Kosmo? If only you knew, he was small and little by little they sent me photos, and then he would draw for me, and then he grew up and I received his report card, stating that he passed with a 6 and that he loves playing soccer (classic) and then more photos and these days, his first little letter written in his own hand, I can't tell you how hard it was, first because they write in Portuguese and second because the first handwriting is a whole program, anyway the content was understandable, and believe me it made me cry.

It's not like that, Kosmo. Let me give you an example of Pedro. I can support him for a lifetime. They have their own personal account. I've traveled to many places before making this choice, which is not easy. I don't trust associations where you give money, and then your money goes towards salaries, taxes, various bills, and unfortunately, for trips of who knows who. In my case, the money I send through bank transfer is in Pedro's name, and I do it directly to Matola. Plus, I know people who have already gone to see how everything works. Of course, you can never be completely sure, but there is a huge difference between this and going through those associations that take more money for themselves than for the children. When Pedro turns 18, if he resists the temptations of the street, he could even come here to us. Either way, I hope he can make it. I’ve tried to give, and so far I’ve succeeded in bringing a ray of sunshine to a life that deserves to be lived. We do what we can, which is always better than nothing.

And since I'm in the right review to say this, instead of clashing over misunderstandings or pride, do you want to do something real and concrete? Do like me, adopt a child from a distance; not only will you save a life, but you will also feel good inside, and this child, for as long as they live, will know that at least one person in the world understood how important it was for them to exist, and how significant the value of a less fortunate person is. My boy’s name is Pedro; he lives in Matola - Mozambique. They wrote to me that they bought him a pair of shoes because the ones he had were tight and broken, and at the end of school, they got him a plastic ball. He always keeps this ball with him because it is the only valuable thing he has, and he wrote to me that one day he would really like to hug me and look into my eyes. Do you know what I felt when I read these words? No, it’s impossible to describe what you feel inside. If you can, do it too; there are many kids who have the right to live, just like your kids.

STRONKO? NOW I’m voting for the review, and congratulations on 2,000 views in 5 days! Haloa Notte....

mmmmm.... yes, the cover by Peter Gabriel, I don't agree that it's a masterpiece, but I agree with the rest. Of course, I loved watching Jim when he danced, gestured, and slowly clapped his hands while he bent down; it was all his way of being. Not to mention the shaved back and long front hairstyle, like the leader of the Lotus Eaters—what memories, seems like yesterday.... I can't say anything about the Simple Minds; they too made history. The instrumentation has always been a fireworks display, and the early albums were a unique experimentation. In short, they were great.

oops the votes

I'm sorry, there's nothing to be done, just the very last album, but precisely because I'm making an exception to the rule, Simple Minds have been declining more and more and it's a shame, because they have produced albums that could keep many quiet, and they were great. And please, Ros, give it your all with enthusiasm, if you consider them with the highest rating. Friendly, once again :-)

I have always advised things that are right and beautiful, respect above all and then the sharing of ideas and judgments, this is true civility and education and above all it’s a goal for being in debaser, well done!

And I always read you, anyway it’s human to get pissed off, sometimes for nothing, it’s enough to admit it at least to oneself.

Ros, I add amicably... you gave 5 stars, which means you feel it in your blood, so you could have gone even deeper; this Album is a runaway train, it’s a live volcano. I truly see it as one of the few where the instrumentation is explosively at its peak. You should have celebrated it for what it really is; it’s just a suggestion for your future reviews. Bye, with affection.
