Beloved Silvio.....

The album that you were all waiting for is out now! "Meglio una canzone", better a song, is the so longed for compilation of 14 Neapolitan love songs, wrote by Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi and vocalized by his favorite minstrel Mr. Apicella.

Prior to going into politics Silvio Berlusconi, 71, worked as a singer occasionally on cruise liners and in bars on beaches:now the amateur singer has full filled his long life dream of recording an album, which sang the words of love. The songs were all written by Mr. Berlusconi himself.One songs narrates of love " that turns off like a star" or " that wakes you up when night is dark".

Mariano Apicella,39, made popular by the artistic collaboration with Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is in stores with his debut album from the beginning of December. Despite the malicious rumors insinuating the album wouldn't be available for Christmas the melodious duet made it, though Mr. Apicella admits that it was quite stressful stating " Mr. Berlusconi said that he can't find the time to finish our CD".

I can't help, but wonder what could the Italian Prime minster possibly have to do that would keep him from a full-time collaboration with Mr Apicella. Oh yeah there is that minor issue in Naples of the mafia and the garbage that is clamming the streets, and of course the thingy where the Italian economy is going down the drain with the public debt going beyond the 100 per cent of the nation's GDP, but it's all so depressing, better a song.
