David Grohl...

Micheal Jackson: deep songs = Emilio Fede: impartial journalism: I don't know about you, but to be aware that half of the world is at war, of world hunger, diseases, pollution, and that those who suffer the most are children, I don't need a beautifully crafted video with a catchy little tune in the background... deep songs are something else, and the artists capable of conceiving them are quite different from Michael Jackson. Oh, and you still haven't answered me about the cultural decline in pop due to Jackson; you're still talking about the saintly works of Jacko...

@ Pannzzoone: there's still a long way to go, my personal record is 385 comments and it's not even the absolute one!

That I am an adherent of prejudice is an enormous nonsense, even for Maurizio Mosca, and those who know me are well aware of it. However, returning to Jackson, I honestly couldn't care less about his private life; I'm not a bored old spinster who enjoys prying into the lives of the VIPs. I just cited some examples (the most glaring ones) to counter those who hailed him as a god on earth. For the rest, my aversion is primarily towards what Michael Jackson has represented on a musical and cultural level. I assert again and will continue to repeat it obsessively that if his father hadn't forced him to become a singer with a beat of belts, pop today would be seen as something different, something deeper, and not just sequins, fashion, dazzling lights, and appearances. While I agree that Jackson isn't the worst of the worst, he has undeniably been "the root of all evil," the trigger that set off the whole diabolical mechanism.

dear my Giusymj: unlike you, I am not a follower of anyone, I am a lone wolf, I have my thoughts, my ideas, which right or wrong are solely and exclusively the product of my mind; it would have never crossed my mind to compare WackoJacko to Leonardo Da Vinci if you hadn’t misused the word "ARTISTA".

Dear Rosellina, but did Michael Jackson also talk to the little birds? And did he invite baby polar bears to dinner? And he knew how to help those poor raccoons suffering from constipation, right? :-)

Dear Giusymj, so it’s your problem that you expressed yourself poorly: if you tell me that Michael Jackson WAS THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME, what am I supposed to think? Art is something much broader than music, and anyway, stating that Jacko was the greatest musician of all time is still a blasphemy deserving of an Inquisition court. Damn, I promised to withdraw from this harsh and uneven contest, but it’s stronger than me... :-(

Yes, up to a certain point... for example, Ancelotti with Moggi's Juve didn't win anything at all.

Anyway, in my opinion, rather than just talking about good or less good coaches, there are coaches in the right place and coaches in the wrong place. Take Mircea Lucescu, for example, who never achieved anything in Italy, yet has an impressive list of "tituli": multiple champion of Ukraine and UEFA Cup winner with Shakhtar Donetsk, champion of Romania with Dinamo Bucharest and Rapid Bucharest, champion of Turkey with Beşiktaş and Galatasaray, with whom he also won a European Super Cup and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Or consider Carlos Bianchi, who made people laugh at Roma but boasts two Intercontinental Cups in his trophy cabinet (one with Vélez Sarsfield and the other with Boca Juniors) won against none other than the most decorated team in the world. And also Marcello Lippi, highly decorated with Moggi’s Juventus, who literally made the fans vomit at Inter...

@ Pannzzoone: nothing, we are far from the record, especially now that the fungirlz have retired: as far as I'm concerned, I officially throw in the towel: no matter how stubborn, headstrong, and convinced I am about my ideas, which I proudly stand by, I don't want to continue making a fool of myself.
