In fact.

"il Sogno" means "the dream"

"the shark" would be "lo squalo".

What would you most like to hear from McCartney? I'll tell you, something that I would love to hear more than anything else, but it would probably never happen, is Paul doing Lennon's songs. I can't imagine anything more fricking strange than hearing Paul do Strawberry Fields Forever live. Fuck the...

first of all, I can't stand Plaboy to a Man, most of GCW. I like the demo versions of PTC better than the album. Chewing Gum and Pads,Paws and Claws are forgetable in Spike. I never really liked Moods for Moderns. Now I can't believe nobody has yet come out in defense of The Juliet Letters, that al...

Lipstick Vogue may very well be my absolute favorite. My least favorite: selections from the Juliet letters. If I have to think about a "solid" Costellian masterpiece, that time cannot swept away, and that has objective substantial features, then "Lipstick Vogue" is probably the...

He played You Ain't Goin' Nowhere and Knockin' On Heaven's Door with Roger McGuinn in Italy (plus So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star).

And I Shall Be Released with Robbie Robertson in front of half million people, also.

Oh, I was disappointed when I first listened to it back in 2002... and I still am.

Hey ho, Gillibeanz, it seems that in your list King Of Thieves appears twice while there isn't any trace of The Element Within Her.

Uh, uh - my favourite song of the album at the 14th spot - "wonderful".
