But, in short, shall we say that, in times of scarce inspiration and with contracts to fulfill, many artists with dazzling careers have released a cover album, just to satisfy fans and record companies? And to get clicks on the internet? And to sell a few scattered singles/EPs?

I am reminded, with a shiver down my spine, of the last of the Poet.
Why, Lord, why?

I took it and I don't know how to argue against you.
Even bruss ends up in megasciò wandering around with millions, rollistò style.
And enough records, peccarità...

And all are in the place.

It must be said, my dear friends and companions, that the self-proclaimed monarch (more fool than ark, in fact, indeed, just a fool...) known by most as @[lector] (but in certain circles, for years nicknamed Wanda the Red), shamelessly expresses technical-musical opinions that one could do without, like onions in pastry. However, it is well known the patience of the DeBaserian public who for years has borne the stigmas of his interventions, well embodied by the great @[G] who, in order to have him as little as possible around the scrotum and the perineum, even dubbed him *Evangelista*, a generic term derived from classical Aramaic meaning, for some "Insufferable blowhard with unworthy Campanian accent" and for others "pain in the ass of rare and precious craftsmanship."

That said, friends and companions, rarely, increasingly rarely, one must, however, acknowledge a faint light of reason that crosses what remains of a brain that his august parents worked so hard to induce to studies that were not solely devoted to the worship of Gaymachismo in a Greek-sauce style, with alternating, it must be said, results.
So, and I conclude, his assertion regarding the careers of Giuseppe Daniele and Lucio Dalla is not entirely devoid of truth, though for most it may be reckless. He, however, as often happens, given his inability to restrain himself in the soaring flights of his sick imagination, certainly exaggerates when citing as foundational products of a career, that of Dalla, songs of laughable effect and faint meaning like those recorded before the Roversi Triad, which, at a strictly and purely artistic level, certainly represents the peak of his production. The Magical Quintet that Dalla set in motion in Italian discography, however, has few equals, not only among our shores. When he realized he had learned enough about lyric composition, he produced songwriting masterpieces like "How Deep is the Sea," "Lucio Dalla," "Dalla," and the "QDisc," preceded by that "Automobili," still in tandem with the poet-bookseller, which aptly anticipated themes and settings of the subsequent four albums.
After these, the inclined plane began to orient itself downward, Lucio decided to opt for just a few easy bucks, and his production felt the effects, almost as much as his scalp did, let's say that too, why not.

Thus, let’s say it, with Giuseppe Daniele from Santa Maria La Nova, author of a first album of a singer-songwriter style and a sestina (known as "The Magical Sestina"), between '79 and '85, which firmly established him in the Olympus of thinking and writing minds of Italian authorial song, further enhanced in value by the instrumental technical thickness of Our Guy, well-versed in blues and funky jazz, truly with few equals around here.
As with his Emilian colleague, then, he began the already known downward slope that led him to publish sycophantic remakes in putrid chords, which Pinuccio could compose even while sitting on the toilet, without any effort, given that he too discovered that with little effort he could still sell packs of records just for the name printed on the cover.
Finally, friends, may there always be praise for that Campanian student who, every morning, seeing his modest teacher frowning over his misfortunes, ridicules him behind his back with gestures and words, reminding him of the narrow-minded, sad and shabby world where he, under the cover of night, offers his weary thanks to sailors, tough guys, and outcasts of every kind.

Henna, Cinema, and especially Latin Lover were worthy of appearing even in any album of the infernal quintet that Lucio released between '76 and '81, truly, in any one of those. The rest of the album was Lucio Dalla who, with great quality and notable effort, sought an honorable exit, a straight path that would move him forward, keeping him in the wake of the Magical Quintet while simultaneously projecting him into a future where he could rule as an absolute monarch over Italian singer-songwriter pop after the slight misstep of 1983 and those masterpieces of unfinishedness that were Viaggi Organizzati and Bugie, beautiful albums, where our protagonist was making chest efforts, to put it in his words, to maintain very high compositional and performance levels, perhaps at the expense of that fresh and lively immediacy that characterized the Five of Perfection and that he would never find again. The albums that followed Henna saw a dramatic decline in creative inspiration, being full of clumsy rehashes and exceedingly catchy chords, tired repetitions of well-worn clichés, sparkling and carefully crafted sounds but nothing more. In short, Lucio had understood that at the point he had reached, it was enough for him to appear on a prime-time television show, publish any sort of junk, like a caruso, I don't know, even let out a few farts into the microphone and his albums would still sell, some more, some less. In this light, he produced five products in the decade '99/'09 that constituted a rather sad farewell to an audience that had seen him soar not only in the strictly musical compositional realm but also as a writer of his own lyrics, not trivial, autarchically daring, unusual for a landscape often asphyxiating and sometimes closed like that of Italian songwriting.

I came across the film based on this novel when I was around sixteen, and it intrigued me a lot. I was struck by the continuous shifting from one plane to another, from the imprisonment in Dresden to deep space, to everyday life in the USA... I understood it somewhat, I would have liked to see it again, but it wasn't even the time of VHS recorders yet, let alone streaming films... Then, during my military service, a friend lent me the book from which the film was adapted, and there, I truly encountered a narrative so fluid, free of obstacles and sharp edges, yet so varied, capable of taking the reader, in a completely painless manner, from one temporal and spatial plane, but also one intimately lived, to another. It was truly a masterpiece of superior storytelling, as it often happens, surpassing the film... I even read it during the winter guard shifts, taking risks, but the starry winter sky was a great backdrop...

And it was also well-endowed in terms of humanitarian message, with that rejection of war, the horror of the bombing of Dresden which, it’s worth remembering, was conceived as bloody revenge by the USA and GB, a Coventry-like scenario with carpet bombing in the most real and realistic sense of the term, a historic city leveled, with no military importance, completely turned to rubble out of spite and vengeance, where for the first time the firestorm was tested at 1500 degrees creating a return wind that sucked people and objects into the blaze, with 25,000 confirmed casualties. For the protagonist, as for the author, the event was more than just an episode in life and haunted him for decades... In the book, the protagonist, a bumbling and incompetent soldier, finds himself imprisoned in Dresden and witnesses the bombing "from the inside," and that chapter is blood and gore, a cornerstone of literature against war, even if it is "just" a personal account, since Vonnegut was that soldier and the experience was his, personal. Then there's the porn actress provided by the incorporeal aliens for the zoo, the "ordinary" wife who died in an "ordinary" way, the son and the family that exacerbated his being swept away by life because, like most of us, he was unable to live one that was fully his own. Thank you, Dado.

A passionate review, revealing sincerity and clarity of purpose.
As for them, I mean the three excellent musicians supporting Mercury (and how much I tried to imitate, in the late seventies, the hard and pure sound of the snare drum of roggerteilor, unbeatable...), it must be said that they were pursuing the talent of freddimércuri, enduring his excesses, and moving forward thanks to his aforementioned excesses and talent, while also bending their rock backgrounds and preferences to the new, more lucrative pop trends of the zanzibarino big tooth.
He, truly, a character so empty and arid as few, you can't hear an interview with him, anywhere, without him repeating multiple times that he only loved to have fun (more than legal, huh? But you kept it up, freddi...) and he displayed an ego so big and such arrogance, neglect for others and no empathy that most were surprised when he returned to Canossa, to the band he had left thinking of who knows what solo career, apologizing to everyone.
But he was a great singer, damn it, he would have made any band in the world happy, with a beautiful, powerful, emotional, and virtuosic voice like his.
Three times out of four used carelessly, forgive the Gallicism.
