Nico Carlucci
manages a network of some speeches I have made this summer in the forum in which I participated. The anthropologist makes his "field research", original, full of stimuli. My actions are enriched by meeting with the participants on issues relating to the Rock of which they are a great lover. It 'was an exchange of "views" virtual, as will be delivered to the web.
I could not speak of Italy, the culture in which I live, but also the global Earth-country where I live.
The main theme of the exchange in the network are: the "death" of the rock genre, a few concerts to which I took in July, the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, the end of the "young" with the triumph of the "young" media,
U2
I write about a country, Italy, which produced the tunes in the past most beautiful, the song of poets and art as "truth" of the Absolute. Today, the model is that, unaware, ill-communist, non-invention in the arts and music. Italy "delenda est" write the anthropologists. U2 and their gospel "contemporary" re-proposed, last July, also at San Siro in a spiritual song that "kiss" the funeral of Michael Jackson.
To rob:
Rock music dies dies because the culture he had seen her birth. Internet creates the "non-places." As a consequence, the cultural model in which we live it is "informed". We are witnessing the fratumazione of time and space and thus of rock music with its sense of direction and his "dream". Myths become fragile, the gods have no more "kind". There is a vagueness that refers to the digit and how much is said about the supermodernity "which, unfortunately, sees the disappearance of the" big names "music.
About the death of Rock, I speak of a cultural model that is always A summary of traits. Noon I refer, of course, to a single cause, but to several causes. Today the art out of museums, becomes graffiti, "nowhere", running along the railway stations, metro lines. Of course, the anthropologist Marc Augé has theorized the "non-places", but in his latest book is rethinking them unless superando.La network is a sign of a kind of epistemological leap that is changing once again. The time that we live in is accelerating, not saving more as they did at the time of Myth. We are faced with new questions with the knowledge that even a change in the digital soul. Ah , it's U2, Madonna in July revived the dream in Milan, the chorus that I have called a "secular sacred". But what we have in the future?

Again Radiohead:
Yesterday, some newspapers gave the news that Radiohead will in future only single. Ends the "concept album"?
Well, it's the i-pod that makes the end, the music is downloaded from the internet that makes him stop. And back at the death of rock, the "dream" in a changing world with its sounds that become "precipitate" the model of "network".
They were not just Radiohead to promote their latest work on the Internet, through "non-places", exactly? I refer to "In Rainbows" that cost or less what he wanted to give those who sailed on the web to look for it. So skip the old economic law of supply and demand, the record company that now has no more "Ubi consistam. From genius Thom Yorke has understood well today "are" notes ", the light beams of the architecture. Some call it" panic time "(see Virilio), who" ambient ", Digital those who" new utopia " .

Intermezzo
But a Communist Italy will ever be able to love the rock? There is a bewildering provincialism in the country that proposes a neo-realism in the arts movie " dumb and out of time. But this does not happen in "Patria-world" music.

Woodstock
Yes, Woodstock invented "Youth" that existed in the past under different "bare". But today what is left? Nothing! There is a "juvenile" non-creative, stupid sponsored by the media, journalists, educators and psychologists on duty. After the rebellion of the verse, "Hey, teachers leave the kids alone" by Pink Floyd, they have come, alas, the showgirls, the girls with their "daddy", the models of the Milanese aperitif rampant. Madonna cries, in one of his songs that students violate their teachers! Do you remember what happened in "Columbine High School" which we also talked about Michael Moore in his film?
Where, then, are the "flowers" by Pete Seeger, where did they go?

What Victor says is true. The flower children are not belonged to Italy, "sin"! "Hair" is a musical "American." Italy in those years was too political, too "communist." Unfounded, the artistic creativity that we got lost because of it. Just think of all 'architecture' socialist 'in Rome with his "Corviale" true umanomostro. There, however, where the "proletarian struggle" was absent (I speak of the USA and England) were born folk, rock, pop. The protest, of course, there was a protest, however, does not party, not of "parishes", possibly linked to the Church and its speakers. I recognize the merits of some Italian singers of the 70 that expressed the aspiration of a revolt in Italy, but the Rock is something else. Speak of it, even today, the American and British music magazines that are almost always "copy" from some of the Italian ones. In the beautiful country, in fact, there are several: "Q," Mojo, "" Spin "," Rolling Stones "because, ultimately, there is rock.
