The woman with bad luck!
Dear dinosaurs, in the latest days we heard about the death of a woman, aged 57, who was unbelievable in her life story, both funny and very tragic. She was Vanity, or Vanity 6, the first of the viragos fooled by Prince in his erotic-musical delirium. The genius of Minneapolis was really inspired by glamourous,

Life overcomes fiction
Dear Dinosaurs, today I feel like Bruce Willis in that movie where he knows a guy and finds out that the guy is he himself thirty years younger. We remembered Sanremo 1986, with Stadio ranking at last place, and we wake up today, after thirty years, with Stadio ranking as winners.

forse vuole fermarla

the magic of Sanremo is that, of course, the winner always finds great success, but very often also the last classified song turns out to be a very beautiful evergreen. It happened in 1984 with Stadio, and it happened again in 1986 with… Stadio. But this song is fantastic, an elegy.

Here we go again!
Another year, another festival of Sanremo beginning in these very days. 1986 edition was probably not the best of the 80s but indeed featured also some great songs. But tradition wants us to start from the winner, who became in those years appreciated in all Europe. And he still represents a kind of made in Italy in pop music.

The Heritage of Switzerland
I was thinking… Austria left us Falco and Opus; Netherlands, Mel and Kim, Germany Twins, Nena and many others, Norway, a-Ha… and what about Switzerland? Really nothing from Switzerland? Of course! Switzerland left us Double and their iconic, unique song!
