ah I almost forgot ... have a good weekend :)

So, before this comment sparks a fight (presumable as well as pointless), I would like to remind you that Daniele Luttazzi has been subjected to a form of censorship that is poorly aligned with democracy, which is a living spirit that has always something to offer to everyone from the right to the left, and he is an intelligent, capable person, but above all, free. Everything else doesn’t matter, especially the gratuitous and provocative malice.

Nice comment, perez :)

Well, I'm sorry, but instead of handing out licenses of naivety, why don't you explain what it means to be objective? I also extended this invitation to elaborate, if you feel like it. The forum space is suitable for that purpose if you want, bye.

In fact, the warlords

Just last night I happened to hear "blowin in the wind" on TV and I realized that the song captured my attention in an instant. There are countless memories tied to this and other Dylan songs. I also really loved Joan Baez's version from the album "Live in Italy." I believe there are very few songs that can boast such strength and impact. What surprises me the most is that it’s a simple song, without convolutions, without too much nonsense. It hits directly with the music and the lyrics, plain and simple. Damn, that’s no small feat! This album also contains "Masters of War," one of my favorite songs; in my opinion, it is one of the strongest, most significant, and angriest protest songs that exists, one that can still be sung today. It’s not just the manifesto of a generation. I’m not sure what Dylan’s true intentions were when he wrote these songs, but it seems that he doesn’t identify with the figure of the protest singer that these very songs have given him. I'm not really convinced that songs like these are taken for granted today, nor do I think it’s useless to talk about them still. I don’t believe everyone knows him; they may have an idea, perhaps a vague one. Even though millions of words have been spent on him over the decades, yet another thousand, or hundred thousand can still be said... If it makes sense to talk about Shakespeare today, why shouldn’t it make sense to talk about Dylan? Both speak of man. These are songs that withstand the test of decades and maintain their unchanged strength. I believe they will continue to do so for a long time, and I would add a unfortunately, given that in relation to the content of some, the context hasn’t changed. The Masters of War continue to be present today just as they were yesterday.

Caz, I wouldn’t want to say, but this non-review is more like a prima donna than a seven-star :) or am I wrong? We’ve said a thousand times that a review can be a starting point to discuss the album, that it's not essential to lay out the life, death, and miracles of the album and the artist, that the review is a beginning, often an invitation. But in this case, it doesn’t seem to me that the review even has the power to invite others to start a discussion. At least, so far, no one has done it. I’m trying to do it, but honestly, I’m reluctant, because to tell the truth, such a playful approach to this album gives me a "helical" attack where you can imagine it. But does no one really have a couple of words to say about this album??? What does it mean to you?? What does it represent?? If not the album, at least the cover, which is among the most famous in music. Certainly, the album has its meaning, which perhaps transcends the artist's own intentions, it’s a part of history.

Dude, send me some of this stuff.

yes true

It's time to renew cultural exchanges, josi :)
