Io Andy l'ho apprezzato molto. Certo non ha avuto una vita semplicissima a quanto racconta. Non li conoscevo un granché, ma hanno il seal of approval di Steven Wilson e tanto mi basta.

Quanta fighezza in una sola foto (gennaio '83, la notte nella quale Bowie resuscitò la carriera di Tina Turner appena fuggita dal marito e per questo finita nella blacklist dello showbiz)
"After she escaped Ike Turner, Tina Turner was written off by the whole music business. She was a Black woman in her 40s. It was time for the oldies circuit.
"The night that changed her life was in NYC, January 1983. David Bowie was having dinner with his new record label, right before Let's Dance came out, getting wined and dined, but he informed them he had plans for the night: He was going to see Tina Turner live. He wouldn't dream of missing her. He dragged everyone along
with him. Her manager Roger Davies got a last-minute call, asking for 63 spots on the guest list. 'My Cinderella moment,' she called it in her book. 'That night at the Ritz was the equivalent of going to the ball (minus the part about Prince Charming) because it changed my life dramatically.'
"After the show, she raised hell all night with Bowie, Keith Richards and Ron Wood, sitting around the hotel piano, singing Motown classics, guzzling Dom Perignon. They posed for one of the coolest rock photos of all time: Tina, Keith and Bowie all drinking from the same bottle of Jack Daniels. She was a rock star now, forever. Her story was just beginning."

una cosa che non consideravo, sentita ieri alla radio, è che lei aveva avuto successo già nel 1962, subito prima di Dylan e dei Beatles

GIAO, pare che domani, se non ci saranno imprevisti dell'ultimo secondo, sarò in quel di Lucca per il concerto di Ed Sheeran. Il posto è "Mura di Lucca - Viale Carducci", prato A. Ovviamente (NON) mi sono mosso per tempo e non ho trovato parcheggi prenotabili (se non a "Polo Fiere" con navetta). Qualcuno pratico della zona mi può suggerire dove ho speranze di trovare posto (o se ha senso andare al Polo Fiere) ?

On ''Infidels,'' Mr. Dylan has again caught the mood of the times, but the songs don't stand for anything; they merely certify today's doom and gloom malaise in a tone of smug agreement. ''Infidels'' isn't so much a warning of impending doom as a gleeful announcement that the end is indeed near. It implies that the world isn't worth saving and that America is leading the way to hell.
It is as though the Dylan of the 1960's returned for one last time to thumb his nose and gloat, ''I told you so - now let's get the whole thing over with.''

e comunque non sono d'accordo, secondo me Infidels visto con il senno di poi è un grande album. sicuramente assai diverso dal primo periodo e pure dalla trilogia "cristiana" del secondo, ma resta un album suonato e registrato magnificamente, con musicisti eccezionali, e pure i testi delle canzoni di Dylan, letti a distanza, hanno un senso. eccome se ce l'hanno. certo negli States in pieno delirio reaganiano erano troppo controcorrente per poter essere apprezzati, pure da dei critici asseritamente non allineati come quelli che scrivevano per il NYT.

You know, capitalism is above the law / Democracy don't rule the world / You better get that in your head / This world is ruled by violence / But I guess that's better left unsaid / From Broadway to the Milky Way / That's a lot of territory indeed / And a man's gonna do what he has to do / When he's got a hungry mouth to feed / Well, it' sundown on the union / And what's made in the USA / Sure was a good idea / 'Til greed got in the way... https://www.youtube.com/w...

They say that, "Patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings"
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king
There's only one step down from here, baby
It's called the land of permanent bliss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? https://www.youtube.com/w...
Merita anche il mix di William Orbit dallo stesso disco del remix di Kevorkian (in offerta tre remix al prezzo di uno): https://youtu.be/V54QeIER... -
