Immagine in controluce di un sassofonista con bombetta sullo sfondo di un tramonto. Nella filosofia di vita rock stoica per la cura di sé le canzoni sono spunti per riflessioni, intuizioni e illuminazioni. La musica rock è una filosofia di vita.

Canzoni

La filosofia di vita rock schizza fuori da una gran quantità di brani musicali. Sono tantissimi, ma – per noi – mai troppi. Tanti altri ne arriveranno in futuro. Perché il rock (quello verace) è sempre assai più d’un genere musicale: è un modo di affrontare e intendere l’esistenza quotidiana. La musica rock è una filosofia di vita. Spregiudicata, irriverente, disinvolta. Certamente con limiti e difetti, ma viva, dinamica, produttiva.
