Gian Pieretti - Pietre
But here is the Italian horror, that is, how to poorly reinterpret a Bob Dylan song. We are at the Sanremo festival, edition 1967 (tragically famous for Tenco's suicide), and by the hand of Ricky Gianco here is "Pietre," inspired by "Rainy Day Women" by Dylan. Now it is true that correctly specifying in Italian the chorus "Everybody must get stoned" could have generated problems with censorship regarding the use of drugs, but talking generically about stones to always take is not enough to classify the song as a "protest song"(?). And then it is worth noting the utterly unconvincing demeanor of Gian Pieretti, who takes the stage with the same conviction as someone clocking in at work and nothing more. How sad!
