The Rogers - Tam tam (1969)

Another cover by the baronets:
John Lennon was sued for stealing the guitar riff and the phrase "Here comes old flat-top" from "You Can't Catch Me" by Chuck Berry. The lawsuit didn't come from Berry, but from Morris Levy, one of the most notorious figures in the music industry. Levy sued the Beatles, or more precisely John Lennon, over the song during the time when the Beatles were breaking up.

For years, Lennon delayed the trial as he and the Beatles tried to resolve all the legal and business issues plaguing Apple Records. Eventually, in an attempt to avoid the courtroom as much as possible, he settled with Levy. Lennon agreed to record his album Rock N Roll, which was just a series of covers, including three songs owned by Levy (including "You Can't Catch Me") in the tracklist. The deal made sense: Lennon always wanted to make a cover album, and Levy wanted the value of his songs to increase (when a Beatle re-records a song, that's exactly what happens)…

Antonello Venditti: Compagno di scuola
To those who had a dream taken away just as they began to open their eyes, only to find themselves in the blink of an eye with an empty fist, ever tighter.

Welcome to Dumpsville

In a remarkable period of "welcome back!" - I admit I wasn't feeling it anymore - I listened to, (re)discovered garage bands full of soul and passion, with, as per usual, the most diverse influences from beat to punk, from psychedelia to R&B - from rockabilly to mod, including soul and even hard rock. In short, the essence of rock'n'roll from true beasts to the wild scream of "screw your virtuosic and lightning-fast scales and your four octaves of fucking vocal range." Since 1990 and onward, with a few revivals of old geezers, savansadir.

I could write an editorial for the #sceltidaiside series, but nobody really cares (or almost). "The ‘poor black person’ is good and soothes the conscience through the ‘inclusive and anti-racist’ charitable works of the white Italic man as long as he is washing dishes or cleaning, that is, staying in his place and not aspiring to improve his social condition. But if the black person, thanks to the genius that Nature, fortunately, dispenses randomly and without distinction of sex or skin color, becomes a chef, a leader, becomes better than me or my son, then that is no longer acceptable. It becomes, indeed, too much." If you don't know the story Succede ad Agrigento, ristorante Ginger People & Food. Razzismo di due clienti. Gli ha risposto il proprietario con una lettera bellissima - Quotidiano dei Contribuenti a song that fits perfectly Fabio Concato Zio Tom
