No, such a comparing is principally due to the impact that Ligabue has on his wide audience and to the way in which his fans strongly identify with his songs. Authenticity, sweat, and electrical guitars: these ar the ingredients of a formula that, with very small changes during the eld, possess made him one of the nearly successful Italian bikers of the last deuce decades, second only to Vasco Rossi. Born in Correggio, non far from Reggio Emilia, on the 13th of March, 1960, Luciano Ligabue had diverse work experiences during his pre-rock long time, including fieldhand, blue-collar worker, salesman, city councilman, and DJ.

Thanks to the vast winner of singles such as "Certe Notti" and "Vivo Morto o X," it sold more than one trillion copies, leftover on the Italian charts for 70 weeks. In 1997 deuce dates at Milan's San Siro arena (with a tot up of 110,000 mass attendance) confirmed his position as one of Italy's reliable rock stars. In the same year Ligabue promulgated his number 1 koran, a collection of short stories called Fuori e Dentro il Borgo, and the live track record Su e Giù da un Palco, spell in 1998 he directed his number one picture, Radiofreccia (for which he north Korean won the David di Donatello and the Nastro d'Argento awards for Best New Director) and composed its soundtrack.

The 2003 theatrical spell in which Ligabue was backed by PFM's Mauro Pagani and Almamegretta's sound manipulator Stefano "D.Radian" Facchielli was documented by the live album Giro d'Italia.

CROSBY STILLS NASH & YOUNG
�CSNY: Deja Vu,� the documentary film about Crosby Stills Nash & Young�s recent, highly politicized Freedom of Speech hitch, does a good problem of capturing the ripening quartet�s conclusion to inject �60s-style anti-war activism into the twenty-first century concert scene. What it doesn�t do is show uncut performances from the tour of duty. That skip is remedied by this 16-cut live �soundtrack,� which is split between fan favorites and songs from Young�s fiercely anti-Bush �Living With War� record album. In the film, certain fans ar enraged by such Young ditties as �Impeach the President�; music critics may dislike them, too, merely for completely different reasons. Despite the passion of the lyrics, Young�s musically undernourished new songs make him sound more like a cheerleader than a rock �n� roll great. Download: �Deja Vu.�

Fun and games among most-watched shows on broadcast networks
NEW YORK - Broadcast networks are the place to be for prime-time competitions - if little else.
Nine of the 20 most-watched programs on the networks last week involved some sort of game, from the Boston Celtics clinching the National Basketball Association title to the eager guys seeking a date on "The Bachelorette," according to Nielsen Media Research. ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are heading into their slowest weeks of the year.
NBC's "America's Got Talent" opened a new season with 12.8 million viewers, by far the most popular prime-time show after the Celtics-Lakers. The talent competition and "Deal or No Deal" enabled NBC to claim the status of No. 1 network for the first time since the first week of the year.
Disney's rollout of the new kids' movie "Camp Rock" was the week's biggest event, shown to a total of 16.1 million people over three networks on three nights.
More people watched "Camp Rock" on its Disney Channel debut Friday (8.9 million) than the 3.7 million who watched on ABC Family Sunday. The smallest audience, 3.5 million, was on ABC Saturday - illustrating how the distinction between broadcast and cable networks mean little to young viewers.
Illustrating ABC's problems in getting viewers to watch its reruns, last week's "Grey's Anatomy" airing reached 3.2 million people, a smaller audience than 14 programs that aired on Univision. ABC's "Desperate Housewives" had virtually the same size audience as Univision's "Amas Casa Desperados."
For the week, NBC averaged 6.5 million viewers (4.2 rating, 7 share). CBS had 6.4 million viewers (4.3, 8), Fox 6.1 million (3.8, 7), ABC 5.4 million (3.6, 6) and the CW 1.7 million (1.1, 2).
A ratings point represents 1,128,000 households, or one per cent of the estimated 112.8 million TV homes in the U.S. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of June 16-22, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NBA Finals, Game 6: L.A. Lakers vs. Boston, ABC, 16.88 million; "America's Got Talent," NBC, 12.78 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 9.1 million; "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 8.95 million; "So You Think You Can Dance" (Thursday), Fox, 8.87 million; "So You Think You Can Dance" (Wednesday), Fox, 8.86 million; "Deal or No Deal" (Tuesday), NBC, 8.72 million; "House," Fox, 8.63 million; "Deal or No Deal" (Wednesday), NBC, 8.34 million; "Hell's Kitchen," Fox, 8.25 million.

Madonna Gets Her Way -- As Usual -- In 1994, In The Loder Files
November of 1994 was cold, damp and windy up in Ronda, a fairly ancient town perched on a mountain cliff in the south of Spain. Madonna had gone there to shoot a video for "Take a Bow," her next single, so we, of course, dutifully followed. Ronda is promoted to tourists as the birthplace of modern bullfighting — meaning it was there, around 200 years earlier, that some brave/insane matador had decided to climb down from the relative safety of horseback to do battle with a bull face to face (or horn-to-groin, just as likely). "Take a Bow," the song, had nothing to do with bullfighting, but in the world of music videos this was a fact of gnat-like insignificance.
Madonna and her crew (which included cinematographer Harris Savides, who went on to shoot "American Gangster") set up in Ronda's old stone bullring, with Maddy's friend Donatella Versace, the fashion personage, flitting around up in the gallery. Congregated in a street outside the ring was a troupe of bullfighting pros — picadors, banderilleros, and so forth — who were awaiting the arrival of Madonna's video costar, the dark and sultry Emilio Muñoz, an actual, well-known torero. The sun had come out, and the afternoon proceeded in the usual way. Madonna, looking very 1940s in a little black-veiled hat (she was lobbying for the lead role in the movie version of the hit musical "Evita" at the time), was situated in a seat looking down on the dusty ring, where Muñoz twirled about, baffling a bovine opponent with his shiny cape. She was playing the role of a woman who'd been dumped by this guy, and was now blinking away tears of heartbreak. Since tears and heartbreak were two commodities rarely associated with Madonna, it had been decided to intersperse the video with other scenes showing her writhing around on a bed in her underwear. That was more like it.
Our interview later on proceeded in the usual way as well. Our own camera crew spent hours setting up a flattering shot on the edge of a courtyard garden in a beautiful old building filled with gleaming carved wood and weathered brick. Then Madonna arrived — well past the appointed time, as usual — and marched straight up to the cameras to check the out the angles and the lighting, which, as usual, she found to be wanting. After much scurrying about, everything was adjusted to ... well, not to her satisfaction, probably, but to a point where she was willing to put up with it without feeling compelled to punch anybody.
She was wearing some beautiful outfit — I forget exactly what it consisted of, but it looked great on the monitors. Then, however, she pronounced herself chilly, and suddenly pulled on a nondescript white sweater that obliterated the look we'd been hoping to capture. For good measure, she also flopped a fur lap robe over her legs, completing the impression of a person being nursed back to health following some frigid Arctic mishap. She then began talking about her family, her voice, and her then-trashy image while we blinked away tears of professional heartbreak.
