Propongo al caro Ubba un momentaneo armistizio musicale per dedicarci a due comuni passionacce. Ne abbiamo parlato spesso ma mi è ancora oscuro il tuo giudizio su alcuni dischi. Suvvia, i voti. Naturalmente l'invito è esteso a tutti gli estimatori dell'uomo peggio vestito al mondo e del nano più nano dell'universo
