Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the best geopolitician of them all? Dario's solipsism is fascinating. However, in my private life, I trust good old Ptolemy more Divisione della terra di epoca tolemaica, di Mario Costantino - Astrologia Classica

Why do people love Bob Dylan so much? He shouldn't sing, the instrumental parts are really basic, and the lyrics that are supposed to change your soul are just random biblical references, or vague, pretentious, mostly senseless lines, so someone with a debased IQ will think, 'I didn't get much of that, there must be something deeper.' Go read Tarantula and see firsthand the bullshit he rambles about. It's incredible how in Europe, the homeland of Shakespeare, Dante, Petrarcha, they give the Nobel to this ragman who sells poems made out of scraps of old newspapers. ANDY WHAROL

She’s unbearable, impossible to listen to ever since the days she used to rip off Tracy Chapman’s deep voice. When I see her with that guitar and her radical chic feminist rants, I instantly break out in hives. But then, the other night, when I saw Minnie Minoprio singing beautifully at 83 and thought about how gorgeous and talented she was, I look at these idiots fawning over the conzoli,
and I ask myself: what the hell happened up there? dico:

A very sad and somewhat contrived review, an album that has evaporated into the mists of 70s Maria Carta and Canzonissima folk. Eh sì, Anderson may be as talented as you like, but can he really compare to a Fossati with Delirium in a baby-doll?

Great review, thorough and penetrating in its analysis of the strange and at times miraculous career of the fab tramp. You put it well, o re-censor: it wasn’t easy to stand out in the galaxy of prog bands of the seventies. Maybe a strange and unrepeatable astral conjunction with the falsetto of the BeeGees and of Flavio Paulin from Cugini di Campagna :-) who were reigning supreme at the time, suddenly tore them away from dated prog rock, catapulting them—willingly or not—onto the profitable long wave of late seventies pop disco. Supertramp are one of those epoch-making bands: clear, musically accomplished, never banal and almost redundant, one of those... who, with nothing but composure, a certain innate confidence, and an easy, noble nonchalance, stand a head above many others. Destined for planetary success and ended up, despite themselves, in the sonic Olympus of their era. The pathos and lyricism of many of their songs would have greatly pleased Pascoli and his arcadian "fanciullino," which is basically Hodgson’s falsetto. Adorable, successful ragamuffins... re-censore:
