Unfortunately, for the past 3 years I have had to give up tennis. My back still torments me. As a former ranked player - alas - I can only say that this tennis does not appeal to me. Nadal is and will be a phenomenon, as long as his body can support him. He doesn’t possess “true” talent, but he compensates with phenomenal athletic and mental preparation. The real talented player is undoubtedly Roger. He won against Nadal in Madrid, on clay. Now, psychologically, he has freed himself from the fear of Rafa. Roger has understood that he must seek serve-and-volley much more, even on clay. However, if you pay close attention, Federer doesn’t have a phenomenal volley game. He doesn’t have Edberg’s touch or Rafter’s craziness. Often, he fails to finish points at the net that various Becker, McEnroe, Edberg, or Rafter would easily win. The Roland Garros will be a decisive test. I have little to say about Djokovic: boring!! Personally, besides being an attacking player, I also loved doubles. Our coach insisted on short exchanges and… sprinting to the net. Therefore, I find these baseline phenomena a bit unpalatable.

5 because I saw them in Padua right at their debut. Shitty acoustics, but.........Phantom of the Opera still gives me chills!!!

Oh my goodness!!! What memories!! I’ll start by saying that I don’t own this record. But a dear friend of mine, a die-hard fan of Frank Zappa, adored this amazing artist. Many years have passed and, though it's a struggle, I still remember those vibes. Great album.

The book, alas, I have read. The Da Vinci Code was a respectable book written by borrowing here and there the heretical ideas of other writers (see The Holy Grail). The film was disappointing, very disappointing. This A&D is a novel straddling the horrendous and the stupid. I will definitely watch the film when it airs on SKY. Ron Howard is aging poorly and Tom Hanks is as expressionless as Nicolas Cage. Probably no one will care. But just last Wednesday, I was in London and entered the Masonic temple in London, home to the most important lodge in Britain. Forget about the Da Vinci Code!!!!!

Here, the sinful life is being lived by that embarrassing king of blues (as he loves to call himself) Italian. Insufferable.

I’m not exactly the biggest fan of Metallica. However, I recognize the depth of this album which is definitely one to have in its genre. I don’t mind reading comments from other users about works that have already been reviewed many times. I find it interesting to read the opinions of more people. Bye

Beautiful review. Congratulations. I’ll listen to it as soon as I can.

Bah! Disco - and artists - that personally left me with nothing at all. Perhaps I was, and still am, too snobbish for this music.

Bless you for still having the physique to go to concerts. I've turned into a mozzarella, so... Anyway, your presentation is great, and your heartfelt love for this band really shows. Personally, I'm still attached to the first three albums with Foxx and, to some extent, to Vienna. After that, they wore me out. I've never had the pleasure of seeing them live—only a few videos. Let's hope they don't get it into their heads to make another album…

Unbelievable. I just finished it today, on the train. I had been promising myself to read it for years. What can I say: beautiful in its endless sadness. That moor and those tormented characters seem to be right there in front of you, you can almost see and hear them.
