In August 2006, the musician Luis Alberto Spinetta spoke to reporters Mendoza, promoting the launch of his new album PAN. The talk then turned more than anything about the details of the album, though thin was also time to talk about Cro-Magnon and musician / journalist / conductor Roberto Pettinato .
turned out in May of that year, the magazine Hand (directed by Petti) published a special issue on the trajectory of the author of "Girl paper eyes." Spinetta but apparently did not like the scene in which he talked about his musical history. "The magazine's Hand was horrible. Voodoo is a press release with pictures from old sessions, like the cover. It's like a boycott, despite all the praise. When I'm not in this world made me what I want, but while I'm here, I break the balls ". These were the textual words that explained his idea about the special issue.
But the skinny went further and personalize the issue when he referred to former Supreme and another journalist in question did not identify: "Pettinato is very rude, in their programs, their ideologies, it shows . Written puts a guy who is pretending to be leftist when is a tremendous fascist, it does speak against me. Pettinato is suited, a fascist . At one point I wanted but now, after seeing what he does on TV, it seems a farabute. ". few days later the conference, more precisely on 19 March, Eduardo Fabregat published on Page 12 a note entitled "On fascists and enemies" , clearly referring to what happened at that conference, emphasis on cataloging Spinetta made on Pettinato. The note began: "Some years ago, a famous Argentine musician, rocker first line dropped a concept that was out of the interview with this newspaper. "In the Argentine rock, Charly García is left", started. "And Spinetta is right. A facho . ".
reporter also cites Page 12 film "Almost Famous" where musicians refer to reporters as "The Enemy", and this served to historicize a bit the relationship between the two parties in our country, obviously from their side of journalism. We will not play all the notes here, but is highly recommended to read the analysis ends with this sentence: "... the rock journalist dedicated to this because first of all was the love of music, as passionate as that encourages musicians. They chose the guitar and the melody, the journalist chose the keyboard and words. ".
For its part, Pettinato only be sent to answer a little skinny on the publishing of the Hand September of that year, criticizing the ego of it.
The journalist in question which Spinetta spoke at the press conference without giving his name is Paul Schanton , who also had a dispute with the skinny on the past, and will soon be posted here on this blog in a future near or far, who knows. By the way, sorry for the delay ...
