"The paradox of a duel that has been going on for half a century is that the Beatles broke up in 1970 but people still go crazy when a collection or song comes out, while the Rolling Stones still have to sweat it out with concerts to keep it going".
The story made by the music critic Gino Castaldo about the two groups that shocked music in the 60s is truly captivating . A show with anecdotes and videos that takes its cue from the book “Beatles and Rolling Stones-Apollinei and Dionisiaci”.
There was even space for the gem of the Dirty Mac video, the supergroup with John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchell who participated in the 1968 Rolling Stones show then never aired and "discovered" after over 20 years.
A worthy conclusion for the third edition of the Festival Fino a Leggermi Matto , organized by the Carta da Musica association in collaboration with The Terrible Girls. The fourth evening, the final one, was hosted in Piazza Moretti.
Another cornerstone of the last appointment is the chapter dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini and music. First through the analysis of the book by Claudia Calabrese , stimulated by the questions of the composer Luigi Frassetto, then with a concert of almost an hour by the Sassari artist himself (on guitar) with string quartet, narrator (Antonio Cabras) and voice singer (Angela Colombino).
Passionate about Bach, the multifaceted artist and intellectual also acted as lyricist for songs set to music by Ennio Morricone or Piero Piccioni and interpreted by Laura Betti and Gabriella Ferri (especially those in Roman dialect), Domenico Modugno (the famous "What are the clouds") and Sergio Endrigo who adapted a poem by Pasolini into music which later became the song “Il soldier di Napoleone”.
