ixion/10

Thank you all --- that makes it much easier! I rather feared I'd put a few off with my rather difficult word, but it's one I always somehow found so unique. Thought we might see use of that old definition for a newspaper, "Black & white & re(a)d all over" , or in this case "...not re(a)d all over", but only paul touched on it.
My sincere congratulations, then, to ixion for another really brilliant clue (the parsing for some reason occurred to me suddenly while eating my evening meal, after considering all the assassinated US Presidents & even their assassins). You'll find your prize at

---apparently a group that re-does the hits of the Italian Nomadi, who've been around since 1963. I liked the positive title and the music, hope you do,too.
Thank you again for your patience, & see you all again next week. It's not been an easy week here, what with being ill & then this national tragedy. All the nicer to finish it off with our little obsession! gk

Congratulations, ixion - a very clear winner if you add up the votes for all of your clues! I liked 12, but I'm sorry that I missed the brilliant parsing of 10. (I also liked rambler's @8).

I'm sorry to hear that you have been poorly, GK - I hope that you are recovering and enjoying the signs of spring.

P.S. video clip reported as "unavailable".

Well done ixion, cheers GK. The link is not working for me, it's not available

URGENT: does that link work for you? It did all week here for me, now it says "Not available"! If you have difficulties, I suggest you simply go to youtube & enter "Nomadi: Io voglio vivere" where you'll see & hear the original videoclip instead of the imitation by Samizdat.

Great clue ixion, i thought it stood out on first read. Thanks for your vote and heathcliff67 (for me your clue was a clear 2nd and I'm surprised it didn't attract a vote). Cheers GK.

Are youettg round to that live clip as I suggested? I notice someone has commented "My dog can sing better than him!" but I don't agree........................

Hi again GK
I've found the Nomadi clip by doing as you suggested, but I don't see the connection to SAMIZDAT. (Also I'm struggling with the translation - is it "I want to live it"?)

Congratulations to ixion and thanks to greedy kite and the foxy Miss Moneypenny.
