Hey, did you take it the wrong way? Look, I didn't mean to raise my voice. I just wanted to make you understand my point of view. If I offended you, I'm sorry. Anyway, you told me "you're the one who DOESN'T know how to read." So don't get angry.

Friend, I was also brought into the discussion about fiction and death as a source of fame and mystification. The accusation of not knowing how to read and misinterpreting what I wrote was directed at both you and the others. That it wasn’t taken as an absolute flop from one of my comments was quite clear (also because it was quoted). With my response, which you are referring to, I wanted to say that even if I had defined it as an "absolute flop," what would the problem have been? Is it some kind of lèse-majesté? Because the guy in question had written "FOR ME an absolute flop." Saying that, expressing a personal opinion that one is convinced of (and I agree that death has benefited some, even though that’s not always the case for artists), should it be a sign of a poor understanding of Italian music? It's like me saying that by mocking the Queen, as you do in your post, you demonstrate your ignorance in the field of international music. There’s no proportion. You have the right to say that the Queen is crap, just as I have the right to say that Gaetano disgusts me, quite a bit. I reiterate: think before you read.

I was at the date in Rome. Legendary evening, really. He captivated me as he always does on stage. I’ll be going to see him again in Rome on the 7th of October. Great review and truly superb show, yet another confirmation that it’s not the huge stages and dazzling lights that make live music great, but that a true artist can electrify you even in a small club. Absolutely fantastic Fish.

No! "Paramocio" was cuter... What a shame.

Look, your hierarchy of values is fundamental to my life. Of course, my judgment about the artist in question remains the same. Believe me, you tricky person.

Of course, if an authority like you tells me, I have to believe it.

Fundamental and you’re right to emphasize that. However, perhaps in addition to the historical overview, you should have focused a bit more on the album in question. Personally, I love them: Transmission, Atmosphere, She's Lost Control, Atrocity Exhibition are more than just songs; they are delusions and abysses that are unforgettable.

What doesn't help is not knowing how to read. I didn't say that his current success is due to fiction, nor did I call it a "flop assoluto," but even if I did, that wouldn't indicate a lack of knowledge about Italian music.

Strange. I don't wear designer lingerie and I'm not a drag queen, yet I talk about it. Really strange.

Hi.
