Interactive Poll #2 - The Poll Strikes Back

at least I think she meant it as a compliment... it was at least before she took the habit of throwing pots and pans at me when enraged as only a redheaded insatiable satantic-whorshipping material girl with a few anger issues can be..so it might have been in those first 6 months of knowing me.

so without further ado...  let's start the next one!!!

gave this some thought over the week.. and so have I.. so in addition to v.3 of this.. I'll uncover v.1 of the prog poll.  the key was.. 

KISS...   

 

[the crowd cheers]

two days nobody posted here, I don't want the game to die, that's all. 

let's not give up on this!

One of the things I always wanted to do on stage was to put on the COMPLETE ... Frankie Goes to Hollywood, although I would also use film for the backgrounds, and end up with a sort of "West Side Story" ... complete with a live band and dancers ... and offer a lot of nudity and give Micky an erection, and maybe even invite him to be in it ... so he can have some fun. 

AND, we would have to do this a la "Marat/Sade", with a fence in the front and a row of folks sitting there representing the upper class buffoons that think that stuff like this is below their bathroom moments! And they have to get upset and ... you know the rest!

As one of the folks in "Marat/Sade" says ... "we're here to give these patients ... THERAPY." (SLIGHTLY PARAPHRASED) ... and we really need to do something bombastic to get attention, and that should get a few folks in the theater with their smartphones!

And the show ... would be here to give the audience some THERAPY"!

... 

Hmmm, yes, but you have voted for Phil Ochs, one of the American songwriters most similar to Guccini, and basically famous for his lyrics.

However, the songwriters are not born in Italy, but in France and Belgium, I speak of chansonniers such as Brel, Brassens, Ferrè. The Italians De André (here in PA as Prog-related, otherwise I would post some of his songs) and Guccini took from them and from Bob Dylan, who made the first three records only with guitar, voice and harmonica, all based on the lyrics. If we think about it, Desolation Row, taken from what is considered his folk rock masterpiece, Highway 61 revisited, has ten verses, is a flood river, sung from start to finish and lasts over 10 minutes. In reality, Guccini and De Andrè have never made such a threadbare song. After all, I also chose the Song of the usual questions because of the nostalgic and classical melody, not for the text. Anyway, dear Christian, now I already have in mind a song by Guccini where the musical part and the arrangement are clearly predominant with respect to the lyrics, and I keep it in reserve for one of the next threads.
