I am mostly for the Bowie of the Berlin trilogy, but I loved this album a lot, also because it was the album that allowed me to make Bowie more digestible to various friends, and thanks to this, they then went back through his career and finally ended up appreciating the Bowie that I always insisted they would like :)) a bit of a convoluted sentence, I hope it makes sense... hi bogus

"Why doesn't a woman become a guitar virtuoso?" ... well, I know quite a few virtuosos (that is, skilled ones), like Jennifer Batton, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Felicia Collins, Sheril Crow, Ani Di Franco, Melissa Van Der Mauer, to name a few famous ones... Muriel Anderson, Elizabeth Cotton, Ida Presti, Emily Remler, Vicki Genfan, Ana Popov, to mention some not-so-famous but highly appreciated in jazz and blues by industry insiders... Or Greta Kat, super flashy but ranked among the ten fastest guitarists on the planet... I wouldnā€™t be so catastrophic, would I?

It's true, it's a (slow) evolving process. However, it seems to meā€”though it might just be an impressionā€”that unlike the '90s and '70s, in the '80s women had more space and more impact in the music industry (even in Italy). It's just an impression, but in the '90s there seems to have been a step back... this might be a judgment linked to my listening habits, so donā€™t take it as absolute, but the impression remains...

Molko, I know all the artists you've mentioned quite well. I know perfectly well that there are women with real talent. I didnā€™t say they donā€™t exist, but they are in a clear, I would say scandalous, minority. In the ratio of successful male musicians to successful female musicians, women are at a disadvantage, that's undeniable. The ratio is 10 to 1. For every Cat Power, there are dozens and dozens of amazing singer-songwriters with the same level of success and following; for every Shannon Wright, likewise, for every Krall (magnificent) the same... itā€™s the proportion that is skewed, itā€™s not 50/50. x Eze: "it's women - the healthy ones - who have no interest in prevailing over men"ā€¦ go ask Ani Di Franco or Erikah Badu or Ursula Rucker what they think of this statement... then "prevailing," who talks about prevailing? We're talking about equality, thatā€™s different. Anyway, guys, I donā€™t want to convince anyone; I just get passionate about this topic. To give an example of equality, I mention Sonic Youth. Hereā€™s a perfect group where male and female sensibilities complement each other, and thatā€™s their magic. The Pixies, for example, the same thing... and they've realized too that itā€™s better to bring together the two worlds of "male" and "female" to regain the same alchemy (and success) today... Speaking of women musicians... listen to the album by 50 Foot Wave, "Golden Ocean," just released (4AD). Itā€™s the new group of Kristin Hersh (former Throwing Muses), a great artist. This album, created by her from the lyrics to the last note, but played with two truly talented men, buries Foo Fighters, Feeder, Hole, Distillers, and similar bands. Another example of successful complementary work at the highest level. This discussion is starting to please me; there are some really interesting contributions :)

But instead of asking me about my personal life, have you ever wondered why the overwhelming majority of rockstars are male? Why do women struggle to become major stars unless they include a sexual component in their music? And don't tell me that the sexual component doesn't matter. Throughout the history of music, from classical to rock, from sacred music to jazz, women have always found it hard to emerge. Why do you think that is? Because they are lacking in talent? Or MAYBE because a certain 'female sensitivity' towards music is not well understood by the male big shots in record labels and is not promoted at the highest levels? Try asking yourselves these questions before launching into a crusade, okay? (for example, read here: www.renzocresti.it/saggi_4.html) --- by the way, I enjoy these discussions; you are only playing into my hands!

Aho, come on, Guevo can you speak in a normal way? You're the one exaggerating! I mean, do you even read yourself? It's nice to have a discussion here, to talk about it like Pollak did before you (who rightly puts me in my place), but you really make me lose interest, you know? I bring up my personal experience, and you respond by being aggressive... not nice at all, actually quite annoying. Let's discuss it and not argue, okay? Have a good Sunday.

El Guevo, a comment like that from you, I would have never expected. A little disappointment :-/ But excuse me, do you know what I'm talking about? I would like a civil discussion when I say something that you (plural) donā€™t agree with (civilly = with an opinion and not just exclamations and jokes). These kindergarten-like outbursts are just self-serving; they might even amuse me, but they donā€™t stimulate me... So Iā€™ll reiterate the question: do you think women experience music differently than men? Or: is female sensitivity towards music different from male sensitivity? Or is it exactly the same? In my opinion, there are differences, so much so that when I was selling records, I had a selection of albums that I reserved only for women and that I wouldnā€™t dream of proposing to men, because the latter would have considered it stuff for ā€œlittle ladies.ā€ I would also like to know what the women think about this.

I think so instead. And I donā€™t feel like discussing it. Iā€™ve sold records for so many years that I assure you it has an impact, indeed!

Enrica, you definitely read the comments in the other review; for now, Iā€™m waiting to listen to it, then Iā€™ll judge. But the cover, eh... you already know. Regardless, yours is a beautiful review, really well written. Now I really need to listen to it; youā€™re a woman, so you pick up on things that guys donā€™t catch... a bit like the last Marlene, in short. Iā€™ll let you know. --- Zigghio, saved in the corner... ;)) Iā€™d like to specify (especially for Trell if he passes by here): I really like Dulli, but he is a huge egocentric, so he should just mind his own business, imho.
