Musically, I adore her (both with the Eurythmics and as a solo artist). Seeing her in concert remains one of the best experiences I've had.

How beautiful, how skilled. Keep talking about work and other nice things that are interesting but remain outside the topic that should be addressed here: the ultras. I confirm my thesis: you don't even know what a stadium is, and you don't even know what an ultra looks like, both in the face and in the mind. Your business, best regards.

Speaking well of these two is never rhetorical; some people should always be evaluated and given certain merits. I don't know the album, and maybe you should have spent a few more words on it. The assessments you make are interesting; however, I don't fully agree with you, especially that one about the return of illiteracy, which is present in the music field and is not marginal. My subjective reflection.

The Tazenda are amazing, and an artist like Parodi is someone to be truly missed. I agree with the evaluations of the album made by the reviewer.

Excellent review, as usual. I don't know this Argentine group.

I wholeheartedly agree with Cooloras. Aside from that, you didn't tell me much about Placebo; I listened to the single on the radio, and it didn't change my overall opinion of them one bit (to put it bluntly, I didn't like it).

In my opinion, Liga has made a great album ("Sopravvissuti e sopravviventi," underrated even by his own fans) and two decent albums (the first one and "Buon Compleanno Elvis"). I never liked this one, except for 3-4 songs.

A really great review. Well done. I haven't listened to it yet, but I will definitely find time for the Eels (for whom I have a soft spot).

Wordiness and lengthy speeches in these discussions are only beneficial. Clarity is needed. "It’s about two tragedies, two human lives of equal value that have been cut short." The moment you take different measures and adopt morally different behaviors, you do not assign the same value to people's lives. We must speak the truth: in this country, Gabbo is valued less than Raciti because the latter wore a uniform. As far as I'm concerned, two deaths are two deaths and they are worth that because they are human beings (and on this, you agree with me). Two weights and two measures have been applied, and this is very serious. It seems logical and understandable to get angry when a fan or a police officer dies, in whatever circumstances it happens. "The intention was to make it clear once and for all (not at all) that football cannot and must not be in the hands of criminals," a commendable intent as long as they wish, but there are two things to contest: 1) They have never done anything to solve these problems 2) Their intentions, in my opinion, are worth zero because in front of many other deaths (like the earthquake), no one stopped and no one was outraged! Do you want to inform yourself? No problem. There are interesting stories on which a deafening and disturbing silence has fallen (just look at this site: 24/09/05: GIUSTIZIA PER PAOLO ! - Home The story is from 2005 but still has interesting developments today. Then let me know if you’ve ever read about it in the newspapers or heard it on TV).

@Mopaga, I criticized Geenoo's apologia of the state and the media. The Atalanta ultras have made a strong self-critique among themselves and also publicly about that episode, and they reflect a lot on the attitude they had. However, I do not fully condemn the episode for a simple reason: why was the championship suspended for Raciti, but not for a fan killed by a policeman? (And let it be clear, the policeman shot at waist height! Are we aware of this?) Why must the show go on only under their terms without respect for those who support it, namely the fans? It was a form of dissent; I do not doubt that the methods were wrong, but has anyone questioned why such an extreme form was chosen, and has anyone dared to criticize the police? About the scarf of the Napoli ultra? Everyone can choose the scarf they want (referring to the content). As for wearing the scarf while watching TV, I do it too when I can't watch Salernitana at the stadium. Remember that no ultra hides behind the positive things they do for the community. They simply ask another question: where are all those who are quick to criticize us when we take certain actions? Why does no one report them? Look, you're talking about people who have been continuously questioning themselves for at least 15 years (since the death of Spagna), who have had no problem asking questions and doing self-critique. People who have been waiting a long time to sit down at a table with the police and the government, but they have never shown up. No, they keep pushing ahead with ridiculous laws on banners, unconstitutional decrees (DASPO), turnstiles, and "fan cards" that are simply a monstrous money-making machine that does nothing for the safety of stadiums. The powerful forces in football have never been questioned, who demand money from PayTV and then discover that the dish is empty because people no longer go to the stadium (and then the excuse of violence is invented). They do not question themselves even though they get involved in all kinds of scandals (Doping, false accounts, Calciopoli, and so on). They do not question themselves because they allow banks to speculate so they can sustain whom they want (like Lazio, which has a terrifying amount of debt, doesn't pay it, and is protected by an indecent intertwining of banks and politics). The ultra world is not easy to understand and to know, but I do not tolerate people shooting blindly (like the one who wrote before you), who speak out of hearsay, who get outraged when a ticket for a Cohen or Waits costs 150 Euros and then justify the same amount for Juve-Real because "the show deserves such a price." The ultra is fed up with moralists, and if you allow me, I too (since I haven’t received any response to the arguments I raised before. I wonder why). Regarding the bans imposed on the Napoli Ultras, there's a lot to say, starting with that bill the Railways sent for last year’s away game in Rome, which all of Italy accepted as gospel without verifying anything. There’s more to say...
