| I'm
back from my holidays time (always too short !!) with the terrible
images coming from London always in my mind. Since the most "progressive"
Intelligence (the british one) has been avoided, nobody can tell
to live his life in security. Bush and Blair told us both the
Afghanistan and Iraq invasions were necessary to stop terrorism
and live without a daily fear. I can't count all the bombs, the
criminal acts and the deads we have been experiencing since the
beginning of the invasions, but I know they're more than ever.
Who's next ? This is the disquieting question many people's asking
himself ........ Some news and five cd reviews for you. Enjoy
your "unsecured" stay !! |

Hi
there, I should have posted my personal top ten 2004 but I couldn't
keep the promise. Why? Because I'm still going to listen to some
interesting outings of last year and, among them, there could
be the one (ones) deserving to be included. I'm sorry for the
delay. Next update, for sure. Anyway, read
the 10 favs from an american visitor and four new cd reviews.
Enjoy your stay. Luca
