for one another all this however without indulging in sentimentalism or presenting a manichean worldview but always with strength and simplicity and with a grain of folly who could ever forget his legendary television monologues with his lunatic and buster keatonesque ecstatic pauses prominent film directors such as ermanno olmi federico fellini who asked him to play himself in la dolce vita and pier paolo pasolini were fascinated by his free thinking attitude and independent spirit and saw in him a poetic and at the same time a down to earth representative of traditional values and aspirations in the face of a tumultuous period of huge social and economic change needless to say as a result of the rapid modernization and industrialization of the country a huge urban sprawl which dramatically changed the face of italy s cities and towns took place in the 1950s and the 1960s definitely against the tide and somewhat prophetically at the time adriano spoke out against the cement tsunami and the consequent loss of identity and traditional ways of life the autobiographical il ragazzo della via gluck became his manifesto against unsustainable development the following is a literal translation from the original which is quite different from the above mentioned tar and cement by american songwriters lee pockriss and paul vance the boy from gluck street this is the story of one of us who was also born by chance in gluck street in a house outside the city quiet people who worked where there was grass there is now a city and that house amid the green now where may it be this kid from gluck street enjoyed playing with me but one day he said i m going to the city and he said while weeping i asked him friend aren t you glad you re finally going to live in the city there you will find the things that you didn t have here you can wash at home without going down in the yard my dear friend he said i was born here and in this street now i m leaving my heart but how can t you understand it s lucky for you who remain barefoot to play in the fields while there downtown i ll breathe concrete but there will come a day when i ll come back here and i will hear the friendly train whistling like this ua ua the years go by but eight are long but that kid has come a long way but doesn t forget his first home now with the money he can buy it he comes back and doesn t find the friends he had only houses upon houses tar and concrete where there was grass there is now a city and that house amid the green now where may it be i don t know i don t know why they go on building houses and don t let the grass don t let the grass and don t let the grass don t let the grass and no if we go on like this i wonder how we will do who knows who knows how we will do all in all besides being by far my favorite italian singer i ve always had the utmost respect for adriano celentano as a person and i m pleased to pay tribute to him with this post to conclude this in my opinion is his core message in a nutshell in his own words and in his typically imaginative style what we are losing is the utopian dimension of life sometimes i say things that seem impossible to achieve and yet there are many things that seemed impossible at one time but they are very real today my concern is that if we lose our belief in utopia the world will get worse and worse today we live longer than in the past the quality of life has improved we have medicine that saves lives but still the world is headed for disaster because we have abandoned our past to climb higher and higher but if you climb a very tall ladder and then cannot climb down again you cannot save beautiful things the lack of beauty is a problem the key to the future is beauty there are not only skyscrapers we are a part of nature there are helicopters but there are no meadows rockpolitik in italian translation mine edited by m ciotta bompiani 2006 as is more than evident from the above quoted passage celentano s utopianism is one of its own kind and his utopia is a back to the future one rather than a traditional one after all unlike most of his fellow italian artists he has never been sympathetic to leftists nor has he never hidden his deep christian faith and beliefs in other words he is a true contrarian and i thank him for that posted by s r piccoli a 6 01 pm no comments email this blogthis

also know that today the amount of misinformation that is spread on the web is staggering bogus stories can reach more people more quickly via social networks and websites than what good old fashioned viral emails could accomplish in years past the hot topics for such misinformation especially in the u s are politics government policies religion and various scams and hoaxes that s why fact check websites such as snopes com factcheck org hoax slayer com etc have taken up the task of spreading awareness against rumors by presenting evidence and hard facts in other words they monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major political players in the form of tv ads debates speeches interviews and news releases as in the case of factcheck org for instance their goal is in their own words to be a nonpartisan nonprofit consumer advocate for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in u s politics by applying the best practices of both journalism and scholarship and thus increasing public knowledge and understanding arguably this does not apply in the same degree to all of them but that s roughly how they like to present themselves to the public with that being said as an introduction let me relate a personal experience which is both significant and emblematic a few days ago last friday to be precise yournewswire a news website i didn t know existed until then published an article asserting that sebastian kurz the newly elected austrian chancellor has informed george soros the speculator turned philanthropist that his open society foundation has 28 days to cease and desist operations in austria or face legal action for attempting to undermine the democracy of the nation according to the above mentioned source 31 year old sebastian kurz austria s youngest ever leader has told colleagues that action must be taken immediately after news broke that george soros has donated 18 billion of his 24 billion dollar fortune to his open society foundation needless to say this is the kind of news i like to read share that s why at first i couldn t hold back my virtual tears of joy and appreciation but after a few moments i took back control of my emotions ok let s check it out and get some more information first i said to myself in fact rule number one is ensure that the story is written by a source that you trust with a reputation for accuracy and if the story comes from an unfamiliar organization then check their about section to learn more that s exactly what i wanted to do but couldn t in fact there s no about section on the site but i didn t give up as a second step i searched the web in multiple languages far and wide high and low the golden rule being that if no other news source is reporting the same story it may indicate that the story is false while if the story is reported by multiple sources you trust it s more likely to be true but didn t find a thing nothing except a couple of other websites both of them quoting yournewswire as their only source which is very strange in the face of an objectively relevant event without ifs and buts of course provided that it really happened but in return i found a website called media matters for america claiming that fake news purveyor yournewswire is pushing a false narrative on its site and affiliated facebook verified page asserting that sebastian kurz has banned george soros s foundations from austria as a consequence i searched the web in order to find more info about whether yournewswire is a fake news website or not the result of the investigation was that it is highly probable that things are the way media matters says they are at the same time i learned that according to breitbart news network media matters for america is a george soros funded progressive activist organization now what are we to make of that what are we to think well i personally think that the news about sebastian kurz s decision regarding george soros open society foundation is most likely fake and this not only and not so much because of what yournewswire is or seems to be but rather because of the lack of objective evidence and or of other sources attesting to the facts asserted in the story in other words because the whole thing is self referential paradoxically even if the story were proved true yournewswire s reputation would continue to remain very low ps fake news what s the best way to deal with it here are a number of suggestions for further reading how to spot fake news 10 ways to spot a fake news story what is fake news how to spot it and what you can do to stop it fake news what s the best way to tame the beast update october 27 2017 did austria s sebastian kurz ban george soros organization that s fake news the fake story goes on to quote kurz describing soros as a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity relentlessly jamming his blood funnel into anything that smells like money language identical to a 2010 rolling stone piece about goldman sachs by matt taibbi besides soros massive donation and kurz s young leader status he s 31 this story is complete bogus open society foundations an organization with efforts in different countries all over the world has no offices in austria and therefore nothing to cease and desist we couldn t find any record of kurz describing soros in that light or commenting on osf update november 3 2017 i just came across yet another fake news by yournewswire this time they reported that hollywood icon morgan freeman stated that the best way to restore public faith in government institutions is to send hillary to prison and that unless the former first lady s crimes are seen to be punished everyday americans will forever know deep down that there is one law for those with money and power and another for the rest of us and this is what snopes com has to say about the article this is not a genuine quote from morgan freeman yournewswire com is a particularly vicious fake news blog that has a long history of publishing corrosive misinformation the site claims that the actor made this comment while promoting his new documentary series the story of us during an event in new york but naturally provided no video from the event containing morgan s alleged remarks as none exists furthermore the story of us premiere was held on 28 september 2017 more than a month before your news wire published this article it is possible that freeman held additional promotional events although it would be odd for the press tour to continue long after the premiere but we could not find any news articles regarding a promotional event in new york for the series near this article s publication date it is also unlikely that freeman would ever suggest the idea that president donald trump should imprison hillary clinton the actor openly supported of the democratic candidate and even narrated several political ads for clinton update november 9 2017 i just became aware of a may 16 2016 tweet from glenn beck s twitter account in which he made reference to a position statement by the american col...
