Overview

  • Levinton shared the anecdotes during an appearance on eltrece’s Otro día perdido with host Mario Pergolini.
  • He said he recently stepped into an open-casket service for someone he did not know, quipping, “Vi gente, era gratis y pasé.”
  • He described frequent visits to the Cementerio de la Chacarita and trips to the graves of musicians such as Jim Morrison and Édith Piaf.
  • Asked about end-of-life wishes, he replied that he wants “mi tumbita” and said a life is reflected by how many people attend your funeral.
  • He revisited older self-reported tales of police run-ins, including a Chaco detention and a claimed written “immunity,” as well as a 120 km drive on the highway shoulder that cost him his license before he later retrieved it in Dolores.
