Jack Casady
The one with the best look among all the Jefferson Airplane, as well as one of the most underrated bassists ever, probably. Great in tandem with Kaukonen in Hot Tuna, a spine-tingling bass/guitar combination (the two of them were doing amazing stuff with Tuna while the other mates were losing their inspiration with Starship). more
Marty Balin
I just say: "Comin' Back to me," one of the greatest masterpieces by J.A., is all his work. After "Surrealistic Pillow," he stepped back a bit in terms of composition, but he remained essential. His absence in albums like "Bark" and "Long John Silver" is definitely noticeable. Then he also kind of drifted off with the Starship, but who cares. Truly amazing. more

They hit, they hit, they hit, but deep down they're softies. more
Il Cile
When I think of Chile, this comes to mind Gracias a la Vida not the latest shabby byproduct of Italians' music.

Jefferson has always been the one I liked the least (maybe it's envy since he fathered children with Grace Slick), but he did give us "Blows Against the Empire," no small feat, and he wrote (sure, in a trio with David Crosby and Stills, but it's -almost- the same) a masterpiece like "Wooden Ships." So let’s give him that 5, alright. (Of course, I pretend that the Starship, especially the '80s ones and the current ones, don’t exist.) more

great album......... more
Deftones -Around The Fur
In its genre, a really cool album. High-quality Post HC/Crossover with melodies expertly blended in a New Wave memory. Nothing to do with crap like Limp Bizkit, Korn, and the likes. more
Devil Sold His Soul
I wonder how I managed to get this far without them. more

I had a classmate from Calabria who came from the divine elementary school of Ho-Cutro. more
Ingrid Bergman
One of the greatest actresses of all time, of course. Beautiful and extraordinarily talented. (Immense, at 63, in "Autumn Sonata" by the other Bergman - Ingmar, of course - one of her most beautiful performances). Immense also with Hitchcock, immense during her Italian period with Rossellini, immense in "Casablanca" and in a ton of other things. Extraordinary actress, stunning Swedish beauty. more
