Whole Lotta Rosie

Bon is one of those people I care about so, so much, as you know.

A short but intense life… very intense… a death without realizing it… as it should be if you’re lucky…

Anyway, there are dozens of things about Bon, beyond just the music…

He entered the EISIDISI already “old”… in fact, he was about to pack it all in because the time had come… then fate intervened with a series of coincidences that only Rock’n’Roll could conjure up…

Anyway, on February 18, 1972, the Led Zeppelin were in Australia for their tour, which wasn’t particularly fortunate beyond the success. They weren’t allowed into Singapore, in Perth the crowd broke everything, and the next day in Adelaide the cops barged into the hotel looking for stuff because of a tip-off, plus a couple of terrible downpours on two other dates.

The fact is that history and legend tell us that that evening, precisely because of a postponed concert, Page and Plant went to listen to a young band from Sydney, Fraternity, at the Large Pier Hotel.

Hiding in a sort of private area, they sent someone to call that singer to have a chat… Bon, visibly drunk, told the guy to get lost. Then a roadie asked him why he hadn’t gone to see Jimmy Page and Robert Plant…

Bon ran outside screaming like a madman… but the Rolls Royce was in the distance, just pulling away… like a scene from a movie…

Pachelbel Canon en Re Mayor-RTVE (Adrian leaper) Orquesta sinfonica Navidad 2008
After the ugliness of the worst covers
The relaxing Canon in D by Pachelbel, to which so many pop singers owe a lot. And thankfully, there was no SIAE.

Wishing you a terrible night, I gift you something that might disturb your sleep: what has been called "the ugliest cover of all time" (let alone the laughable trivialities proposed by the cowardly polceverasco @[Dislocation]!)

They are "The Handsome Beasts," a metal band that had a following (and even an underground "success") between the '80s and '90s, mainly thanks to the performances of their singer Garry Dallaway (the guy on the cover). The band, as far as I know, is still active despite the fact that Garry left this world in 2006. I have had 4 or 5 of their albums in my hands, and the covers have always been of great taste.... But this one is the pinnacle (in fact, I searched for the album in question for a long time).

É l'aurora - Ivano Fossati e Oscar Prudente

Oh boy!
Who is this bassist?
It would come to mind that it's Guglielminetti.
But right now I don't feel like googling.

This was done by my friend Liliana Rusu (you'll hear more about her: she’s an extraordinary person, as well as a photographer and a Total Imperial Hottie) on the road that leads from my house to one of my favorite bars.
A couple of hours ago, I was passing right by there to go watch the National Futból (great 30-meter throw from the Nomen Omen DiMarco), and it started pouring rain.
Element - everyone knows it - that I am not quite accustomed to. Yuk!
