It's not your problem; it's just that the server is still laughing about the story of the Manchu who died before In Search Of because they copy too much from Rush, and so it won't accept the password. Let's hope they don't shoot anymore that huge or everything will go offline here out of embarrassment.

Ondarock is a parody, or to put it delicately, a tangled mess of shit in HTML.

I've never seen it, it's been a long time since I've seen anything from Cunningham, apart from Happy Days of course. The cover had some idiot as an avatar, I had seen that one, you know. :D

I agree with you: I think he never responded both because, in the end, 80% of Demetrio's topics revolve around things concerning him and his friends, so Bertoncelli couldn't really say "that's not true" because he wasn't there; at most, Demetrio could have been called out by Giulio or Patrizio. And also because, even on the remaining 20%, such as "maybe this is missing from your collection?" and "I can tell you that these elements are not enough, since they vary the language, culture, and basic structure. Perhaps you agree too," being someone who had been established in the music scene for a long time, he knew very well that he was going up against a massive pain in the ass like Demetrio, and this would drag on for years with citations in concerts, interviews, songs... a real pain in the neck. It would have all ended up as a spitting contest, and Bertoncelli had a gentlemanly reputation to uphold, unlike Demetrio, who was loved precisely because he was a massive pain in the ass. Therefore, the more Demetrio spat, the more his fans—jerks like me—would have praised him, while if Ricky did it, his buttoned-up fans would have responded by calling Ricky a child. It was very wise of Ricky to let it go.

Ah Ajeje, perhaps you know: is Ricky still alive? A long time ago I read one of his love letters to Ligabue and since that day, after labeling him as a poor jerk, I haven't heard anything about him anymore.

But in fact I didn't say he hates them, I said he spouts bullshit. Damn, according to him everything that came out after '72 is derivative here and there, "they must have certainly listened to this and that"... useless up, too similar down... and yet singer-songwriters are always fine. That pisses me off, if the instrumental is derivative, then the singer-songwriters are derivative too. He's almost as much of an idiot as Scaruffi, almost, huh.

Ajeje, those two are also my favorites, that response from Stratos is wonderful precisely because it is directed at Bertoncelli. If it were aimed at the last jerk who joined the editorial team of Tutto, I wouldn't have liked it because it would be filled with arrogance towards someone who can't reply. But damn, Ricky Bertoncelli, not just any jerk, and he treats him like the last fool to arrive... all of this is beautiful, Motherfuckertothemax, life lessons inspired by the philosophy of: "I’ve found out what to do in life... be a pain in the ass," or the best one: "Live and Be a Nuisance."

Di Nervi Scoperti is mentioned in the little book of the Crac! reprint, I think, or maybe it's in the biography on Patrizio's site, I can't remember. I have the little book from Crac! at home; maybe one day, when I connect from home and if I remember, I'll scan it and put it online. However, Patrizio's site is linked in the dedicated space under the review, so you can check it out if you want; there are lots of funny anecdotes from their various escapades. You might have noticed they would easily tell off even "gurus" like Bertoncelli (who is indeed a poor jerk, but still remains a "guru" of the Italian music scene), so just imagine what they said and did with "minor" journalists :D. Anyway, aside from the crap he spouts about technical/instrumental music, Bertoncelli has written beautiful things about De André and Bob Dylan; he's a bit like you with your tastes— the singer-songwriter drives him (did he? Is Ricky still alive?) crazy.

DEMETRIO CONCLUDES: 8. He scolds the White Elephant by saying that it "abuses Middle Eastern sound signals." Aside from the evident geographical confusion, there is no abuse happening here, since the aforementioned "sound signals" belong to me by right, tradition, and culture, and automatically belong to the Area, as we work as a group. Us! In this review of "Crac!" you accuse our second album of paranoia, but don't confuse that paranoia with our genuine anger that spills over into provocation. Area draws inspiration from reality: in "Caution" there were reflections of the Brescia bombing and the shadow of Ulrike Meinhof, in "Crac!" there is the dimension of joy and revolution with liberated Greece, Portugal, and Vietnam. This is our world, "but maybe for you the world is still flat" (Odessa 1920). //////// Finished. There is no record of any response from the poor jerk, perhaps he realized he was a poor jerk, and he started and turned to the Sex Pistols :D
