Got musical chills from this one. I feel bad for saying this, but while Guccini's (presumably?) Don Chisciotte isn't bad, I find I really like the singer performing Sancho Panza better. And then there's some of the clever turns -- Panza, the realist, will settle for the castle. :)

Then, of course, power as the refuse of the history of mankind, wow.

Kind of random: even in spite of having studied opera for a time, I still have a hard time adjusting to the "agglutinative" (for lack of a better word) scansion in many Italian songs; I'm not quite sure if this is a personal quirk or a common thing for English-speakers.
