Francesco De Gregori: “Better asshole than master”
Each date will propose the full execution of the album, with its nine songs – from Pablo to Goodnight Fiorellinofrom the title track to the poignant Pieces of glass – And a selection of other pieces chosen freely among the many of his repertoire. No stairs fixed beyond Rimmelto leave room for variations, surprises and songs never equal from one evening to the other.
Published in 1975, Rimmel It is the album that has consecrated De Gregori as one of the absolute protagonists of the Italian songwriter. Written in a moment of great creative ferment – and not without controversy, like those that followed him after the alleged abandonment of the political commitment – the album marked a linguistic and poetic turning point. Songs like Pieces of glass, Pablo, Four dogs and the same Rimmel abandon the linear narrative to accommodate one more symbolic, elliptical, at times dreamlike writingwhich deeply influenced the way of writing songs in Italy. The disc sold beyond 500 thousand copies (a huge figure for the time) and still remains one of the most loved works of the Roman singer -songwriter.
