BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES

"BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey–ultimately, the promise that the future holds–are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating" from the BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES official website

..."you can be the best...you can be what you wanna be. that's right, you can do what you wanna do. I'm a blues player. I've never been a millionaire, but lemme tell you something: I think I am. I don't care if you believe me man, but I know you do, because this is what it's all about. if anything you wanna do you love it...you're rich. You're millionaire, man."

Easy Taser

23-year-old Johnathan Fredrick Felch, of San Luis Obispo, was arrested around 7:15 p.m. on April 17 2009 at the Empire Polo Fields on suspicion of being drunk in public and resisting arrest. The man, thought "intoxicated and belligerent" by the Indio Police Officers was naked-walking around in the Coachella Festival. As he didn't want to put on his clothes, the police wrestled him to the ground and tasered him multiple times.The crowd, who didn't seem to mind the naked wizard, booed the police.

Indio Police Department spokesman Ben Guitron said later that "that was the best way to subdue him and take him" and that he did not initially detail the incident to the media because he did not think it was "significant."

I grew up told that Police is elected to citizens' protection, I guess we have to be happy that those Police Officers arrived in time to strictly stop that man before he could hurt someone..exactly as they arrived right in time to stop this student from talking and asking too much...

so what I would really like to know now is WHERE IS THE BORDER BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG?

WHERE IS THE BORDER BETWEEN DEFENSE AND ATTACK?

Models, soubrettes, tv and gossip's stars next Italian Members of the European Parliament

Mr.Berlusconi is filling the new List of Members for the European Parliament...

"I want new young faces to show Europe a new fresh image of PDL". That's what Italian Prime Minister Mr. Silvio Berlusconi said just a few months after he announced that Europe needed highly proficient technicians. In order to that he started to deeply an seriously search for the best candidates he could find: models, tv actresses, gossip's stars and soubrettes.

But to honour the truth we have to precise that our new fresh heroes are actually not exactly new to politics...one example between many, Angela Sozio, started her interest in politics at least two years ago, when she liked long by hand-walkings with the actual Prime Minister Mr.Silvio Berlusconi.

To be sure that these long term educated professionals will be the right answer to European Parliament's needs, Mr. Berlusconi decided that a very short but intense seminar could be enough to become highly proficient in "political matters".

Teachers have been recruited to help the new cute faces going over their clubs/tv/gossip knowledge and experience through the new unexpected strange world of politics.

The lucky new Members of Parliament will have a 35000 euros/month stipend, the highest rate that any Member from any european Country can earn...pretty funny if we think that Italy is one of the countries with the highest debt: 1,7billions of euros.

Will our hero be able to save Europe?Stay tuned and you'll discover it!!

...something too often forgotten

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS(1948) (article 19)
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 December 1948 and provides human rights standards accepted by all member states. The UDHR represents the normative basis that led to formulating the standards for freedom expression. Article 19 states that
“Everyone has the right to the freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”.

EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS (1950) (article 10)
Freedom of expression is protected by article 10 of the European Convention and has been the subject of a relatively large number of cases before the court. The European Court of Human Rights has promoted the free flow of information and ideas, established important precedents which limit state powers to restrict freedom of expression, particularly in the areas of press and broadcasting freedom, political expression, defamation, privacy, national security and demonstrations. Some decisions of the court however have been widely criticised for failing to uphold the right to freedom of expression. and resettlement, whatever the origin and nature of their disability."
