Che cos'è questo libro? Un romanzo? Una storia d'amore? La favola dell'amicizia? Un sogno? Senza dubbio una delle opere più creative che siano mai state scritte in Italia. Seguendo i suoi idoli Calvino e Céline, il grande Don Backy, tra i più noti cantautori della musica italiana, mandò nel 1967 il suo scritto a Feltrinelli e lo stesso Giangiacomo dopo aver valutato il manoscritto dichiarò "Fantastico. Lo pubblichiamo così com'è... senza cambiare una virgola...".

And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around.

The Moog's gamechanging sounds saturated sixties counterculture and burst into the disco party in the seventies to set off the electronic dance music movement. Bob had singlehandedly founded the synth industry and became a star.
