Mitzi. Mitzi Dupree

Mitzi is the name of a friend's cat. Hearing this name I thought I should find out the meaning of Mitzi Dupree, one of the song from a famous classic rock band: Deep Purple! After searching the web for it, well, nothing special came out about it. So, all it's left to do is just to enjoy the song as it is, without thinking about some hidden meanings! And, by the way, "It has no connection with China!"

Well, if you are searching the web for "The House of Blue Lights" instead of "The House of Blue Light", you'll find quite a story, a scary tale!

Even today, though it has been many years since the “House” has been torn down, there is tremendous interest in it.

When A Blind Man Cries - DEEP PURPLE

If you're leaving, close the door

I'm not expecting people, anymore

Here me grieving, lying on the floor

Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure

I'm a blind man

I'm a blind man

And my world is pale

When a blind man cries

Lord, you know

There ain't a sadder tale

Had a friend once, in a room

Had a good time, but it ended much too soon

In a cold month, in that room

We found a reason, for the things we had to do

I'm a blind man

I'm a blind man

Now my room is cold

When a blind man cries

Lord, you know

He feels it from his soul

Virgin Classic

There was a time when I used to listen to a single radio station that broadcasted classic rock.

That was a time with a great rock community, a community of devoted and passionate listeners, a community no longer wanted at a certain moment: soon after Virgin Radio London studio (1, Golden Square) was sold and rebranded as Absolute Radio.

It still broadcast interesting music, only that the induced atmosphere is far from the "original" one. How could a radio station to simply erase its own community of listeners, when anyone else would buy it?

It is hard to understand. Writing these lines makes me think that I was really attached to that area of the station...

Reaching the studio at its 15th anniversary might be an extra reason for my attachment to it...

Searching for Virgin Radio for the sake of good old Virgin times, with joy I've found the last of their Classic Rock station lies within Italy: Virgin Radio Italy.

Starting from the home page, wait or skip the ad, then simply click on Virgin Classic under Web Radio menu placed on the right side of the webpage, and enjoy the music!
