Someone who gives this film 4 stars not only understands little about cinema but also about life. I'm sorry.

Thanks for the tip, man. It did seem strange to me...

For me, "Down by River" is his best ride, the guitar parts are among the most piercing and moving in the entire history of rock. The pairing with "Cowgirl..." forces me to give it a 5. The review doesn't really convince me: these two masterpieces can't be dismissed in two lines. P.S.: how strange that this album didn't even have a review!

@Rece: Your speech makes perfect sense (except for Bglioni, damn, no, he has a three-chord writing style, just like Venditti, it's just that he has better arrangers who make you think his music is more complex than it is), whereas I only like four idiots who grab the guitar, make a racket, and scream "Baby I Love Ya!!!". An irreconcilable disagreement. Nevertheless, I thank you for not immediately resorting to insults, as is the trend.

I don't usually listen to Baglioni. And if one of his songs comes on the radio, I immediately switch channels. From your musical tastes, though, I understand that you might also like Baglioni. And that says a lot about the value of some of the groups you've mentioned. It's a shame Arnold is on vacation. Let's hope he hasn't died.

For me, spring next year is just fine; this fall I wanted to go to New York. The apartment solution works great as well. Count on me!

I'm in. Just set a date a couple of months in advance, and I'll arrange things with work!

Very good review, although the album doesn't seem like a five-star to me.

Oh sorry, but can't I come too, even if we don't agree on the movie? With Alessio by now, after a few initial misunderstandings, we get along, maybe we'll find something in common with you Flinstone as well.

I'm sorry to upset some friends, but the Boss has always annoyed me. For multiple reasons, which I'll summarize to avoid boring you. First of all, he isn't capable of writing good songs. There's an old adage that says if a song is good, strip it of the arrangement, play it acoustically, and the piece holds. This works with "Hiroshima mon amour" and "Nightporter." Or that NIN song reinterpreted by Cash. With Springsteen, no. In fact, when he does the acoustic album, aside from a couple of tracks, like "Atlantic City," it soon gets tedious. If we compare him to some great acoustic voice/guitar albums, I think of early Dylan, "Pink Moon," Fred Neil, but even early De Gregori, he pales in comparison. I'm pretty much in agreement with Alessio too; after all, he's a bit of a little fascist. In the sense that he embodies the motto "Right or wrong, it's my country," and I really don't like that. Not at all. Finally, a personal memory: I remember being at an Elvis Costello concert and someone had an advance copy of this album and blasted "Born in the USA" at full volume. Fortunately, Elvis came on soon; otherwise, I might have pulled out a bazooka. By the way, how many hundreds of songs has Costello written that are better than Springsteen? And this album: it has a plastic sound!
