Barca president Joan Laporta talked with Catalan radio station iCatfm, where he commented on the club's transfer events as well as his taste in music...He talked alot... about Villa, Ribery, Keirrison, Eto'o, Mascherano, Luis Filipe, Valdes, and Bojan... basically, informing us that Pep and Txiki are handling everything and he's got nothing to do with it. He really just hinted at various transfers, not really confirming anything, except for assuring us that Bojan won't leave on loan, and, irrelevently, that Messi and Mascherano are friends.
Then, the talk turned to music. Laporta explained what music means to him: "Music helps you to overcome situations and form you as a person... to tame the beasts," he said.
On what he likes, Laporta first named Bruce Springsteen, "because he forces me to think that you should not ever give up." He's also a fan of Joan Manuel Serrat and his famous song 'Kubala', and went on to list the rest of his favorite singers, including Elvis Presley, James Morrison, Harry Nilsson, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson, also contributing a few emotional words to the latter, in light of his recent death.
Laporta went on to relate the story of something that happened with him when he was "twenty-one or twenty-two" and on holiday to Egypt, telling about about how he lost his money in the black market and ended up selling a much sought-after Madonna album he had with him, so he could have the money to get out of there!
Sidenote: Laporta turns 47 tomorrow, best of birthday wishes from us to him! (but seriously, have you ever seen a more youthful-looking 47-year-old? He honestly looks 30!)
