The sublime 'scandal' of Raphael and Morat

that if she had learned anything in life it was "not to waste time trying to change the way others are".

It must be applied to

is melancholy at its best.

This time it was not going to be different.

The King's speech gives the starting signal so that, at the moment the coat of arms of Spain appears against that blue background accompanied by the anthem, uncles, nephews, brothers-in-law, parents, children and grandparents rise like a spring to take a place in table.

It is time to enjoy

dinner .

And while you're having dinner, obviously, who accompanies in the background like a tune, the

workers and presenters on the historic

This year was not going to be different, like no other year that has been issued.

But that melancholy to keep the classics is both a tradition and a reflection of evolution.

Television changes little, but we do change.

Can you imagine that a decade ago a chest came out on a wagon chased by all the workers of the public entity?

No kidding.

Well now yes and it's wonderful that neither the brother-in-law, nor the brother, nor the uncle say anything.

That is what

Which is the usual, of course;

that it seems that we will never change, of course;

that televisions on these dates do not complicate life either, too.

But it is that it is not a question of changing what they throw, it is a question of what they throw at us is what is now.

Thus,

Anne Igartiburu was left without "chest out"

You are not going to think that either of the two took a chest out.

That would have already been the end.

But of the few who were out of the corner of their eyes watching television while the food was served and eaten, surely there was more than one who when he heard the "... sticking out a chest in pure Delacroix style",

and they had fulfilled the complete show.

No, chest out nothing.

But in order not to appear outdated, nor retrograde, nor champions of censorship, it was decided to put a large papier-mâché chest in the tray of a car, while dozens of employees followed the car as if it were the carriage of the Magi, and the two actresses accompanied the chest which pages of the holy tit.

But no, Anne Igartiburu will neither be at the Chimes nor did she sing

There must have been a change of plans and they thought that why bother the queen of hearts more.

Better to leave him

and the headless bear from the Cadiz parade, and thus we avoid another batch of headlines, right?

Because who really watches

from minute one to 53, which is how long it lasted: nobody.

To see it for real, not to have the TV as one more diner who does not stop talking, but few listen to him.

Well yes, the truth is that it doesn't matter, if every year since almost historical times is the same.

But not.

Although on these occasions television is a mere companion without any leading role, like your cousin's girlfriend who you know will not be there next year, it is that melancholy that makes television, especially
