I apologize: in my emphasis, I have cast myself out. I will take 1/2 remedy.

Thanks to Hal and Jim Morrison: I see that you are the only ones who immediately understood what I meant regarding the live jazz discussion: if we take away the direct sound from this music, which thrives on improvisation, what remains? What I meant to say (just to clarify for those who didn’t get it at first) is that I wouldn’t give, in 99% of cases, the highest rating to a live album by a band/singer of any other musical genre that isn’t this, and just to be complete, I add a classical/symphonic/opera/etc. and lyrical album. OK?

First their review and then Stan Ridgway's? And what reviews! Am I dreaming or is this real?!

I'm intrigued: I followed him for a while, then lost track of him, since, besides the radio, certain artists are also boycotted by record stores… Luckily there's the net! I'll follow the advice. Good job.

Dear DeReviewer, comment on something different: if you really must engage with "commercial" music, choose something more substantial. We get that you like Elisa and that you defend her fiercely, but after having gone through her albums and a bit (just a bit) more, I would like you to astonish us and not just stick to 4 skinny and (self)celebratory lines!

I would be crazy to say that he isn't great. But I don't like his attitude towards those in front of him. The public, journalists, industry insiders: I haven't heard a single person say "despite being a star, he's really an easygoing guy, a completely normal person!" Even at his concerts, in recent years, he has that posture that communicates nothing, in fact. He doesn’t open up to others. If you want to be a public figure, you need to put yourself out there, you have to be ready to be "sputtanati" in every sense! If you don't want that, then do like Mina: record your albums and disappear. Or just sing in the shower and keep to yourself. That's why I don't comment on the reviews about him: I can't seem to find him likable, and my judgment would be heavily influenced by that. But his music is innocent... A bit like Maradona: two divine feet under a crazy head!

Two extra words, no? Right?

You really love to joke around, huh? Little tricksters! Carnival is coming soon, but just wait a few more days, don’t act like children...

Thank you for the trust, super introducer! As for the violins, don't worry: the suffering lasts a short time and is very diluted!

Everything is very beautiful: but above all, let's not forget, since we're talking about records, him and his music. We miss him every moment, and that's serious!
