Frankie Goes To Hollywood sold millions of records, and when they arrived at their first live performance (after months and months since the album release), they didn’t know how to sing. The voice wasn’t theirs. Does that happen now? No. When did it happen? In the wonderful 80s that messed with your brain.

And especially you lecture us while buying records from the worst assholes scraping the bottom of the barrel. Really, it’s annoying to know that you exist.

But respond, it’s not like you’re going to bring De André and Pavese back into the conversation. Come up with something else since you want to save the years of lead, the plastic years, the drinkable Milan, Craxi & Andreotti. The Drive-In, Cuccarini, Cioè, snacks made with everything that doesn’t exist in nature, canned goods that lasted three years on store shelves, Boy George, George Michael, Nick Kamen, the Bros, Saranno Famosi by Leroy Brown... Pavese a couple of idiots, you were born and raised in the midst of the crap they played for everyone, nothing compared to Pavese and De André. Charlie, you’re a fool, Salvi, there’s a car to move... one could go on for a millennium listing the Italian crap of the 70s/80s. And there’s also plenty from the 60s, of course, from Rita Pavone singing “Datemi un martello” (can we realize this? songs for children) to Caselli. Or let’s take Mina. Who took Italians' money to sing songs written by others, play the diva, and then happily scamper back to Switzerland to enjoy the silliness of petty Italy. At Area concerts, a sold-out show was never seen, nor at those of Arti e Mestieri, nor at Osanna. And this is said by those who played back then, not me. Do you know when the records of serious – REALLY SERIOUS – Italian music were reissued? After the internet, you idiot. Do you know that "Tilt" by Arti e Mestieri sold more in the reissue 25 years later than when it was released? And who bought it? Today’s twenty-somethings. Yesterday’s crowd sang “Il Cobra non è un serpente... ma un pensiero innocente...”

Moccia has taken the place of nothing, don’t talk nonsense, open your mind before you speak. Moccia has taken the place of CIOè. Do you remember the CIOè, or do you only remember the very few decent things from those dark years? Pieraccioni has taken the place of millions of others, or have I been the only one to watch "commedia sexy all'italiana"? 150 films of Franco & Ciccio, have I been the only one to see them? Fennech making a movie a week, have I been the only one to see that? Take three names, and you can build twenty years of Italian history around them. You're really annoying.

And above all, look at what the young people today are doing under the Senate. With cardboard shields and cameras, screwing around with the technical trials that have worked for 50 years. The 50 years of crap that you are regretting. Cry all you want, you’d deserve those years of crap you’re talking about.

<< an episode of the extremely harmful xfactor >> Instead, Maurizio Seimandi's Supetelegattone was indeed a Cultural show. At least on xfactor they make them sing live.

<< On the culture of our country >> But what do they care about Fellini, excuse me? They don’t see themselves in it, there’s nothing there that represents them, and above all, it’s filmed with techniques that today seem ridiculous. At 20, back then, you had to watch only Howard Hughes movies and listen to Nilla Pizzi. Doing the math, your twenties were those.

<< and they don't know shit about anything. >> Live in a world that’s all yours, trust me. Talk to your friends' little brothers, I do it sometimes. They introduce you to bands, movies, anime... they're amazing compared to how we were. Really amazing. They don’t pay for anything, they have it all, and they always figure out what they want (they have free time, you know).

Look at that Lady Gaga, back in the day Madonna didn't spend months and months on tour, she enjoyed the money from the fools who bought her records. Now Gaga has to work, move from place to place, sweat every night, scream, and be always happy and lively in front of the fools who listen to her. Sooner or later, she’s going to get fed up. Not to mention that while she’s out there, she spends a lot of the money she earns on nonsense, so she has to get to the next album quickly. And considering that that album has to be packed with overpaid guests, a slice goes to them too. Madonna, on the other hand, enjoys the money she made in the 80s and 90s, sitting in Swiss banks earning interest. The 80s and 90s were just a hell of a business, now it’s millions and millions and millions of times better.
