Lo storico leader e fondatore dei Timoria - pionieri del rock italiano anni Novanta - affida a questo ascolto il racconto di tutto quello che la musica gli ha regalato: incontri, canzoni, occasioni e luoghi che hanno messo in discussione la sua vita, salvandola, tra rivoluzioni, precipizi e svolte. Dopo un difficile intervento al cuore, il terzo, a causa della malattia che lo accompagna da sempre, Omar Pedrini decide di parlare di sé. E lo fa componendo un libro che sembra quasi il film della sua vita, o il suo personalissimo concept album.

It wasn't because the band didn't have great songs—indeed, the Trees were revered for their ability to write a great song that was both artistically original and commercially viable, which is no easy task. Other Seattle bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden were fans of the Screaming Trees, playing shows with them and collaborating on albums, long before their own bands broke through into the mainstream.

Judy Torres is a Bronx legend, a freestyle music icon, and a voice that helped define a generation. Known as the Queen of Freestyle, Judy rose to fame in the late 1980s with club staples like "No Reason to Cry," "Come Into My Arms," and "Love You, Will You Love Me."
