Look, Toto' Cuffaro said something like that on a Maurizio Costanzo show... try to look it up on YouTube, but I can't remember the name... I only remember that when I saw it, I was disappointed thinking that for certain people, limits don't exist.

I quote myself. Comment number 7 << and let's leave the publisher alone. The viewer and the reader are two very distant things. The viewer... who knows? Who are they, what do they want, what do they know? >> Of course, it's strange to see Saviano, a hero in my opinion, talk about the Camorra on the networks of someone who considers a mafioso a hero... or is it all acceptable and normal?

Hey Gonzo, we often ask ourselves, me and you-know-who, how you and the little wife are doing. Send us some news, especially any updates ;) Right, Melisso? It's a shame that it aired on Canale5 at 11:30 PM, almost late-night... the usual things: I let you speak, but only when I say so, with whom I say, and how I say it. Nice, right? It was better when I went on Santoro's show, but even better when television goes to him... like in this case.

No... I didn't like it either. Let's say I liked the first hour when Saviano held it all together... then Fazio, who I didn't know was such a brown-noser (I stopped at Quelli che il calcio, then those two)... honestly, I don't know them... but what advice can you give to someone living under protection... keep a diary... come on :) It would have been better to continue focusing on Saviano, on the footage about him, on the things that have happened to him, on the reactions that Gomorra provokes in Naples... for the record, he's not just condemned by those from Casal di Principe or by pseudo-people, but by many... an incredible and disgusting condemnation. Anyway, the whole program was a good thing. Sure, it could have been better in form... but better than nothing or X Factor or some similar thing.

Better on Raitre than on some other channel... every time I turn on a television, the best thing I catch is on channel 3. Now, I don't know how the programs are divided, based on what reasons and parameters, but I believe little in coincidences. And above all, it's better to have a few, but good ones... seeing it on a Mediaset prime time program, besides being impossible, would have felt out of place as well. The important thing is the setting. Not everything is an honor. You can even invite the Melvins to San Remo, but what would be the point? Well, Saviano in a Mediaset prime time would feel like the Melvins at San Remo... and let's not even talk about the publisher. The viewer and the reader are two very distant things. The viewer... who knows. Who are they, what do they want, what do they know?

Compassion for Nietzsche? What the hell are you talking about?! It’s actually him who feels compassion for you, if he ever regarded you at all. Nietzsche doesn’t place himself above... he is above: it’s a fact. Compassion is the worst flaw a person can have. Compassion, combined with tolerance, does not create men, but monsters, racists, do-gooders, and moralizers... and it seems to me that the current world, all made-up and polite, which sweeps all the crap under the rug, is proof of that. Listen to me: the next time you have nothing to do, don’t bother Nietzsche. Instead, go have a wank.

Cruz, Boghossian, Pecchia... oh my God Carlo, what have you come up with... my favorite was Beto... I had Beto's jersey... even his autograph.

Preteen Weaponry is perhaps the only album from 2008 worthy of making you lose a bit of hearing... you decide. ;)

"He only wants answers and solutions to problems." And this is why the left in Italy will never govern and will never manage to produce anything. This is why in the two years of Prodi's government, the only parties that managed to increase their support were the League and Di Pietro; not that they actually achieve much, but at least they give the impression of doing so. The discussion, in my opinion, is drifting from the initial position. We have understood that natural law is dead under ethical and moral relativism, but at least we follow secular law, the one that Hobbes defined as the only law that inhabits the earth, or do we prefer to live in this form of latent democracy where only the rules that suit the current powerful are respected? To me, the answer seems obvious, and it doesn’t strike me as a right or left-wing response... it seems to me to be a response of common sense.

Anyway, this 2009 isn't bad... some beautiful albums are coming out, in my opinion. Dan Auerbach's solo project reviewed by Tollani, for example, I like a lot (which could also appeal to Psycho). I really like the latest from Bonnie Prince Billy, very delicate, a bit mind-bending... the latest from Zu, who have stopped getting lost in mental tangents and have started making "music"... better than 2008, although that wasn’t a high bar to clear.
