Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You In The End R.I.P.
When they told him that Kurt Cobain was a fan of his, he asked, "who is that?" And he truly didn't know who he was. But so many loved him, from Bowie to Tom Waits, from the usual Sonic Youth to the Butthole Surfers, and Jad Fair who made an album with him, and Mark Linkous who, on the other hand, produced another one for him (and arranged it divinely) and so many, many others. Not bad for someone who - raised on the Bible, the Beatles, and Captain America - composed his first songs in his garage at home with a guitar and a toy organ and recorded them on an old, cheap tape recorder just to give them away or trade them for some comics.
This was before Laura shattered his heart.
But it's not Laura's fault; his mind was already sick. He spent his whole life sitting on the edge of the abyss. Desperate and joyful as a child can be. Burdensome as only an adult can be. Bulimic, more than twenty-four records, features, tributes, and even music for a ballet!
And today, as his drawings are exhibited in art galleries and his records are cherished by those who know and love him, he lives (now over fifty) with his parents and, perhaps, he doesn't even care. After all, he was only happy when selling popcorn at a carnival.
And now he's gone, and who knows if he had time to look back...

Sergio Endrigo - Teresa I don't think I'll ever thank Pietrangeli enough for making me "discover" Endrigo.
 
ACDC - Whole Lotta Rosie 1977 (BBC Sight and Sound)
Bon Scott and Whole Lotta Rosie... how much I love this guy.

1972 Sydney - Australian tour of the Zeppelins...
Bon is playing in a venue with Fraternity.

ā€œHey Bon, there are two guys at the table who want to talk to you?!ā€
ā€œWho the hell are they?!ā€
ā€œI don't know, Bon, just two guys... they seem cool.ā€
ā€œLet them wait, I'm drinking and laughing with my friendsā€...

ā€œWhere are they?! What’s all this noise?ā€
ā€œBon, it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, but people recognized them and they left.ā€

And so, the legends of Rock say that Bon shot out of the venue, yelling to stop, maybe behind the Rolls Royce that was taking away Page and Robert.

But the Eisidisì instead of that boiled Ascello Rose to replace Brian Johnson, couldn't they hire this handsome man with a beautiful voice and wonderful caddozzone* hair?

When the Levee Breaks (Remastered) But how many times do they have to do the "Remaster" of Led Zeppelin? I was in middle school when I already bought a "Remasters", then the cardboard CDs were remasters, then that red one with the Airship... and now the Negative covers? It’s not like it really changes anything from the cardboard, MAYBE there’s a tiny bit more reverb in this one, but I wouldn't bet a 50 cent on it.
