.</em> Stond bij mijn ouders in de kast en het was een van de eerste grote-mensen-boeken die ik als kind las. Meesterlijke verhalen. Stuk voor stuk. Milde suspense, maar altijd met die weergaloze Dahl-twist. In <em>Mevrouw Bixby en de mantel van de kolonel </em>bedriegt iedereen iedereen, maar niemand kan verhaal halen. Waarom niet? Ik verklap niks. Ik gun iedereen die deze verhalen nog niet kent een onbevangen, hagelwitte lectuur. </p><p>Fijne dag!</p><p><em>Matthijs van Nieuwkerk</em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/medicijnen-tegen-gepieker?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Delen&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/medicijnen-tegen-gepieker?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Delen</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[3 keer kijken naar Sonja]]></title><description><![CDATA[En dan proberen het net zo goed te doen]]></description><link>https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-keer-kijken-naar-sonja</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-keer-kijken-naar-sonja</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matthijs van Nieuwkerk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:02:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aBIK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd1a63d7-1979-4db5-b4d8-1139bfb90ed5_2436x1494.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sonja Barend kreeg een mooie uitvaart gisteren op tv.

Onze mater familias. Haar naam staat sinds 2009 in grote, rode, plastic letters op mijn schouw. Het was de allereerste Award. Hij werd gebracht door de fotograaf die mij ermee op de kiek moest zetten. &#8216;Cheese.&#8217; En foetsie was de fotograaf alweer. Toen nog geen tafel met confetti en champagne, geen woorden van Sonja. Helemaal niet erg. Ik was er blij mee. Ik heb de naam Sonja Barend voor altijd knalrood in huis. Gisteren brandde er een kaarsje naast. </p><p>Je zou kunnen verdedigen dat bij zo&#8217;n groot meesterschap als dat van Sonja, de culturele dienstplicht hoort om het &#8216;vak&#8217; door te geven aan leerlingen. Dat is bij de televisie lastiger dan bij een meubelmaker of een slager. Of liever, onmogelijk. Er zijn niet veel wetten, wel veel wegen naar Rome, en het meest betrouwbare kompas is je eigen <em>gut feeling. </em>Geef daar maar eens les in. <br>Dus als je tafelhoofd wil worden, of pardoes wordt, moet je <em>kijken. </em>Veel kijken naar anderen, naar voorgangers, naar collega&#8217;s in het buitenland; allemaal onbezoldigde docenten. En dus ook (terug)kijken naar Sonja. Dat deed ik zeker. Nou en of. En wat je dan bevalt, ga je proberen na te doen. De enige die het weet ben jij. Koppie dicht. Kijken of het lukt. Imitatio. Nu een brevet van armoede, bij de Grieken de hoogste vorm van eer. </p><h3>3 keer met dank aan Sonja Barend </h3><h4>1. Het afstaan van je stoel. </h4><p>Sonja stond ooit, in de hitte van een vrolijke tafel-fittie tussen Boudewijn Buch en Adelheid Roosen, haar troon af aan Buch. Veel vertoond fragment gisteren. Deze herinnering gaf mij de moed om tijdens eens DWDD-aflevering waarin Rafael van der Vaart onze slotgast was, aan de ernstig zieke Kunststof-presentatrice Jellie Brouwer, die ik in diezelfde uitzending sprak, te vragen of <em>zij </em>Rafael niet wilde interviewen. Dat wilde ze wel. Een stralende Jellie ging op mijn stoel zitten en stal de show. </p><h4>2. De gewone(re) Nederlander</h4><p>Wat ons gisteren ook werd ingepeperd; Sonja gaf veel ruimte aan de &#8216;gewone&#8217; Nederlander. De tijden zijn inderdaad veranderd. De tafels zijn na Sonja vooral het domein van bekendere landgenoten; een vermeend kijkcijfer-dictaat, waar ik eerlijk gezegd ook niet helemaal ongevoelig voor was. Maar toen DWDD een boekenpanel in het leven riep, kozen wij voor boekhandelaren en niet voor bekende Nederlandse lezers. In de geest van Sonja Barend.  </p><h4>3. Stiltes</h4><p>Voor dit examen ben ik zelden geslaagd, maar hoe vaak begon ik niet aan een gesprek met de opdracht: durf te wachten, denk aan Sonja. Ik wilde in die gesprekken niet de beste vraag, maar de beste pauze. Het vraagt veel lef. Zwijgen is een delicaat instrument in de interview-kist. Ik werd er door Oefening Baart Kunst wel ietsjes beter in, maar Sonja&#8217;s machtige wapen van de stilte heb ik nooit echt onder de knie gekregen.  </p><p></p><p>Fijne dag!</p><p><em>Matthijs van Nieuwkerk</em></p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-keer-kijken-naar-sonja?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Delen&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-keer-kijken-naar-sonja?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Delen</span></a></p><h4></h4><p></p><p><br></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[3 maal Gerry Mulligan, met baard]]></title><description><![CDATA[Een antwoord op mister X]]></description><link>https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-maal-gerry-mulligan-met-baard</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/3-maal-gerry-mulligan-met-baard</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matthijs van Nieuwkerk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:00:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ebKv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fed5619-4be9-4ab2-b474-4bc9e857b8e0_614x460.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even heel kort: ik wierp de baldadige vraag op wat de beste drie nummers zijn van Gerry Mulligan, met baard. Het bleef doodstil in de zaal. No offense. Natuurlijk niet. A: Wie durft er in een volle schouwburg op te staan en het woord te nemen? B: Wie weet wie Gerry Mulligan is? C: En als je weet wie Gerry Mulligan is, heb je dan ooit over deze nutteloze vraag nagedacht?<br>Na afloop komt er een man naar me toe. Wat die beste drie nummers dan zijn? Ik heb Mister X beloofd dat ik het antwoord vandaag zou opschrijven. </p><p>Korte inleiding: Gerry Mulligan (1927-1996) was de beste bariton-saxofonist van de jazz. Zette in de jaren vijftig samen met trompettist Chet Baker de west coast op stelten. Cool Jazz. Mooie jongens. Gerry had een fraaie <em>crew cut. </em>Hij speelde later met de allerbeste jan &amp; alleman, formeerde trio&#8217;s, kwartetten, kwintetten, sextetten en een eigen Concert Jazz Band. En kreeg een baard. Ik zag Gerry met zijn big band op het North Sea Jazz festival ergens begin jaren negentig. Gerry had inmiddels een hagelwitte baard.<br>Hij oogde vermoeid, de <em>days of wine &amp; roses</em> lagen achter hem, zoveel was duidelijk. Hij dirigeerde meer dan hij blies. Maar als hij die grote sax aan zijn mond zette, was de <em>old magic</em> er weer. Voor heel even. Een zoete echo uit vervlogen tijden. </p><p>Maar al lagen de beste platen en -concerten al een aantal sprankelende straten achter hem, toch heeft de Gerry-met-baard nog een paar erg mooie nummers gemaakt. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Een try-out in theater De Naald in Naaldwijk. Merci beaucoup voor de geweldige sfeer. Thuisgekomen kan ik nog lang niet slapen en bak ik middernachtelijk een biefstukje. <br>En meteen ter zake: dat lijkt eenvoudig. Dat is het niet. Er is een kleine bibliotheek over volgeschreven. Wat nauw luistert is dat je wacht op het &#8216;zingen&#8217; van de boter. Dat wil zeggen: als de eetlepel boter in de pan is gekieperd, wordt de lap vlees er pas bijgelegd als de boter &#8216;zingt&#8217;, anderen spreken van &#8216;gedempt keuvelen.&#8217; Keuvelt de boter nog niet dan ben je twee treinen te vroeg, heeft de boter inmiddels praatjes, ben je drie vliegtuigen te laat.<br>Koken is niet eenvoudig. Ik doe het graag, maar ik heb er veel meer lol in dan talent voor. Daar zit een zekere tragiek in. Weet ik. Ik heb eerlijk gezegd nog eerder een Zwitsers klokje in elkaar gezet dan een karpertje op de juiste wijze van zijn staartje beroofd. <br>Genoeg hierover. Midnight biefstukje was ok&#233;.

Alain Passard</h4><p>God in Frankrijk. L&#8217;Arp&#232;ge heet zijn restaurant. In Parijs. Hij durfde het aan, met drie sterren op zijn muts, het vlees de keuken uit te kieperen en bijna geheel vegetarisch te gaan koken. Zelfmoord, schreven de culinaire pennetjes. Alain wist wat hij deed. De drie sterren zijn nooit in gevaar geweest. Na het zien van <em>Chef&#8217;s Table</em> boekte ik een tafel. Aan het eind van de lunch maakte mooie Alain een ere-rondje door de zaak. Daarbij gaf hij de heren een knikje en de dames een handkus.

Hij praat graag in raadselen over vrijheid, trouw en onrust. Maakt niet uit. Laat hem. Ik bezocht ooit in Miami een restaurant met de naam Mallmann groot op de gevel.

Dat is lang geleden. Morgen is het natuurlijk voor het eggie, maar ik wil heel rustig zij-instromen. De laatste keer dat ik erbij was, zong ik mee met het kinderkoor van de Sint Vitus Kerk in Hilversum. Dat heb ik denk een keer of drie gedaan. Mijn vader en moeder zaten trots op de eerste rij, daarnaast gaapten mijn broertje en zusje zich naar een wereldrecord en dirigent Hans van den Berg sloeg de maat. <br>Lange, koude avonden. Er kwam geen eind aan. <em>Erbarme mich z</em>ei mijn vriendje Johnny Westhof altijd gevat als we onze pijen weer aantrokken. Katholieke jongens waren we. Maar niet lang meer. Er hing iets in de lucht, we waren denk ik 12 jaar. Na de zomer lonkte de middelbare school. Ik schreef maar vast &#8216;Clapton is God&#8217; op mijn nieuwe schooltas. Waarom wist ik niet precies, maar ik had mijn laatste wees gegroetjes gebeden. Naar de kerk ben ik nooit meer geweest. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg" width="448" height="290.304" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:324,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:448,&quot;bytes&quot;:27230,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;El Cristo' van Dal&#237; keert na 70 jaar terug naar Spanje | Otheo&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="El Cristo' van Dal&#237; keert na 70 jaar terug naar Spanje | Otheo" title="El Cristo' van Dal&#237; keert na 70 jaar terug naar Spanje | Otheo" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dOnX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5add8fd0-749f-42de-b5a7-c84da09a2bc8_500x324.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Maar vanavond, na meer dan vijftig jaar, ben ik weer terug in de kerk.

Eerst dat zoete gitaartje, daarna die door godgeschonken stem van Piet Veerman. Het was mijn eerste singeltje, maar zeker niet het beste nummer van The Cats. <br><br>Ik heb al hun platen verzameld. We hebben heel veel later, bij DWDD, ontzettend ons best gedaan om zanger Piet Veerman voor een hommage in onze studio uit te nodigen. Stem als een misthoorn. Hij zong met gemak het IJsselmeer over. Maar voor Piet hoefde het niet zo nodig.<br> </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:548,&quot;bytes&quot;:75555,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;The Cats - Collected, The Cats | Muziek | bol&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="The Cats - Collected, The Cats | Muziek | bol" title="The Cats - Collected, The Cats | Muziek | bol" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l9Rl!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7fbd3a7a-3353-447a-9bd5-5df0d5da6491.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">The Cats, rechts Piet Veerman</figcaption></figure></div><p>Er is na The Cats veel meer muziek in Volendam gemaakt, je kan er eigenlijk nooit kwaad op worden, maar we bellen elkaar niet op.<br>Tim Knol schrijft dat zijn liefde voor The Cats in Caf&#233; Swaf in Hoorn is begonnen, waar <em>Don&#8217;t waste your time</em> uit de boxen schalde.

Keith Jarret (1945)</h4><p>Leeft nog. Kan door een verlamming nog maar met &#233;&#233;n hand spelen. Doet dat alleen nog <em>en famille. </em>Kreunt wel luidruchtig door al zijn live-opnames heen, maar soit. The best. Niet alleen door zijn grote wereldhit, <em>The K&#246;ln Concert</em>, dat kreeg in 1975 misschien zelfs iets teveel applaus. Maar vooral door zijn onge&#235;venaarde lyriek.

Oscar Peterson (1925-2007)</h4><p>Ik zag hem ooit uit een taxi getild worden bij het North Sea Jazz Festival, toen nog in Den Haag. Jaren tachtig. Ik schrok me een hoedje. Alles veel te zwaar, behalve later op de middag zijn touch&#233;. Solo, trio, en met het hele jazz-soepie. Iedereen wilde met Oscar de dansvloer op.

tv-successen met zijn <em>Grayson&#8217;s Art Club, </em>een razendsnel impromptu op de lockdown. Het idee was heel eenvoudig: Perry gaf vanuit zijn atelier masterclasses, bij voorbeeld portret-schilderen. En besprak in dat programma ook de huisvlijt die kijkers hem stuurden op de vraag: teken je huisgenoot. Kunst als troost. Een miljoen kijkers per aflevering.<br>En nu lees ik <em>Mannen. </em>Inzet: de man moet op de schop. Ik citeer: &#8220;Je hoeft je ogen maar open te doen en je ziet dat de man iets afschuwelijks doet. Verkrachters, criminelen, corrupte politici, moordenaars, belastingontduikers, saaie tafelgasten hebben vaak de neiging om&#8230;nou ja mannen te zijn.&#8221; De ouderwetse aap, jagend naar status en seks moet begraven worden. En als ik Perry vrij mag vertalen: die kuil moet de man zelf graven. Als-ie tenminste ballen heeft. Wie durft het Minsterie van Mannelijkheid, zoals Perry het noemt, de rug toe te keren? <em>Grayson Perry for Queen</em>, het zal vast ergens in een Engelse binnenstad op een muur zijn gekalkt. In de kleurigste letters hoop ik. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Abonneren&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;nl&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Typ je e-mailadres&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Abonneren"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><h3>De 3 kleurrijkste moderne Engelsmannen</h3><h4>1.

Hij overleed vorig jaar, 83 jaar. Joost heeft een seizoen lang in ons tv-programma <em>Matthijs Gaat Door </em>wekelijks een liefdesgedicht voorgedragen. In de rubriek &#8216;Hotel Prinsen&#8217;. Uit het hoofd. Uiteraard. Hoeveel gedichten lagen er niet veilig opgeborgen in Joosts bovenzolder? Hommes de lettres. Joost was acteur en <em>speelde</em> de po&#235;zie. Het waren colleges Lyriek.

Frekie (tekst: Willem Wilmink, muziek: Harry Bannink)</h4><p>Uit <em>De Stratemakeropzeeshow. </em>Het was Sinterklaasavond 1974 toen we het Joost hoorden zingen. Veel betere kindertelevisie is er niet gemaakt. In het liedje zitten woorden die Willem Wilmink denk ik nu niet meer zou opschrijven; &#8216;mongool&#8217; en &#8216;imbiciele jongen&#8217;. Toen heel gewoon, nu kiezen we onze woorden anders.  </p><div id="youtube2-6fH-59ivr3U" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;6fH-59ivr3U&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6fH-59ivr3U?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p></p><h4>2. Pieleman (tekst: Hans Dorrestijn, muziek Harry Bannink)</h4><p>Een lekker stout liedje uit 1979. Pieleman, pieleman, trek er maar eens lekker aan. Alles aan dit clipje is ijzersterk. Ook de naam van de pianist en de zanger. </p><div id="youtube2-A_5AzvlzKAE" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;A_5AzvlzKAE&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/A_5AzvlzKAE?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p></p><h4>3. Oorlog (tekst: Willem Wilmink, muziek Harry Bannink)</h4><p>Uit de <em>J.J. De Bom voorheen De Kindervriend</em>. 1980. "t Was oorlog, we zaten gewoon in de klas. Je was bang voor een vak waar je slecht in was. Je was bang voor een beurt, zo ineens voor het bord. Niet bang voor de oorlog, maar voor je rapport.&#8221; Wat een dichter is Willem Wilmink toch. </p><div id="youtube2-SoB4bTuuWw8" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;SoB4bTuuWw8&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SoB4bTuuWw8?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p></p><p>Fijne dag!</p><p><em>Matthijs van Nieuwkerk</em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/pieleman-pieleman?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Delen&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/pieleman-pieleman?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Delen</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wie is de scherpste in de USA?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jimmy Kimmel vs Stephen Colbert]]></description><link>https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/en-de-winnaar-is</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/p/en-de-winnaar-is</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matthijs van Nieuwkerk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:00:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sb2Y!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F801f7096-0940-40cc-8a28-a547a9f47e51_1486x614.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bij de ochtendstond hoort een vast parcours.

Claim to fame: Woodstock, <em>Gimme an F,</em> de sixties. <br>Maar Bob drinkt zijn koffie nog, dus tijd voor de tweede ochtend-etappe; het op youtube zoeken naar de openingsmonologen van Jimmy Kimmel en Stephen Colbert. Twee dagelijkse, late-night talkshowreuzen in Amerika. <br>De shows zijn meestal net afgelopen als ik er, rond zeven uur &#8216;s ochtends, goed voor ga zitten.

Deze aversie is niet minder dan een komieke goudmijn. En er is altijd wat; een oorlog, onwillige ministers, Epstein-files, ICE in de straten en ander ongemak. Stephen en Jimmy hebben het dan ook nergens anders over. Niet onbelangrijk, Trump kan er niet om lachen. Stephen Colbert moet dit bekopen met een laatste uitzending op 21 mei a.s. Finito. Basta. Byebye. Zender CBS noemde het een financi&#235;le beslissing; dat was meteen de beste grap van de avond. Alleen al het vermoeden van Trumps toorn doet bange directiekamers schudden. Kimmel was door zijn zender ABC zelfs al een keer naar huis gestuurd. Omdat hij niet wenselijk had gereageerd na de moord op de conservatieve activist Charlie Kirk. Het land liep te hoop, freedom of speech etc. Jimmy mocht terug. De druk werd te groot. Vooruit dan maar. Gekruid sfeertje. </p><p>Over naar de de Best Of. Wie is de beste? Dat was heel lang Stephen Colbert. Hij staat ietsjes lichter op de voeten; <em>float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. </em>Bijzaak; hij kan zijn wenkbrauwen als rupsen over zijn voorhoofd laten lopen. Apart. Colbert blijft een nar. Jimmy Kimmel is serieuzer. En juist daarmee wint hij het de laatste maanden. Hij staat er misschien een beetje zoutzakkerig bij, maar hij draagt het woeden der gehele wereld op zijn schouders. Dat zie je. Het is Jimmy meer ernst dan Stephen en dat maakt zijn grappen beter, scherper en persoonlijker. Good old David Letterman noemde Kimmel; &#8216;the leader of the resistance.&#8217;<br>En als je nu denkt, waarom wordt de populaire late-night talkshowhost Jimmy Fallon niet genoemd? Vedergewicht Fallon is er voor zon- en feestdagen, en daar zijn er de laatste tijd nu eenmaal minder van. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Abonneren&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;nl&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Typ je e-mailadres&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Abonneren"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><h3>Top 2 Late-Night Talkshows in Amerika</h3><h4>1.

En heb ik de partij Jan Timman- Nigel Short uit 1991 nog eens nagespeeld. De partij met Het Damesoffer. Sweet memories. Mijn journalistieke loopbaan begon met schaken. Begin jaren tachtig schreef ik samen met Mark van den Heuvel mijn eerste stukken voor <em>Het Parool.</em> We vielen als fanatieke amateur-spelers met onze kont in de boter, want schaken was in die jaren onversneden rock-&#8216;n-roll. Althans in ons land. En ook maar heel even. Muziekkrant Oor knalde een foto van Jan Timman op de cover met de tekst; &#8216;The Best of The Rest.&#8217; Want zo was het. De Russen Anatoli Karpov en het nieuwe wonderkind Gari Kasparov maakten weliswaar onderling wel uit wie de beste was, wij hadden Nummer Drie. En hoop doet leven. Op die hoge golf van spanning &amp; sensatie surfden wij een jaartje pagina-groot met alle hoofdrolspelers mee. Totdat duidelijk werd dat Timman de kroon nooit op zijn hoofd zou zetten en de schaakkopij een droeve aftocht inzette richting het vertrouwde reservaatje in de zaterdagkrant.</p><div

achterbank van een taxi, 1983. Ik reed mee van Brussel naar Amsterdam. Ik weet nog: we maakten een tussenstop in een de asgrauwe buitenwijken van Brussel. Voor een postzegelzaakje. Karpov had er een zeldzame postzegel besteld. Toen Karpov de auto uit was, vroeg de chauffeur wie deze snuiter was. Ik zei dat het de wereldkampioen schaken was. De chauffeur draaide zich om. Viesser? Nee niet Fischer. De man tikte met zijn vinger op zijn voorhoofd. Gekke lui, die schakers. Een van de saaiere van al die gekke lui kwam inmiddels het zaakje alweer uit. Terug op de achterbank streelde Karpov zijn nieuwe zegel als een pasgeboren baby. Ik vroeg hem naar de eindbestemming: een kluis in Moskou. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Abonneer nu&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/subscribe?"><span>Abonneer nu</span></a></p><h3>De 3 beste schaakboeken </h3><h4>1. Walter Tevis: The Queen&#8217;s Gambit, 1983</h4><p>Het boek is zelfs beter dan de bejubelde Netflix-serie. Walter Tevis kreeg in 2020 de hele wereld aan het schaken. Hij heeft het alleen zelf niet meegemaakt. Arme Walter. Hij overleed in 1984. Een jaar daarvoor had hij <em>The Queen&#8217;s Gambit</em> geschreven. Het is het sprookje van de jonge vrouw Beth Harmon die uiteindelijk de Russische wereldkampioen verslaat. Tevis schreef in het nawoord: &#8216;Het superieure schaakspel van grootmeesters als Robert Fischer, Boris Spasski en Anatoli Karpov is jarenlang een bron van genot geweest voor spelers als ik.&#8217;  Het was zijn dank-je -wel-voor-alles.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg" width="302" height="450.3611650485437" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:768,&quot;width&quot;:515,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:302,&quot;bytes&quot;:105621,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;The Queen's Gambit Wallpapers - Wallpaper Cave&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="The Queen's Gambit Wallpapers - Wallpaper Cave" title="The Queen's Gambit Wallpapers - Wallpaper Cave" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ffpO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08710337-b8af-425d-8064-f973b1bccacb_515x768.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><h4>2.

De balkondeuren staan open en Lee Hazlewood schalt door het huis. Lee hoort bij de lente als Milaan-San Remo, de krokussen, de eerste ros&#233; en een jas-wissel aan de kapstok. <br>Maar Lee dus. Hij zingt ons alle lentes door. In de zomer zwaait hij af. Seizoensarbeid. Ach, had ik maar de stem van Lee Hazlewood. Zo begon mijn liefde. Hebzucht. Ik heb zijn stem niet. Daar kunnen we kort over zijn. Eeuwig jammer. Ik zou van de wind leven. Reizend langs &#8216;s Heeren wegen. En heel af en toe zou ik mijn mond open doen. En de mensen zouden soep en brood voor me neerzetten als ik, alsjeblieft, nog &#233;&#233;n keer iets zou willen zeggen. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Dat wist Lee ook wel. Het was niet minder dan zijn culturele dienstplicht dit godsgeschenk met ons te delen. Lee ging zingen. Jaren zestig. Hij werd er wat bekender mee, maar ik beschouw hem toch als een van de meest onderschatte zangers in de popmuziek. Toevallig noemde Nick Cave laatst zijn naam in een interview, wie weet beleeft Lage Lee nog eens een renaissance. Maar laten we nergens op rekenen. </p><p>Terug naar de jaren zestig. Lee Hazlewood zocht een sopraan naast zijn eigen <em>wall-of-low.</em> Goed gezien. Nancy Sinatra werd zijn muze. Nancy, dochter van vader Frank. Ook een verhaal trouwens: Frank Sinatra die de pech had te overlijden tijdens de allerlaatste aflevering van Seinfeld, 14 mei 1998. Weet u het nog? Er keken die avond 76 miljoen Amerikanen naar de tv. Het was stil op straat. Wat goed uitkwam, want zo kon de ambulance met de doodzieke zanger in een noodgang door Los Angeles scheuren. Het mocht niet baten. Nancy woonde in de buurt, maar heeft haar vaders hand bij zijn entree in Het Eeuwige Las Vegas niet kunnen vasthouden. Zij zat Seinfeld te kijken en had de telefoon eruit getrokken. Ze wilde niet gestoord worden. Seinfeld draagt de nog immer treurende Nancy als een van zijn merkwaardigste onderscheidingen.   <br>Nancy leeft nog, zij is nu 85 jaar. Lee overleed in 2007, hij werd 78 jaar. <br>Het is lente, we draaien Lee Hazlewood &amp; Nancy Sinatra.  </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Abonneren&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;nl&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Typ je e-mailadres&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Abonneren"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p></p><h3>De 3 beste duetten van Lee Hazlewood &amp; Nancy Sinatra:</h3><h4>1.

Ik ging over van ChatGPT naar Claude. Een even geruisloze als feestelijke transfer. We dronken er een wijntje op en in een vrolijk roesje besloot ik maar meteen om twintig euro per maand aan Claude te geven. All-inclusive. Het zou mij nimmer meer aan iets ontbreken. Zo beloofde Claude. Ik had ChatGPT nog nooit een euro betaald, maar de nieuwe lente hing in de lucht en ik hoorde in de verte een nieuw geluid. <br>Dat wilde ik niet missen. <br>Even kort de voorgeschiedenis: Sam Altman is de baas van OpenAI en dus van ChatGPT. En Dario Amodei is de baas van concurrent Anthropic en dus van Claude. Dario zei <em>nee </em>tegen Trump en het Pentagon, omdat hij eiste dat zijn Anthropic veilig zou worden gebruikt voor Amerikaanse burgers en soldaten. Die garantie kreeg hij niet. Byebye Trump. Sam Altman had minder reserves en zei <em>ja.</em> Ik dacht; byebye Sam.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg" width="456" height="218.63013698630138" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:350,&quot;width&quot;:730,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:456,&quot;bytes&quot;:29240,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.bestofmatthijs.com/i/189960461?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F573f5295-1eb3-40ca-9f96-8e310208be1a_730x614.heic&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3_av!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd0c20a2-8636-47d9-8453-48a8bb3735d5_730x350.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Afijn, Claude in da house.

Atget documenteerde dertig jaar lang het oude Parijs, maar stierf in 1927 in volstrekte anonimiteit. Zonder Berencie Abbott, die zijn nalatenschap redde en promootte, was zijn werk verloren gegaan.

Eug&#232;ne Atget, gered door Berenice Abbott</h4><p>Atget fotografeerde dertig jaar lang het oude Parijs. In de ochtendstond als er niemand op straat was. In 1926 ontmoette hij de Amerikaanse fotografe Berenice Abbot. Zij kocht een paar afdrukken van zijn foto&#8217;s. Kort daarna stierf Atget. Zonder veel roem. Abott kocht Atgets nalatenschap, ruim duizend glasnegatieven en achtduizend afdrukken en begon zijn werk te promoten. Zonder uitzicht op financieel gewin. Zij was decennialang Atgets stem. In 1968 droeg zij de collectie over aan het Museum of Modern Art in New York. Nu is zijn werk dus te zien in het International Center of Photography in New York. Zonder Bernice Abbott was Atget vrijwel zeker vergeten.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp" width="245" height="302.5579598145286" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:799,&quot;width&quot;:647,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:245,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Eug&#232;ne Atget - Fundaci&#243;n MAPFRE&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Eug&#232;ne Atget - Fundaci&#243;n MAPFRE" title="Eug&#232;ne Atget - Fundaci&#243;n MAPFRE" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lX0F!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2fe69334-65b6-4a33-b7cb-9949ef70205e_647x799.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Eug&#232;ne Atget</figcaption></figure></div><h4> 2. Franz Kafka, gered door Max Brod </h4><p>Kafka stierf in 1924 aan tuberculose, eenenveertig jaar. Hij had een handvol verhalen gepubliceerd. <em>Het Proces</em> bestond alleen als manuscript. In een briefje aan zijn vriend Max Brod was Kafka glashelder geweest: al zijn ongepubliceerde verhalen moesten worden verbrand. Ongelezen. Brod weigerde. Brod publiceerde <em>Het Proces </em>in 1925, <em>Het Slot</em> in 1926 en <em>Amerika</em> in 1927. Zonder Brod had de twintigste-eeuwse literatuur er anders uitgezien. Omdat &#233;&#233;n man nee zei tegen de laatste wens van zijn vriend.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg" width="292" height="355.875" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1170,&quot;width&quot;:960,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:292,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Bestand:Kafka.jpg - Wikiquote&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Bestand:Kafka.jpg - Wikiquote" title="Bestand:Kafka.jpg - Wikiquote" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DyU_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F71a34661-3d16-4b8c-92cb-b6d488ff0918_960x1170.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Franz Kafka</figcaption></figure></div><h4>3. Vincent van Gogh, gered door Jo van Gogh-Bonger</h4><p>Iedereen kent het verhaal van Theo en Vincent van Gogh. Theo was Vincents broer, steun en toeverlaat, zijn financier, zijn anker. Maar Theo overleed zes maanden na Vincent, drie&#235;ndertig jaar oud. Zo kon het gebeuren dat niet Theo, maar zijn weduwe Jo van Gogh-Bonger de beschermengel van Vincent werd. Zij bleef achter met een baby en vierhonderd schilderijen. Theo had haar twee opdrachten meegegeven: hun zoon opvoeden en zorgen dat Vincents werk gezien en gewaardeerd zou worden. Vincent is gezien, dankzij Jo. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg" width="372" height="277.5692307692308" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:194,&quot;width&quot;:260,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:372,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;De vrouw die Vincent beroemd maakte - Van Gogh Museum&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="De vrouw die Vincent beroemd maakte - Van Gogh Museum" title="De vrouw die Vincent beroemd maakte - Van Gogh Museum" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z93M!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5c87de66-76b1-430d-b1df-b6588b5bae53_260x194.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Jo Van Gogh-Bonger</figcaption></figure></div><p></p><p>Het is een mirakel.

In het leven voor <em>The Naked Chef </em>zaten wij, kookboekfanaten, onze ogen te bederven in het vuistdikke evangelie van Giuliano Bugialli, <em>The Fine Art of Italian Cooking. </em>Kleine lettertjes, geen foto&#8217;s. Het waren sowieso onzekere jaren. </p><p>Ik geef een voorbeeld. De bouillabaisse. Julia Child begon met het fruiten van uien, prei en knoflook in olijfolie, legde daarna alle vis en schaaldieren erbij en liet dit garen. Elizabeth David begon juist niet met fruiten, maar drapeerde alle uien, prei en tomaten bovenop de stevigste vis en deed het vuur pas aan als er een visbouillon over werd gegoten. En Bugialli dreef de zaak helemaal op de spits door alle vissoorten een verschillende kooktijd te geven, een enorme culinaire administratie; altijd te beginnen met de inktvis. &#8220;En alstublieft, gebruik nooit zalm of makreel, die hebben een overheersende smaak.&#8221;<br>Tot uw dienst.<br>Smakelijke borden daar niet van, maar het waren weekenden waarin we bibberend examen deden. En toen was daar <em>The Naked Chef! </em>Ons culinaire Woodstock. Free at last. Love &amp; Peace. De keuken was geen gietijzeren battleground meer, maar een groot groen grasveld waar lachend en dansend zout in pannen werd gestrooid. Puur op gevoel.

href="https://open.substack.com/pub/bestofmatthijs/p/drie-maal-schuilen-in-schoonheid?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&amp;utm_medium=web">allereerste substack</a>: <em>Schuilen in Schoonheid.</em> Ik was ge&#239;nspireerd door de New York Times die bij de jaarwisseling een gedicht van de dichter Robert Hayden afdrukte, geschreven in 1967. Volgens de krant waren de regels actueler dan ooit. De zwarte, New Yorkse dichter Hayden ontvlucht in het gedicht &#8216;Monets Waterlilies&#8217; de gruwelen van Vietnam en Amerikaans racisme door af en toe voor het schilderij &#8216;De Waterlelie&#8217;s&#8217; van de Franse schilder Monet te gaan zitten. Een schilderij dat bij hem om de hoek hangt. In het MoMa. &#8220;I come again to see the serene great picture that I love.&#8221; Robert Hayden schuilde die middag in schoonheid.</p><p>Ik heb me voorgenomen zo af en toe vrienden en bekenden te vragen om <em>hun </em>schuilplaatsen met ons te delen. In tijden van grote en kleine sores. Vandaag is dat Paul de Leeuw. Zanger, theatermaker, podcaster en een van onze beste televisie-makers. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rWbY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg" width="704" height="267.3" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5749186a-a53a-474a-bca2-20a6f4a0631a_1280x486.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:486,&quot;width&quot;:1280,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:704,&quot;bytes&quot;:70235,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Paul de Leeuw -

Let op mijn woorden, Splinter Chabot gaat er met de buit vandoor. Dat voelen mijn fingerspitzen. <em>Twee prinsen </em>heet zijn nieuwe roman. Ik lees dat het een ode is aan &#8216;die jongeren die dapper zichzelf zijn, in een wereld die zo vaak duister en donker is.&#8217; Laat dat maar aan Splinter over. Boy wonder. <br>Tot zover de hitparade. <br>Ik wil iets anders vertellen. Ergens in het staartje van een Boekenweek-folder trof ik een daverende verrassing: &#8216;Haruki Murakami: <em>Jazzportretten.&#8217; </em>Eindelijk vertaald in het Nederlands. Met tekeningen van Makoto Wada. <br>Ben ik je al kwijt? Laat me nog heel even: de Japanse schrijver Murakami ken je denk ik wel. Hij wint binnen vijf jaar de Nobelprijs voor de Literatuur, (wiederum fingerspitzen). Murakami was, ver voor zijn wereldfaam, eigenaar van een jazz-barretje in Tokyo. <em>Peter Cat </em>heette het. Iets groter dan de gemiddelde slaapkamer. Vier krukjes, een wand vol vinyl en een platenspeler. En dertien merken whiskey. Meer scheen het niet te zijn. Tokyo had er zeker honderd van. Een magneet voor mijn fantasie. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg" width="320" height="320" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1200,&quot;width&quot;:1200,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:320,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Elvis leeft nog, zo bleek uit de, soms jaloersmakende ...&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Elvis leeft nog, zo bleek uit de, soms jaloersmakende ..." title="Elvis leeft nog, zo bleek uit de, soms jaloersmakende ..." srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4ScO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e06ffd8-ec52-43a2-9033-9fb7b9e7aab3_1200x1200.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Samen met Art en Andrew, 2016</figcaption></figure></div><p>Ik zei dan ook direct ja!

Art Farmer blies.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg" width="406" height="304.5" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:480,&quot;width&quot;:640,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:406,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;SAMURAI - Shinjuku/Pizza | Tabelog&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="SAMURAI - Shinjuku/Pizza | Tabelog" title="SAMURAI - Shinjuku/Pizza | Tabelog" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Vv16!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04cc26b2-cb4e-4b4b-b996-cf8c8046f4b8_640x480.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Mister Samurai (links)</figcaption></figure></div><h4>2.

Toen ik de man achter de bar vroeg of hij het album <em>Ah Um</em> van Charles Mingus kende, hebben we een minuut of tien alleen maar het woord &#8216;ahum&#8217; uitgewisseld, met vraag- en uitroeptekens.

openings-beelden zie ik al voor mij: Jan loopt in zijn wapperende regenjas over het drukke Spui in Amsterdam. Niemand kijkt op of om. En dan zeg ik zoiets als: </p><p>&#8220;Dit is Jan Lenferink.<br>Hij maakte ooit een van de meest spraakmakende talkshows van ons land. RUR. Hij droeg daarbij altijd een streepjesoverhemd, strooide plagerig met Franse woordjes, dronk melk en was in mijn herinnering mateloos brutaal. Ik vond hem geweldig.<br>RUR was een afkorting voor Rechtstreeks uit Richter. En Richter was in tijd die een veel te drukke discotheek in de Reguliers-dwarsstraat in Amsterdam. Mooie Miss Brood stond er achter de bar. Herman er vaak voor.<br>Ik kwam er vaak. Woonde om de hoek. Studeerde Nederlands. Ook om de hoek.<br>Begin jaren tachtig.<br>Lang geleden allemaal. <br>Jan is nu 77 jaar.<br>Lang niks van gehoord. Ik vroeg me zelfs even af of hij nog wel leefde.<br>Maar dat doet hij gelukkig nog.<br>Ik heb hem gevraagd of ik een portret van hem mag maken. Over een leven in de langgerekte schaduw van een ooit legendarisch praatprogramma.&#8221;</p><p>Als herinnering aan een volkomen uniek oeuvre hieronder de drie beste afleveringen van RUR, althans van de uitzendingen die ik kon terugvinden. Scroll en kuier er maar een beetje doorheen. Sweet memories. </p><h3>Driemaal Jan Lenferink &amp; RUR (1983-1992)</h3><h4>1.
