I look at myself like an idiot, so I believe I become smarter, thank you. I've always said that television does a lot of harm and creates more and more victims. Forget about marijuana. There, fire (contrary to the bad metaphor from Mr. UDS that I read about) wouldn't be out of place at all. Less television, more sense of reality, Mr. UDS, I beg you. And please stop with your "candies that are better than others'." It's just not credible. About the Nomadi: If Augusto Daolio had known thirty years ago that his Nomadi would go to Sanremo, chances are, struggling to believe it (given the ultraconservative and bourgeois values that Sanremo prides itself on representing), he would have gone off to form another group, with greater coherence and a sense of dignity. Because "Dio è morto" wouldn't even be listened to by the last of the ushers these days, let's be honest, in a place like "Sanremo, the festival of catchy tunes to whistle for three (three?) months." I beg you, if you really care, try to convince me with more serious arguments, because so far I've seen and read very little seriousness from you. Regards.

For you: (despite the acronym resembling a party name): I suppose that if someone reads "Mickey Mouse" for a lifetime, they might miss the sense and meaning of something like the "Divine Comedy" or the "Canticle of the Creatures"; now, this shouldn't authorize them to shoot down the aforementioned works just because they don't understand them, or because they've dedicated their lives to reading or contemplating "Mickey Mouse". At most, they could say: I don't understand and/or I don't appreciate these things. But to go so far as to say, for example, "Is this writing?" makes me think that the person is really at a third-grade level. No offense, but let’s call things and/or people by their names, please; so let's avoid making outrageous claims, kindly. In short, if you don’t understand things like this and even allow yourself the luxury of denigrating them, the problem is yours, and quite serious, in my opinion, not the music’s. You don’t give me a great impression of seriousness and competence addressing the topic this way. What I take away from this is rather a bleak, biased, and sad picture of how tastes (in music) are conceived: "My lollipop is better than yours." From third grade to kindergarten. Stop.

But no, but no, what are you talking about? Why do you take it out on this cheerful guy? It's precisely for people like him that Neapolitan makes records, right? After all, as long as there are people who buy these records, Neapolitan is right to keep making them. Sic transeat gloria mundi. (sic!). And even if there is "so much other music out there," why should we care? After all, there’s D'Alessio, Dirisio, Ferro, Rame, aluminum, plastic, garbage... As usual: it’s really not worth starting certain discussions: you won’t get a thing out of it; people like that will keep listening to this stuff, and others will listen to their "stuff."

Yes, yes, the so-called "folk trilogy" is very beautiful, and yes, especially "Songs from the Wood." I love it.

Thank you, Lewis.........has it by any chance been reissued on CD by the folks at Vynil Magic? Do you know if it’s available? Thanks for the info!

Miki, once again I must commend you on the astuteness of your opinions. I picked up the CD this morning and, after listening to it, I'm now reading your impressions. Indeed, there’s energy to spare and Page, as they say, is in great form. It’s been a while since I heard him, and in this guise, I mean with the black crows, he seems to be in almost splendid shape. The Zep songs seem to be revived to new life. Truly exhilarating. While I’m at it, I’ll bother you for a second asking for clarifications, if you’re able to provide them, about the album Page did with David Coverdale years ago. How is it? Thanks again, :D

Yes, alright Antonino 91, you don't agree but... why? I mean, it's okay that you might have a different perspective on the matter, but can we know the reasons behind it? :D

...... and..... what am I told about "Like an old censer at dawn in a deserted village"? Is it worth it? Deserves it? Thanks to anyone who will have the kindness and courtesy to enlighten me on this. :D

For Miki: What do you think of the double "Live At The Greek" by Jimmy Page with the Black Crowes from '99? :-)

As you can see, He, in any case, your review, if nothing else (better in every sense than "Discipline"), has managed to awaken the spirits of the Tullians scattered across the peninsula, allowing them (and of course the one writing, among them) to compare ideas, tastes, idiosyncrasies, insights, reflections. Thank you, therefore, on my behalf, for this interesting opportunity.
