So now into the trash goes my Bocelli Christmas CD, which is actually pretty good. Too bad it's tainted now and I won't be listening to it anymore.

It also just made me never want to hear him sing again & I loved his voice. Oh well, I've loved & lost before, I'll be ok without ever hearing him sing again.

This is shaping up to be the bigliest inaugural ever!

Trump is about as important to the average Italian as Matteo Renzi is to Americans.
