La Radio”… mitico brano di Eugenio Finardi descrive perfettamente quello che è stato lo spirito delle prime radio libere italiane: “Amo la radio perché arriva dalla gente, entra nelle case e ci parla direttamente, se una radio è libera ma libera veramente, piace anche di più perché libera la mente”. Oggi si tende a generalizzare e radio libera e radio privata diventano dei sinonimi. Ma la radio libera non aveva niente a che vedere con la radio privata così per come la si intende oggi. Sul finire degli anni settanta, chiunque avesse un'attrezzatura minima ed alcuni dischi faticosamente comprati o prestati da amici poteva avere il suo piccolo spazio, che sovente non went out from their native country, but it was enough space to convey their thoughts and their own enthusiasm.
Each district of a city, every town, even the most remote, had his own radio DJs were free and the faces of those people who met every day.
who had professional equipment, he could afford, in a light not blocked, to reach remote areas from the point of transmission.
The enthusiasm, the desire to convey was the winning of these radios, but also their limits, because they had to eventually collide with the logic of the market. The price you had to pay was that of having to give increasing space to advertising and to change the type of radio that was put on the air, so they became free radio stations. Some of them became full until the upheaval in total subservience to the god of money, not taking into account most of the creature designed and carried out with passion. Fortunately there are those like us
Radio Studio Center - Radio-Siciliano Consortium has decided to do a radio "semi-free" in the sense that takes into account the market while losing the freshness of a time and the desire to typical radio of the first experiences that each of us did at the end of those legendary seventies.
There was talk of freshness in the faces of disck Jokey who met every day of a thousand voices crowding ether.
We also had our DJs, and in this post I talk about them, and one in particular ...
We are in the 80s, namely in 1986, the successes of the famous duo-Tennant or Lowe Pet Shop Boys are also known to the stones. Suburbia and Paninaro went mad on our frequencies. One afternoon I was in radio and a guy came to see me, introduced himself, said his name was Joseph Spinella, of being a high school student and above that he would like to do radio. He was dressed in the fashion of "paninari" of that time, with a jacket, baggy jeans and tennis shoes designer. That fashion was characterized, among other things, as well as obsession per l'abbigliamento, dal rifiuto della politica e l'adesione a uno stile di vita fondato sul consumo, dal divertimento ad ogni costo e dalla spensieratezza. Per capire meglio chi avevo davanti cominciai a fargli delle domande. Chiesi che genere di musica ascoltasse e lui mi disse musica moderna, era un fan dei Pet Shop Boys, ma tenne a precisare che non disdegnava gli altri generi. Chiesi cosa avesse voluto fare in radio e lui mi disse che gli sarebbe piaciuto ascoltare la musica, mandare i dischi anche senza parlare. Il suo sogno era di apprendere l’arte di trasmettere e realizzare un suo programma parlato. Chiesi altre cose e capii che era poco “paninaro” forse solo fan dei Pet Shop Boys. Quindi non era un semplice ragazzetto viziato che voleva mettersi in doing radio shows, was very mature for his age and different from what it is.
Now I proposed, to learn how to send music. He accepted a few minutes later I was amazed and explaining what was a sound, what they are, how you used the turntable, cassette deck plates and coils, discs and tapes. All that was once the radio. I did do a practical test and then mixing dovendomi away, entrusted with the radio for a few minutes. In face was shocked, in disbelief, a few minutes before he had a dream and now he was doing. I went with a colleague in the car and listened to what Joseph combined. He sent all the footage of the Pet Shop Boys, but Mina, Sinatra and Pink Floyd. Did everything I had said, also sent the jingles and advertising at the scheduled time. When I returned I pretended not to know what had happened, and I asked him. Embarrassed told me that his first experience of the sweat that was done. I told him to return. And he agreed excited.
I had guessed right, Joseph became one of the regulars on the radio, but did not lose the compass. He studied at Palermo, he came home and did homework in the afternoon came on the radio to satisfy his need to escape with music. Because music is relaxing, good for body and soul. The story of Joseph Spinella
with Radio Studio Center - Consortium for Radio-Sicily
already stopped when he attended the University. When he tried to find the road at great sacrifice of his life. He had grown up with us, he became an adult, with his dreams, his aspirations, but never losing that righteousness, that intelligence, sense of duty that has always marked, as already I knew that afternoon, when he came to propose . So we lost touch for several years, those rare occasions when we met greeted us and he would always ask me ... the radio? And I said, it works!
summer of 2006, we met and spoke to me of his new interests, was involved in social work and would like to do programs that speak di vita.
Parlammo degli anni ‘80 dello stile di vita dei “paninari” che rifiutavano di occuparsi degli aspetti dell'esistenza e rifiutavano ogni forma di impegno sociale e ci scherzammo sopra.
Gli anticipai così del progetto che tanto avevo a cuore, che da lì a poco sarebbe partito in radio; l’ideazione di una serie di trasmissioni dal titolo “Domenica Cultura”, perché noi di Radio Studio Centro – Consorzio Radiofonico Siciliano abbiamo ancora la freschezza di trenta anni fa e facciamo come già detto una radio “semi-libera” e mai privata e solo commerciale che mira ai soldi e non alla sostanza della musica e dei programmi!
L’idea gli piacque, e si impegnò nell’ideazione e realizzazione di un programma religioso e di uno che si occupa di associazionismo. E così partimmo per questa nuova avventura domenicale e dei programmi di approfondimento interamente parlati, per un pubblico più attento.
Lo ripeto sempre, chi non fa radio o non l’ha mai fatta non può capire, l’etere ti entra nelle vene, diventa parte di te e tu diventi parte di essa. Un connubio che ci ha fatto crescere tutti.
Giuseppe Spinella ha iniziato col mandare solo musica, ha fatto programmi di intrattenimento e oggi egregiamente ci parla di “vita” nelle sue trasmissioni.
Vorrei chiudere con un estratto del brano di Lowe-Tennant “Paninaro” che parla di quella moda scoppiata a Milano, ma vorrei farlo con queste parole:
Adesso che Te ne sei andato, sono solo Il mio cuore è in pezzi e voglio andare a casa
Sai che è tutto finito, e che sei sfortunato
Ti senti cosi depresso, vuoi autodistruggerti
Avevo bisogno di Te e anche Tu mi amavi
E adesso non so che fare
Ma la vita va avanti, e così la storia
…
Tu! Tu sei il mio amore,
Sei la mia speranza
Tu sei il mio sogno, la mia vita, la mia passione
Il mio amore, il mio sesso, il mio denaro
…
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
Giuseppe, in fondo anche nelle canzonette puoi trovare dei significati che change your life!
