Another thing that is absolutely right, incredibly right: <<<<< Damn, but the APC are not the RATM! >>>>>> In fact, I won't buy the album from them, I even have the original singles from the RATM, who cares! :))))))))))

Here, barva, absolutely right! You've hit the nail on the head: <<< A singer who sings, who thinks about the style of singing (and in their spare time they ponder some political issues, etc.). >>> Exactly, since social commitment is A SERIOUS THING, SERIOUSLY SERIOUS, SERIOUSLY SERIOUS, HYPER SUPER SERIOUS, their spare time just isn't enough for me. These are serious matters; if you engage in them, you do it full-time, even if it’s just for one album. Then you can also make 187 albums of songs dedicated to pizza and pistachio ice cream, but when you take on A SERIOUS MATTER, YOU DO IT SERIOUSLY, it’s not something for spare time. It’s called social COMMITMENT, not social SPARE TIME. I know, I know I’m too extreme about these things, but I’m proud of it, olè. Alien Vs Predator 2, the return of the little exorcist.

With this album, they only found agreement from those who already thought like them, but they did not challenge the certainties of those who did NOT think that way. Here, we all understood, but the sheep who voted for Bush didn’t understand a damn thing; they saw a symbol of peace like so many times before.

Yes Hal, it's clear that you're from Sassari and you're used to speaking plainly. I'm talking about Effectiveness, but also about the Field of Action. Look at Pasolini, damn it, you and so many other people understood and received it, I for example, who in '74 was not even part of my father's nighttime projects, from that phrase there, I didn't understand a damn thing, and I'll tell you more, I KNEW NOTHING. I am a living example, therefore, of the fact that more could have been done; now, I don't have the means to understand what he meant, if he said who they were, and explained himself better, and gave me more references, through research I would have understood. What I'm saying is that by stating things abstractly, you please those who understand them, but you leave ignorant those who do not. Do you want to wake someone up who hasn't understood? Then explain it well to them. Very straightforward. I have to explain something about the Web; if I speak in precise terminology, I get to the point quickly, I put on a show, and those who know understand me and appreciate the speed with which I explained it, while my grandfather and my 14-year-old cousin, who loves Take That, don’t understand a damn thing, and they'll remain ignorant. Let's wake up even the grandparents and the silly girls, so we can truly get to a point.

Do you know a sculptor?... I was planning to have a half-bust of Zack made.

Do you understand now what I mean by "half step"? The Ratm took the full step, they did it halfway. Without getting into the music, I'm talking about the message, not the musical notes, social commitment, not songs, which can be relatively beautiful or ugly, just like symbols, which can be interpreted in good or bad ways; if you speak clearly, there's little room for error. If I give you the middle finger, it might even be playful, but if I say "ugly piece of a cock made to be fucked by your grandfather on his deathbed" ... there's little room for error, that's what I mean, I'm not joking :))) Logically, that "fucked" is dedicated to Vrensis :))))))

ANOTHER example RATM. The Crow, a film that, due to the death of the ever so missed Brandon Lee, son of MAMMAMIABRUCELEE, will have a ton of sales, and what do they shoot at us? Darkness. As a title, it seems like Darkness relates to the crow, but the rest doesn’t have a damn thing to do with it; Darkness stands for the mental darkness of the idiots who sleep, just like Go BACK SLEEP. Only GO BACK SLEEP is three words, but Darkness is a nice clear and straightforward text, NO SYMBOLS TO INTERPRET. Clear & Decisive, even more than Sambuca. / RATM 5 - APC 0, until next time, sports friends.

You see, this is TRUE SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT, not some damn symbol to interpret. Sure, better a symbol than a kick in the ass, but while you're at it, do social engagement, not an acceptable surrogate, because you can do it both through means and through intelligence and culture, which are not lacking in Maynardo or Billy. ANOTHER EXAMPLE RATM (you can tell I like RATM... not true?) ... Soundtrack Godzilla, they make a song, Gdzilla is a film that will sell a lot, and they know it, and what do they hit us with? "No Shelter"... ONE OF THEIR MOST ENGAGED SONGS. It has nothing to do with Godzilla, but it will reach a lot of people.
