Paolo Conte - Dancing
Yes, I am increasingly distracted and also more alone and fake, and the restlessness and the bows turn me into an orangutan moving with the grace of someone who isn’t convinced that the rumba is just a joy of the tango.

LUCIO BATTISTI - L'APPARENZA
And suddenly you shake this scene in drops, acting fierce with the mustache you don’t have like a puma, on your puffed cheeks you play the precocious one who unleashes a great volume of incendiary languor, thus you become the opponent of an airy colossus boxer, then you murmur indecencies without words to a confessor, you push him away in a sequence of pursuit, slide onto the balcony, dodge sideways, scout if the precipitate has hit the target, you re-enter with thunderous horses and dolphin jumps among the storms.

Claudio Lolli - Tutte le lingue del mondo
We, unbalanced between science and words yet still alive, with blood beating the hours at a different pace and a future memory instead of a heart, with the streets, the lights of another city different from this crossroads of winds we fell into by chance, either ahead of time or perhaps late, with the face of a great comic actor, with the face of Keaton on the day he was invited to toast to the end of silent cinema, that end which was the mistake of a foul-mouthed, irascible polyglot god.

It had been a while since I last checked the DeB, why is it no longer possible to rate artists when defining them?

The Maestro Giusto Pio has passed away. His memory remains indissolubly linked to the inimitable violin that accompanied Franco Battiato during his finest years. Franco Battiato - L'era del cinghiale bianco

Bob Dylan - I Could Have Told You (Audio)
It’s official, there will be another album of old "Sinatra-esque" standards. This time it will even be a triple album with around thirty tracks. I don’t know if anyone felt the need for it, but he’s really gotten into it now :D

Just yesterday, I had spent a good part of the afternoon re-listening to some of your magnificent works. Waking up this morning to the news of your death had a strange effect on me, alongside great sorrow. But just yesterday, while revisiting your beautiful songs, I rediscovered this gem that I had completely forgotten about, one that I had never paused to appreciate for its clear and poignant beauty.
"Do you remember when the scene began to fade, and I held you until you learned to fly? And then don’t look down, the ground is no longer there, and anyway, there’s no one waving goodbye. There’s enough light, enough light to let it go."
Dear Leonard, today "you wanted more darkness." But thank you for all the light you brought us.

Fo dies, the most discussed Nobel Prize winner, on the fringes of "literature" in its narrowest and most commonly accepted sense. On the same day, the same Nobel is awarded to Dylan, another figure from a world that only loosely connects to literature, that of song, but which has contributed to innovating that world like very few others.
On the same day.
Fo has been described as a medieval jester. Dylan, the minstrel of Duluth.
The jester and the minstrel. United by a Nobel and a date.
Bob might have called it "a simple twist of fate."
Dario, a mystery buffo.

Did anyone else see today’s episode of “Ulisse” by Alberto Angela dedicated to Canada, which featured a segment on the great Canadian figures in music/cinema/sport that, after presenting us none other than Bieber and Bublè (!), completely ignores the existence of Cohen and Mitchell?? It's scandalous.
But come on, Albertì, let’s go... you make programs of a certain level, you can’t drop the ball on these things...

We have reached the end of our #settimananelloilgiovane and I have the honor of closing the dances. I do it with one of my favorite songs of all time, which for this occasion I'd like to present in a dual version, both exceptional: an electric one taken from none other than Live Aid, and an acoustic and "bearded" version.
Neil Young - Powderfinger (BBC - Live Aid 7/13/1985)
Neil Young - Powderfinger (Live at Farmaid 1998)
"Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river..."
