"Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die"

Certo, invia pure il testo e procederò con la traduzione.

At the time, I had missed them, partly because they certainly never enjoyed much visibility and because Taylor died not long after this album (at least I think so). The first time I heard about them was when my friend Trent mentioned in an interview "With Teeth," saying that they had been a great inspiration for that album (right now, it doesn’t sound like a compliment, I know). I searched for them and listened, but honestly, I got bored pretty quickly: original for sure, but they left me with an aftertaste of "sloppy" (I might be wrong...). Anyway, the phrase "sounds original today, just imagine in 1996" says it all and, from my perspective, also explains why this approach will never appeal to me. What can we deduce from all this? That even our "heroes" have tastes that we can't always share :-D (as if we didn't already know... ;-D)

Poletti, where are you?

Anyway, I am for Esperantism. I want this back Isola delle Rose (micronazione) - Wikipedia

It's one of those movies I've loved but have only seen once (I even bought the DVD, but I've never felt like watching it again, perhaps because of the anxious atmosphere and not because of its intrinsic value). BBT is one of my "cult" actors. A concise review that says (almost) everything. Well done.

"I believe in real things and in others that are not, and I believe in yet more things that no one knows whether they are real or not. I believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and in Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles, in Elvis and Mister Ed. Look... I believe that men are perfectible beings, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is in the hands of a secret banking cartel, and that aliens visit us regularly, good aliens who are all wrinkled and resemble lemurs and bad aliens who mutilate livestock and want to steal our water and women. I believe that the future is worrying and that one day the Buffalo-Woman-White will come back to kick us all in the butt. I believe that men are just oversized children with serious communication problems and that the decline of sex in America coincides with the closing of drive-ins. I believe that politicians are dishonest people without principles and I believe they are still preferable to the alternative. I believe that when the great earthquake comes, California will sink into the ocean, while Florida will dissolve, swallowed by the crowd, by alligators, and by toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our ability to resist dirt and disease and that one day we will all be annihilated by a common cold just like the Martians in "The War of the Worlds." I believe that the greatest poets of the last century are Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis and that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago, in a previous life, I was a one-legged Siberian shaman. I believe that the fate of humanity is written in the stars. I believe that candy really tasted better when I was little, that from an aerodynamic standpoint, it is impossible for bumblebees to fly, that light is both a wave and a particle, and that somewhere there is a kitten trapped inside a box, alive and dead at the same time (but if they don't hurry to open the box and feed it, it will end up dead for good) and that in the universe there are stars billions of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a god of my own who cares for me and protects all my actions. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and then went off to have fun and doesn't even know I exist. I believe in a godless universe driven by chaos, background noise, and a good deal of luck. I believe that everyone who says that sex is an overrated activity has never done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know how the world works can lie about the little things as well. I believe in absolute honesty and the necessity of reasonable social lies. I believe in women's right to choose, in a child's right to live, that if every human life is sacred, there is nothing wrong with the death penalty, as long as you can trust the legal system, and only a fool would trust it. I believe that life is a game, a cruel joke, and that it is that thing that happens to you while you're alive, so you might as well enjoy it." (Neil Gaiman from "American Gods" 2001)

Good record. 1 vote more for "We are the people"

I haven't read the review (which will be, due to the reviewer, accurate in writing and arguments) nor the book (I've never read any book by Travaglio). I just want to say that I've always had a lot of respect (even though I don't belong to the same "current") for Montanelli but very little for his "students" (not always is a great man also a great teacher). That said, I am among those (few, I imagine) who have always viewed Travaglio as a moralizer (and I find nothing wrong with that) but also as careless and one-sided, and I've always been wary of Robin Hoods (of any kind: from "Striscia" to Gabanelli, Santoro, etc., passing through "Le Iene." I know it wouldn't be correct to lump them together, but I’ll allow myself this "poetic" license) for various reasons that I don’t wish to delve into. It’s obvious that seeing now such distrust (late) towards him makes me reflect more and more on the "sheep-like" tendencies of the Italian people. Perhaps it's true that this is a people that needs the "jester" (now Grillo, once Mussolini, in between our Silvietto) to unleash their repressed animal desires... It’s clear I’m not saying anything new, but I don’t know why, seeing this review, I felt the urge to express "simple and trivial things" (which, from my point of view, are never remembered enough). I’ll take my leave.
