The Beatles The Beatles (White Album)

danverlaine, you read too much Scaruffi; be careful you don't go blind. And enough with this bullshit that they "had no cultural impact," it's one of the most famous (and unfounded) controversies from pierpierino Scaruffi and it’s not even funny anymore. Just listen to various musicians talk about the impact of the Beatles on 60s youth culture (off the top of my head: Lemmy from Motorhead, Joseph Byrd from USA, the singer from the Seeds, etc.). I repeat, one can criticize the musical discourse (just as one can with the Grateful, the Velvet, or anyone else—no one is untouchable in my opinion), but it is truly pathetic not to acknowledge the cultural impact. And I’m not a Beatles fan; in fact, I have NEVER even listened to this album (aside from the hits) even as a teenager.

Congratulations on Elric's comment, who compares Moorcock's Elric to characters like Raistlin from pseudoromances inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. I would defend fantasy. I was passionate about it as a teenager, partly due to role-playing games, but as I grew older I realized how little it offered me and how little there was. I always save Tolkien, and the idea of placing him retrospectively as a right-wing or left-wing author doesn't affect me, because my convictions are what they are, and even at 14 I could interpret him for what he was. The issue of being reevaluated by one ideology or another is relative (I had to argue with a 50-year-old fascist about the right-wing roots of the Indian Bhagavad Gita...prooooooootttt!), and it shouldn't interfere with the reading and interpretation of the same. I admit that 90% of the serious fantasy fanatics fit Alessio's description; often it serves as a catharsis for serious social deficiencies, but that can eventually (at least in intensity) end with the discovery of the "Magical World of Girls." Honestly, I have managed (and still manage) to combine girls and pleasure, whether it involved fantasy/RPG/Lovecraft, and so on.

How much time has passed, it almost brings a tear to my eye... but as you can imagine, this is not exactly my favorite sport.

I don't understand the connection between materialistic degradation and the search for another spirituality (Yoga, Buddhism in general, and Zen in particular). Honestly, as a believer, little by little, through studying religions and history, but above all by sincerely questioning myself, I became an atheist by the age of 16 or 17. With my study of Asian cultures at university, I realized how religions (all of them, not just those organized into mono/polytheisms, but also shamanic cults up to the Great Mother) have often been ways of interpreting the world surrounding humanity that people did not understand. A way to explain the unknowable. Science is in contrast to this because it is replacing these interpretations in the analysis of the phenomena that surround us, providing more plausible explanations (I say this personally). Obviously, science cannot explain our inner essence (call it soul or whatever you prefer), a sphere that for many pertains to religion or rather, to spirituality. Honestly, I would never delegate to any external entity the analysis of my self, my being, because it seems to me quite a sterile operation, just as I wouldn't interrogate scriptures, no matter how illuminating they might be in certain passages (especially in the Mahayana sutras), but no less than some novels; instead, I would sincerely reflect with myself. Or at most with some other human being around me. I prefer to believe in humanity (or in woman, let’s say in woman) rather than projecting my ego as a human-dominating-the-natural-world into divinities made (but look at that) often in my image and likeness. In other words, losing myself in the search for a divine motivation for my life is, for me, a waste of time. Okay, I am here; life is one and must be lived (at least for me) with others, communicating and getting to know as many humans as possible, sharing with them this unique opportunity we have.

No, ugly business is cool, it's very Italian Spiderman! I’d give your friend another couple of years of sanity, then I’d steer clear of him; if he gets even one of the psychoses induced by certain psychedelic stuff, you need to run for the hills!

Usual sprinkling of guano and away to the hunt. You have an innate ability to talk about records of which I often have the slightest idea. And if I only listened to punk OI I would understand, but moving in territories similar to yours leaves me astonished. But have you recorded any of the last albums you've written about lately???

I’ve had it for a while, but I never gave it the right attention, Lewis. Obviously, your writing reminded me of this deficiency. Took wasn’t involved with Twink in the Acquarian Age??? I remember that once in Japan, the guy from Capt. Trip Records was trying to sell me the solo project of Took (I think the band's name was Shagrat) as a masterpiece. But it always smells fishy to me when someone tries to sell you THEIR product by showering it with praise, so I declined. Has anyone listened to this blessed Shagrat? Unfortunately, it only exists in their reissue, and if I can't find it in Tokyo, I won’t order it from here. Ah, I didn’t find anything on the internet either.

But why not become Protestant? After all, God is the same, you have less hassle, you can get married and have children, and you’re also one of the driving forces behind the market economy.
