I tre racconti brevi intrecciano due temi inseparabili nellesperienza di ciascuno: la morte e il rapporto con i propri genitori. Nella scrittura misurata di Luigi Bernardi la quiete dei defunti contrasta con il tormento dei vivi; costretti a fare i conti con un passato invadente che ha disegnato in modo indelebile i contorni della sofferenza del presente. A liberarsi del passato; infatti; sono solo coloro che se ne vanno; lasciando a chi resta il compito pesante della rielaborazione. E le colpe dei padri ricadono sui figli.

Arson; murder and suicide and other mysteries in the entertainment capitol along with coincidental ties to the intelligence community. Sounds like Anywhere U.S.A. Actually; I did hear that if Jerry Garcia had given the word; all hell could have broken loose. Bear in mind that the majority of those who dropped out during Viet Nam were too busy smelling flowers and smoking them to get politically involved. I will admit that that could have been a conspiracy put in play by the intelligence community to keep us all complacent with drugs sex and rock and roll. The author has done a lot of research but I failed to find the smoking gun (no pun) unless it was Mr. Stills and whether or not he did serve in Viet Nam. I will admit that is a scary thought but he never did seem to me to be a stoned "peacenik". I think he was more into his music than politics and after all; isnt that how it should be. Alright; I understand that music is a potent social media that can be used to sway attitudes but really; isnt music still under the providence of the people as the people decide what they want to hear. Mr. McGowan should really have considered that aspect; it would have made for a much more interesting read. Especially as the artists themselves claim for the most part that "they dont know where their songs come from. As it is; McGowan;s book seems to get bogged down in all of his research. He constantly digresses from the points hes trying to make. Whether this is intentional or not it seems that McGowan expects the reader to draw the same conclusions that he has. He makes a strong case but the evidence in the end is all circumstantial. Or is it? I would recommend this as a read because ultimately the questions raised by McGowan are important and do need to considered and discussed. As the line from the song says; "Every thing you do think or say is in the pill you took today."1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Both Sides Now; from a different point of view.By robert korosaDavid explains so much of that time period and how controlled we actually are by people we have never met. McGowan demonstrates; with research; that there is so much more to the entertainment world than just some lucky guys and gals hitting it big by luck and Karma. He shows how an entire movement was manufactured by the mind control agents of our government. The original anti-war movement was short circuited and sidetracked with the love generation. It exposes the seedy side of the rock music genre and how savage and anti-love it became. Love the book.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Sex; Drugs; and Rock and Roll?By SageThis book was very informative and added a lot of information that is not generally known. Such as the Military-Industrial family backgrounds a lot of these people had. Seeing that from the current perspective of the total police state in which we now find ourselves; it makes more sense and is not as surprising as it would have been back then; had this become common knowledge. And that more than a few did not even know how to play their instruments (LOL)! And had to have Session Musicians sit in while albums were being made. Can never listen to them the same way again. Am sorry to say the author died of cancer about a month ago. :-(
