If you're not interested in political in-depth broadcasts, you can always watch Big Brother, Enrico Papi's quizzes, or The Jackal on Rete4.

Truly evocative is the tale, the characters, the details, the flights of imagination, the events, the soundtrack, and the landscapes. A sublime film, a masterpiece.

Mike, I don’t even read it, I found that little blurb on a website.

Well, I think even a fart is better than Belpietro... Anyway, to illustrate the mindset of certain fascistoid elements, I’ll quote the exact words of a lunatic who wrote a letter in a column for "Il Giornale": <<I can't grasp how the proliferation of new newspapers, like that of Marco Travaglio, the most vile man of the defeatist left who is always looking for new ways to weaken the Prime Minister, given his continuous rise in the approval of Italians, can be tolerated so lightly. Is it possible that lawyer Ghedini cannot find a plausible crime to shut down these "vipers" that slither with the ongoing intent to bite the Prime Minister and cause his political death? A newspaper that openly offends and denigrates the head of government should be shut down immediately. Let’s leave criticism to those born to criticize all political opponents. Once an example is set, other leftist newspapers will think twice before continuing to offend the Prime Minister and his coalition. Can't we find a law that addresses the moral attack on the head of government? I believe the only solution to this continuous drip of slander is to respond with the methods (which I do not approve of) used by Putin against Georgia, and China against Tibetan monks: "Force." After a series of beatings administered to Franceschini, D’Alema, Travaglio, Santoro, and Maurizio Mannoni, the results would be seen immediately, and respect for Berlusconi would return.>> Any comment is superfluous...

The usual accusations? Roccia, you confuse accusations with facts. If someone states that Dell'Utri was sentenced to 9 years for mafia, that is not an accusation but a fact. If someone says that Berlusconi was acquitted 7 times thanks to the attribution of extenuating circumstances (and thus committed 7 crimes, but no longer prosecutable due to the expiration of the terms), that is a fact, not an accusation.

They didn't copy Satriani; it's just that the single "Viva la Vida" has the exact same melody (or nearly so) as a piece by Joe, but it's something unintentional... it's also quite easy for something like this to happen when you write banal and predictable pieces (this applies to both Satriani and Coldplay). Then there's a hell of a production that desperately tries to pass off a piece that isn't genius at all as brilliant.

No wait, if you had told me "I like it," I wouldn’t have had anything to say, but you said that "di fatto" is one of the most important and successful albums of recent years. In my house, "di fatto" does not equal "according to my tastes." Honestly, I couldn't care less about the production since amazing albums are released daily that, however, musically make me want to vomit. I’m not saying MTV=shit (even though it is in 90% of cases), but just that this album is pathetic; it’s pathetic regardless of sales, and even more pathetic are those who consider it a masterpiece based on absolutely limited listens.

Quality of melodies? Sorry, but what does that mean? Who determines the quality of melodies? To me, they seem like obvious, trivial, and superficial tunes, perfect for the artistic sensibility of those who only listen to what is presented to them by mainstream channels. In the last decade, albums have been released that are light-years ahead, but you certainly can't know them as long as you settle for the ready-made fare of the radio and TV, better to trust the majors who tell you that this insipid little disc is a masterpiece without even comparing it with the rest.

"In fact, it is one of the most important and successful of recent years," excuse me, can I ask you what makes it "IN FACT" so important? Important for the history of rock? Important for the history of mainstream music? Important for sales charts?

That'll be the day when I Die...
