...guest on RockPolitik, an irreverent mix of song, satire and sermonizing hosted by Italy's most popular entertainer, Adriano Celentano. After sitting down to write a mock letter of apology to Berlusconi, the odd couple racked their brains for something positive to say. Drawing a blank, the scrawny comic then feigned a call to a friend who works for the Prime Minister's party, but no luck there either. "Nothing," he told Celentano.

Indeed, the shallow, obvious individuals that inhabit “Prime” prevent the story from reaching deeper emotional and comic levels.
