So... I would like to clarify that both Paolo and Contemplazione, excluding the possibility that they might be the same person but at this point it doesn't matter, are what I have defined as cornerstone figures, but I meant Conte and Paolo, though not only them.
Furthermore, besides the cornerstone figures, there are also the foundations.
So I confirm my respect for Paolo and Conte, the former for his "simple" and familiar writing style, and I also add that from my first comment on one of his reviews, I remarked that his way of writing had a suspicion of Zen (in the good sense of the term).
If his writings are able to "accumulate" more comments, I don’t see that as a negative thing. His proposals are anyway valid and excellently presented; who can truly decide if a music or film product is valid or not?
We obviously can, but not only us, as we all have different tastes and there's nothing that can be done about that.
As for Conte, I genuinely appreciate his passion for Jazz (with a capital J, Conte), and I often notice in his reviews an almost "devilish" vibe for this musical genre.
….Drin!...Drin! Sorry, they are calling me from the control room....okay!
Here I’m being told (and I agree) that the term "buonismo" is frankly exaggerated.
Everyone here, some more (like Supersoul + others) and some less, are trying to expand this structure (made up of foundations, many cornerstone figures, floors, ceilings, and more; only the roof, I believe, will never be finished... perhaps fortunately).
Therefore, sympathy and respect, whether someone has written 100 reviews and made 2000 comments, or if someone has just arrived, apply to everyone (of course, hats off to those who have been here for a long time).
I also add, perhaps it’s my hope, that those with more "experience" not only in music should also have more "wisdom"; anyway, I echo Jake (another cornerstone figure).
All of this is of course just my opinion.
I greet all music enthusiasts with a periodic pat on the shoulder.
With affection, Dr. Adder.
