Here, like all the Blessed Sixteenths, you will be able to perform miracles on earth but will never understand me. First of all, you should be happy that I answered you, which is absolutely unprecedented according to the annals. Then, since you don’t understand me, I will respond with your own words, and we’ll see if you can figure it out on your own: "If Picasso had his blue period then all other artists are allowed anything": NO. For two reasons, first of all, and for several others, secondly. But the first is so evident that it seems obvious: Picasso was Picasso, and HE could afford it. The second is equally obvious, provided that the barbarization hasn’t reached a level that negates any reasonable difference and that the abused term "artist" can refer both to one of the most important painters in the history of art and to a young lady who sings nursery rhymes (pleasant at times, too) just to offer an opening like this”. Aside from the fact that Picasso is, for me, one of many second-tier figures, aside from the fact that a painting is not necessarily more noble than a three-and-a-half-minute song, I want to point out to you that even Picasso started with crappy paintings, with art that wasn’t of great level. That’s it. Do you understand?

Kostabi... I like that :)

As for Picasso... I (and not just me) believe that Pablo Picasso was a tremendous bluff.

I thank you, Messer Sfascia, for the enlightening suggestion. The times are not difficult solely for you, however. Let it be clear that death is something absolutely democratic, striking all families, even mine. But I do not want and cannot seek joy in the common misery: I had a clue and on this clue, I had hypothesized a lead. As for the work of the most generous Kosmogabry, what can I say? I thank you for the work done and the willingness shown. As for black and white... Well, the colors you have chosen already say it all. One last thing to the pontiff who dared say that only Picasso is Picasso... You and I are perfectly capable of coming up with at least fifteen names of artists who should, for the specific weight of their artistic production, be placed above Piucasso, who is Picasso. And every single time there is an artist still alive, neither you, God on Earth, nor I, the horned one in heaven, can know how far and what path they will take. Certainly, one who makes songs... Perhaps you have your share of reason, but I still do not feel like closing the doors of superior art in their face just because the one at the threshold is a songwriter. Some time ago, Your Holiness complained that I hardly ever respond to your angelus. I hope I have done something appreciated.

I see with great dismay that my text has been edited in such a way as to have bold text, bold text that I did not insert... It’s nothing major, it’s just that I had previously asked all the Editors not to put bold text in my reviews. And they, with great sensitivity, followed my request. Now, the fact that they have returned to the old editing system indicates that there is some new Editor who knows nothing of my past request. And so be it. What remains is the disappointment of not being enlisted among the new Editors. At the very least, they could have mentioned who they had chosen: that way, they would have spared half the debaserian population from getting their hopes up (I wasn't the only one who would have appreciated this).

Thank you, Editors. Thank you.

Holy crap, I've been teetotal since the days of the Connells review; otherwise, I'd gladly share a drink with you. And together we would have laughed at Masci, whom I just can't even picture that way. Drummers becoming frontmen, sure, but frontmen becoming drummers, no way!!!

I already have the VVV from them, that is the one with Alan Vega (I am a devotee of Vega and Martin Rev, as you will notice from my reviews), and I can tell you that, for its rawness, it’s already more than enough for me, and therefore I won’t delve into the others from Panasonic/Pan Sonic. Damn, you’re moving at an impressive speed, writing a ton of reviews (I used to get a lot of criticism thrown at me, and even today someone occasionally contests my excessive productivity). As a fellow prolific writer, I can only compliment you. The bold text? I simply "lovingly begged" the very generous Editors. No, actually, there was a bit of controversy, but just a tiny bit, back in the day, and the Editors accommodated me. Now, looking back, I think there was no need for controversy and I’m grateful to the Editors.

I too share the same opinion. Thanks to you, I now have absolute certainty that the Nazis are faggots. Before, not being in that environment, I could only rely on the film American Beauty and Demian by Herman Hesse, but now I know for sure and I am grateful to you.

I've always felt pure rock n roll and country in their music. How strange, two seconds ago I posted Untitled by the Byrds where there's a great cover of Truck Stop Girl.
