Herpes Blisters On Chest

Wednesday, April 16: Mark Knopfler at Mantua Palabam


Almost sold out for one of the few Italian dates of the former leader of Dire Straits.

The leopard can not change its spots, thank goodness!

Given that the only final hat-trick, made Brothers in Arms, So Far Away and Going Home (the latter ia m song ever), alone was worth the ticket price, everything else is fat that runs. " The set list contained a total of 18 pieces, many of whom among them being rearranged and Sailing to Philadelphia, Cannibals, What It Is, True Love Will Never Fade, Why Aye Man, Romeo and Juliet (near Verona is not due .... so far), Sultans of Swing Telegraph R oad, the latter played masterful levels of Alchemy, which is certainly not little.

Certainly, a focus on quality at the expense of quantity, but the lack of "classics" such as Money for Nothing and Walk of life is, in my opinion, almost gone in the second plan.

The imperfections of the whole band, including two veterans who were the good old days (the versatile drummer Danny Cummings and Guy Fletcher) have a solid basis for the sound of Knopfler, capable of giving as usual sound clear and clean. He started at 21 cracked, betraying the impatience of a boy and giving almost 2 hours non-stop poetry.

impressive performance on the violin by John McCusker, a monster more than a musician.

Two gems worthy of note: before the concert, the red and white fender was on display on stage illuminated by a light almost ethereal: the evening began auspiciously. In fact, towards the end of the concert, the circular support of lights lifts and slopes, from horizontal to vertical (a bit Pink Floyd-style to tell the truth) and revealing the motiv or central metal and eternal National Style O, the perfect setting to project colored light games, while Mark Knopfler enjoyed to dazzle the audience using the guitar as a mirror.

VOTE 10/10 (maybe I'm biased, but Gio is that Fernando is the same view)

Cruising Spots In South Beach

A system with no limits


[...] A civilization that seeks to abolish the limit is lost, not only because it does not recognize the ecological and social boundaries of his adventure, but because people lose the sense that the limit can only attribute. And 'what is lacking nell'insensatezza growth, generating instability and aggression endemic. [...]

technical progress is not the cause of the loss of ends, but his enslavement capitalist accumulation. That synthesis of technical and market that was the secret of the triumph of capitalism it is now in jail. It is true that the technique requires to do all that is feasible. It requires to do all that is profitable. The problem, then, is not to escape the technique, but to steal the technology to market, putting it at the service of knowledge. In this sense, the ecological balance of having economic growth arrest, sterile and self-destructive, is the prerequisite of a transcendent humanism understood the existential development of the human species.

EXPO 'MILAN 2015


Finally a good news ... I have followed with great interest the day yesterday that ended in heart- with the award in Milan Expo 2015, after a series of twists on the final outcome of the vote.
Milan won the nomination to host the World Expo 2015 edition with 86 votes against the 65 went to the Turkish city of Izmir.
A brilliant result from that the 'Italian system' both celebrated today, whose excellence on this occasion seems to have been fully recognized and appreciated internationally. Almost
news out of place, a discordant note in the field, and the mass media we are accustomed: the bombastic and boring election campaign, an atmosphere of inevitable and impending general economic downturn, the spectrum of the fourth week when no Italian middle-class seems more arrive, the destruction of Alitalia and the 'sale' of Malpensa, the image is still present and alive in the mountains of waste in Naples
... And this has been and remains the dominant Italy, one in which the Italians are identified and recognized, in a total resignation and acceptance of this situation.
I support the hope that this precious opportunity will not turn into the usual 'binge' to Italy but in an effective manner because of socio-political and economic revival to a nation weary, disillusioned, and deprived of any future hope.
We hope that this is not only a beautiful sound and 'April fish' ... ....

Iron Man, from comics to cinema

After watching this Sunday, The Kite Runner (I recommend the film but obviously those who have read the book will have some surprises) way to a generally much softer. . although in this case the word "soft" I could not just use it. :-) Today we talk about
