    Non un sovversivo, ma certamente un precursore…

      Lui era un visionario; sapeva leggere la realtà per quella che era. Era un artista, era libero e con anni di esperienza e una gavetta vera, sapeva comunicare. Tutta roba che oggi non si vede più, o molto raramente. Le idee possono anche essere valide, ma se non si sanno esprimere, se non si riesce a passarle, è come se non esistessero. E urlare, tanto per urlare, serve solo a fomentare il caos e a nutrire quelli che gongolano, quando vedono che il caos sono riusciti a crearlo. Nella confusione, nessuno sa pensare, e seguire il gregge solo di pancia, serve a finire nei burroni, non a risolvere problemi.

        “Nella confusione nessuno sa pensare, e seguire il gregge solo di pancia serve a finire nei burroni, non a risolvere problemi.” Non vale solo per la musica purtroppo.

        Non parlavo di musica. 🙂 Nemmeno lui parla solo di musica. 😉

    He reminds me a bit in appearance of a young Tony Bennet, but he has a very different singing style. I would almost describe it as carefree. Thanks for sharing Luisa. Allan

      I’ll leave you the translation, even if it certainly has some gross errors, but just to make you understand the meaning of the song, Allan. 🙂
      I am a new man
      So new that it’s been a long time
      That I’m not even a fascist anymore
      I am sensitive and selfless orientalist
      And I’ve been a bit of a sixty-eightist in the past
      Environmentalist for some time
      A few years ago in the euphoria I felt
      As a bit ‘all socialist
      I am a new man
      Honestly, I mean it literally
      I’m progressive
      At the same time liberal anti-racist
      And I am very good I am animal rights
      I am no longer an aid worker
      I’ve been a bit against the tide lately
      I am a federalist
      The conformist
      He’s usually always on the right side
      The conformist
      He has all the answers pretty clear inside his head
      It is a concentrate of opinions
      Holding two or three newspapers under his arm
      And when he wants to think he thinks from hearsay
      Perhaps as a good opportunist
      It adapts without noticing it
      And he lives in his paradise
      The conformist
      He is a well-rounded man who moves
      Without consistency the conformist
      He trains himself to slip into the sea of ​​the majority
      It is a very common animal
      Who lives on conversational words
      At night he dreams and the dreams of other dreamers come out
      The day explodes its party
      Which is being at peace with the world
      And float off the conformist
      The conformist
      I am a new man
      And I have an extraordinary relationship with women
      I am feminist
      I am available and optimistic pro-European
      I never raise my voice I’m a pacifist
      I was a Marxist-Leninist
      And after a while I don’t know why I found myself
      Catholic communist
      The conformist
      He didn’t quite understand that the conformist bounces better than a ball
      Advanced aerostat that is inflated by information
      It is the result of a species
      Which always flies low on the surface
      Then he touches the world with a finger and feels accomplished
      He lives and this is already enough for him
      And I have to say by now
      The conformist looks a lot like all of us
      The conformist
      I am a new man
      So new that you can see it at first sight
      I’m the new conformist

    Thanks for the context Elena. I thought it was something like that. Conforming for conformity sake is seldom a good thing. Thanks. Allan
