@psycro: your comments don't surprise me at all. I just wanted to know if you believe in anything, apart from in freely elected Western governments.

Page from the manual.

More than Orwell, it reminds me of Huxley. It seems to me like an absolutely useless and unoriginal book. Given that there are tens of thousands of good books out there, he could have easily skipped writing it. But I know, it's hard to be famous and humble at the same time.

Given that the KC have been and still are (a bit less now) my ideal of music, I must admit that lately Fripp hasn’t been able to excite me much. He’s recycling quite a bit; I saw a recording of a concert from 2003 (with Belew, Mastelotto, and Gunn) and nothing moved me. First of all, because Bruford is missing, and then it seems that all the ideas focus solely on the dialogue between the guitars. Boring like a ping-pong game or like a gay porn movie. I don't know this project, so I won't vote, and I thank you for the tip; I’ll go look it up right away.

Classic.

Great!

I liked it too!

I clap my hands! Great review, you write everything without being heavy, well done. @Thejargonking: always on the front lines, huh, with the prog? And then you know them all, goodness gracious.

So, so... I agree with elected. Edward Scissorhands, that's for sure!

I am perfectly aware that we live in a time where it’s fashionable to talk about conspiracies. It’s also true that it’s difficult to have clear ideas because online you can find everything and its opposite. The important thing, in my opinion, is to stimulate a certain critical capacity that is increasingly fading away. For example, limiting ourselves to the political field, there used to be oppositions: republic or monarchy, capitalism and communism, which at least at an ideal level were antagonisms. And today? What choices do we have left, bipartisanship? It’s a joke, just like all Italian politics after the war. So I think it's our duty to question what no longer seems to have this possibility. Growth? How much longer must politicians and economists bother us with this crap? We don’t want growth, we want stability and balance; we want to give back what we stole during colonialism and neo-colonialism (we as Europeans). We need to reflect more; that’s why these documentaries (see also The Corporation), even though they can be subject to many criticisms, are important, and it’s important that they shake a little the constructs that imprison our critical capacities. It’s difficult, yes! But it’s the most winding paths that lead us to the most beautiful places. They are choices; it doesn’t take much, just read a good history book (mine from high school read many years later was "Camera - Fabietti") and then the awareness, knowing how to listen to that inner voice when it tells us that something isn’t right. POWER IS NEVER GOOD!
