Jean-Michel Basquiat is too often under-curated. Consider the bland, context-less survey on view earlier this year at the Brant Foundation’s New York space, a private museum project of President Trump’s childhood friend Peter Brant, or the Brooklyn Museum’s 2018 “One Basquiat,” an “exhibition” consisting of a single $110.5-million-dollar painting. An easy reliance on the aura of this famous black artist with a high market value and a fatal heroin addiction often takes the place of any insightful narration. His name is enough to draw in hordes.
“Basquiat’s ‘Defacement’: The Untold Story,” an exhibition on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York through November 6, centers on the artist’s 1983 painting Defacement (The Death of Michael Stewart), which depicts an instance of police violence that occurred in September of that year. After allegedly tagging a wall in the East Village’s First Avenue subway station, Michael Stewart, a twenty-five-year-old black artist from Brooklyn, was beaten by the New York City Transit Police, put into a chokehold, and handcuffed to his bed while comatose at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. He died thirteen days later from cardiac arrest. The specifics of the attack are contested—Did Stewart attempt to flee? Did he become violent?—but to me, they don’t matter. Stewart is still dead. Stewart will always be dead. That matters.
And such mattering matters to the occasion of the exhibition itself. Chaédria LaBouvier, the show’s guest curator, is the first black person to single-handedly organize an exhibition at the Guggenheim, which was founded in 1939. There is no way the show would have been possible without Black Lives Matter, and the discussions around state violence and blackness that the movement mainstreamed. “Basquiat’s ‘Defacement’” could be seen as an attempt on the part of the Guggenheim to reach outside its spiral shell and address issues of racial injustice, or it could suggest opportunism and politicking.
In addition to the title painting, the impeccably researched exhibition features works by other artists, including David Hammons, Keith Haring, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Andy Warhol, that deal with Stewart’s death; archival materials like buttons, a protest flyer made by David Wojnarowicz, and posters for benefit performances and parties raising money for Stewart’s family to pursue legal action following his death and the officers’ acquittal; and paintings that Basquiat created in the years prior to the 1983 incident, including Irony of a Negro Policeman (1981), La Hara (1981), Untitled (Sheriff), 1981, and CPRKR (1982), that share themes concerning oppression and the violence engendered by racism and capitalism. The assortment of works on view makes the exhibition seem larger than its two rooms, but the focus and political angle feel so tight that the effect is almost suffocating.
There are two main reasons to step into this claustrophobic space, each compelling in its own right: The Death of Michael Stewart and the art of Michael Stewart. Soon after Stewart’s death, Basquiat, using acrylic paint and marker, made The Death of Michael Stewart on a wall of Haring’s studio. After Basquiat died, of an overdose at the age of twenty-seven, Haring cut the painting out of the wall, had it placed in an ornate frame, and hung it over his bed, where it remained until he died from AIDS complications in 1990. Depicting two baton-wielding pink-faced cops flanking a limbless black figure, the work is devoid of the signature Basquiat symbols that have been used for tattoos a million times over: the crowns, the African masks. Instead, we get the scrawled term ¿DEFACIMENTO©?—a questioning of the police account of Stewart’s death—and a deluge of white space, which make the painting feel all the more urgent. A small collection of Stewart’s own line-obsessed abstract sketches, of which no photographs are allowed, is encased in a glass vitrine. Would the art of Michael Stewart come to us without the death of Michael Stewart? Would his work be exhibited if it weren’t for the spectacle of his suffering and for his memorialization by Basquiat?
The Death of Michael Stewart was not originally meant to be viewed by the public. But Basquiat arguably always kept some sense of an audience in mind, even when he was working in relative anonymity at the start of his career, spray-painting buildings in downtown Manhattan with poetic lines using the tag SAMO©. By the time he created The Death of Michael Stewart, he must have known that, given his success, most of his work would eventually circulate. Perhaps he also knew that everyone loves a dead black man.

Got any cool facts about dead frenchies to share today. ( I'm very bored).
I’m not actually an expert on dead Frenchmen, I’m just a fanboy! And also I am also bored so-
Here’s some fun facts about other dead French general fans, or general fans of marshals who themselves may not be generally French:
Ernest Hemingway was fond of a statue of Michel Ney and called the statue “Mike”. The idea of "Mike" as a nickname for Ney very much amuses me.
Peter Stewart Ney is definitely not Michel Ney but he still fascinates me! I can't find the article that I read it in, but the author of that article was bringing up the question that Peter did have the scars, physique and skills that showed that he was a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars and that he most likely had his own story that he didn't need to overshadow - did he truly believe that he was Ney, or if he didn't, then why did he spend so long claiming it if it didn't bring him fame or anything?
One of Murat's descendants wrote a book about people who believe they are Napoleon
George Patton wrote a poem claiming in one of his previous reincarnated lives claiming he "galloped with Murat"
And still later as a General Have I galloped with Murat When we laughed at death and numbers Trusting in the Emperor's Star. Till at last our star faded, And we shouted to our doom Where the sunken road of Ohein Closed us in it's quivering gloom.
a french artist crochet-bombed the statue of Jean Lannes in 2012 and gave him a nice shawl

Fantasy read-list: A-3.5
After an article about “Greco-Roman fantasy” or Antique fantasy, I also have found an article evoking the role and importance of the Arthurian myth in fantasy (well, two articles actually). 
The first one is an article by Sara Doke, who offers her own chronology of the Arthurian literature. You will be able to compare it with my original Arthuriana post, and see the slight differences.
1) For Sara Doke, the beginning of it all, the foundation of the Arthurian literature, the first works of the Arthurian world as we understand it today, would be Geoffrey of Monmouth’s works: The Prophecies of Merlin, The History of the Kings of Britain, and the Life of Merlin. (You will often hear these orks referred to by their Latin names, such as Vita Merlini or Prophetiae Merlini).
2) Then, there was the “spark” that actually ignited and gave life to the Arthurian legend and literature. This “spark” was a set of two authors, who used the work of Monmouth as a basis for their work. On one side, Robert Wace with his Roman de Brut, followed by his Roman de Rou (not to be confused by Layamon’s own Roman de Brut, an English rewrite of the original French epic). On the other side, the author I heavily talked about in my original post: Chrétien de Troyes, the “father of the matter of Britain”, and the shaper of the Arthurian myth as we know it today - with his five novels, Erec and Enide, Cliges, Yvain the Knight of the Lion, Lancelot the Knight of the Cart, and Perceval the Story of the Grail. 
3) The third step of the Arthurian evolution was a series of works that slowly shifted the focus of the plot and stories away from the knights of the Round Table themselves, away from their individual and personal adventures, to rather follow the quest of the Grail, which became the main “end-goal” of the Arthuriana. This was the time of Robert of Robon who, through his cycle of works (Joseph d’Arimathie, Merlin, and others lost to time), opened the way for the Vulgate Cycle (or “Lancelot-Grail”), with its History of Merlin, Lancelot Proper, Quest for the Holy Grail, Death of King Arthur... The Vulgate Cycle was then followed by the Post-Vulgate Cycle, which took back the material, books and stories of the Vulgate, but fused them with another very popular literary work of the time: the Prose Tristan. 
4) After the Post-Vulgate Cycle, Sara Doke notes that there was a disinterest in the matter of Britain and the Arthuriana throughout the 14th and 15th centuries. We will have to wait until sir Thomas Malory’s work, Le Morte d’Arthur, for a new Arthurian boom/Arthurian wave. By gathering together the versions of the Vulgate, of the Post-Vulgate and of the Chrétien novels, sir Thomas Mallory created a work that would become THE defining story of the Arthurian legend, and the main reference for all posterior Arthurian authors. Lord Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, T. H. White’s The Once and Future King (later adapted into the famous Disney movie The Sword in the Stone), Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Stenbeck’s The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights... They all were inspired by and taking their Arthurian vision from Le Morte d’Arthur. 
5) Sara Doke concludes her chronology by a handful of more modern works, that truly turn the Arthurian myth into moder “fantasy”. Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon. Mary Stewart’s Arthurian novels (The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment, The Wicked Day). Bernard Cornwell’s The Warlord Chronicles. Lawhead’s The Pendragon Cycle. Doke also mentions French authors that English-speaker might not be accustomed to: René Barjavel with his L’Enchanteur (The Enchanter), Michel Rio with his Merlin et Morgane, Jean Markale with his Le Cycle du Graal, Jean-Louis Fetjaine with his Le Pas de Merlin followed by Brocéliande... 
To conclude this post, we leave Sara Doke for another article, this time written by P.J.G. Mergey, who is rather focused on movies based on the Arthurian myth. He does mention a non-movie piece, Wagner’s opera Parsifal, to prove that the Arthurian texts have always been producing visual entertainment. In terms of actual movies, Mergey mentions 2004′s King Arthur, John Boorman’s Excalibur, 2007′s The Last Legion and 1995′s The First Knight.  As he speaks of The Last Legion, he mentions that the mystery of the “missing legion” was notably brought to the public by Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Eagle of the Ninth, a historical novel that was adapted two times nto a movies - in 2011, by the same name, and in 2010 as “Centurion”. 
Two last mentions. Talking about the character of Mebd/Mabd, Mergey mentions an old Irish epic I am not sure I talked about before: Tain Bo Cuailnge, The Cattle Raid of Cooley, of which Mebd/Mabd is one of the main characters.
And finally - since this is a French article talking about king Arthur, one work HAD to be evoked. Kaamelott. The British have their Arthurian parody in the shape of Monty Python’s Holy Grail, we have Kaamelott. Kaamelott started out in 2005 as a humoristic shortcom depicting the daily life of king Arthur and the characters of the Arthurian legend, who are either completely logical and reasonable characters faced with the inherent craziness and absurdity of the Arthuriana, or actually incompetent, flawed and caricatural characters a far cry from their original fictional selves. On top of deconstructing the myth itself, the humor of the series was also historical, since it replaces the king’s life in the context of the crumbling of the Roman Empire and the invasions of the barbarians from the north. This series’ massive success led to it having six full seasons, that slowly went from short comedy skits to actual full, serious, dramatic television episodes - and its fame hasn’t stopped, since very recently a trilogy of movies meant to conclude the series was announced, with the first movie being released in 2021.

Jean-Michel Basquiat - Death of Michael Stewart, 1983

Okay as promised here's my more thoughts to follow in the Buffy update, A+ series had a great time. "Innocence", "Passion", "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "Becoming" so great, Buffy gets so much good everything for all the big Angel fallout Sarah Michelle Gellar is just always nailing it. Also actually warmed up to Cordyxander wasn't expecting that. Gonna admit wasn't super into Spike at first but I'll tell you into the second half once he was in the wheelchair loved that guy, dunno just wasn't really buying the hype they tried but after taking him down a few notches my kinda guy. RIP Jenny but she got a lot of great stuff loved her, RIP Kendra kinda wish she'd got a bit more for her death. Also I remember back in What's My Line I thought oh a cop who just starts blasting in a school of course she's an assassin but then they do the same thing in Becoming just as regular cops incredible. Also wow they went real hard on the queer coding with Buffy coming out to Joyce in Becoming (this was also a great scene), also a hard unsympathetic turn for Joyce especially in 3x01 with her blaming Giles for Buffy following Joyce's ultimatum, wasn't expecting it so much. Giles also, lotta great stuff, shocker Anthony Stewart Head does good work I know but he was so good in Passion and I Only Have Eyes For You. I didn't think I'd get so into the whole AngelxBuffy romance considering y'know I already knew how it goes but nah its still real good even with that foreknowledge. Also shout out to Willow just having to double as a teacher for the latter half of the series since Jenny died incredible stuff, and good for her getting into the witch phase which is what I mostly knew about her from second hand knowledge, besides that finding out she was gay in the evil mirror verse was part of how she found out she was gay herself.
Also I forgot about that joke about how David Boreanaz can't do an Irish accent and man he can really not do an Irish accent, I remember an episode of Angel where his pre Vampire memories took over or something and they just had him do the American accent, shout out also to Angel being dead and still in the opening credits for series 3 (I've watched one episode so far) really selling me that he's dead forever guys. Also gotta say despite I Only Have Eyes For You being real good, kinda sketchy the whole I dunno if the student being in a relationship with his teacher was handled particularly well. Like I get it yeah for the comparison between Angel and Buffy but directly bringing that in makes that a bit sketch as well, like I'm not gonna complain about age differences with vampire/human romances because its a staple, you can't get away from it they're vampires but if you're directly bringing in the comparisons y'know.
Also glad you mostly enjoyed the song recs, I've been listening to Rise Against since you said The Weight of my Pride is like them meets Fightstar (who I will also get to but I am incapable of checking out music in a way that isn't listening to they're entire discography in a row before trying out another one), they're so good I haven't clicked this hard with a band since I got into Dio and REO Speedwagon, its just banger after banger.
Also gonna go read HerInsectReflections' essays on series 2 like you recced. Will read your Common Ground fic when I get to around about Faith's heel turn I think.
Final last second thought the theme song seems a bit different for series 3? Dunno if I like it as much I'm sure it'll grow on me
Yeah! Definitely read the @herinsectreflection essays, they're really incredible. In particular I think you might enjoy skipping straight to the one she wrote for "I Only Have Eyes for You" since I think it does a really good job dissecting and contextualizing the teacher/student and age gap stuff in that episode while still acknowledging what sucks about it.
I know I've said before that my favorite episodes of Buffy are the ones that are really about other episodes of Buffy but I really mean it and I think you probably know exactly what I mean about that by now. As such, I'm really excited for you to get further into s3 and start getting to the Faith stuff. Very enmeshed with the Angel/Angelus arc.
Anyway fully agree re: Kendra. The show really did her dirty. It's got to be acknowledge that the one way Buffy fails egregiously and repeatedly throughout all 7 seasons in with race. Characters of color and black characters in particular are rarely seen, usually only fulfilling temporary roles, lack the depth and interiority of white characters and are usually victims of some sort of stereotyping. It's a bummer and I wish I could say it gets better but it really doesn't. Huge L!
Re: Spike - honestly yeah, for me he's best when he's kinda just being the buttmonkey.
I think the season 3 theme might be where they ditch the scream? I prefer the scream tbh. But when I watch with my best friend she does it for me, which is very sweet.
Thanks for checking in again! Love your updates! Glad you're having a good time!

Tina Turner Dead at 83: Full Recap
The legendary singer died at her home in Switzerland on Wednesday, May 24

Tina Turner, the iconic singer who was dubbed the "Queen of Rock'n Roll," died on Wednesday, May 24, at the age of 83. Her publicist Bernard Doherty confirmed to PEOPLE that she died in her home near Zurich, Switzerland.

Mariah Carey posted a photo of Turner on Instagram to celebrate the late legend's life.
"The words legendary, iconic, diva, and superstar are often overused and yet Tina Turner embodies them all and so many more - an incredible performer, musician and trailblazer," Carey wrote. "To me, she will always be a survivor and an inspiration to women everywhere. Her music will continue to inspire generations to come. Rest in Peace, Queen ❤️."
Inside Tina Turner's 37-Year Romance with Erwin Bach
Tina Turner found her king when she met her future second husband Erwin Bach at an airport nearly 40 years ago. The music legend opened up about her romance with Bach, now 67, in her 2021 HBO documentary Tina.
"He was [16 years] younger [than me]. He was 30 years old at the time and had the prettiest face. I mean, you cannot [describe] it. It was like insane. [I thought], 'Where did he come from?' He was really so good-looking. My heart [was beating fast] and it means that a soul has met, and my hands were shaking," Turner recalled in the film.
Inside Tina Turner's Health Struggles
Throughout her longstanding 60-year career, the Queen of Rock was often vocal about her health struggles, which date back to 1978 when she was diagnosed with hypertension.
She detailed the experience in an interview with the European Health Kidney Alliance explaining, "I can’t remember ever getting an explanation about what high blood pressure means or how it affects the body. I considered high blood pressure my normal. Hence, I didn’t really try to control it."
With her condition left untreated, Turner suffered a stroke in 2013 just three weeks after she wed her husband, Erwin Bach. Her health took a turn for the worse again in 2016 when she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer.
After experiencing unpleasant side effects from her initial treatment, Turner turned to homeopathic remedies, which only worsened her condition and led her to have total kidney failure. She received a largely successful kidney donation operation from Bach in April 2017, though Turner still experienced mild symptoms.

Ronnie Wood Remembers Tina Turner
instagram
Jagger’s bandmate Ronnie Wood also shared some words and snapshots in Turner’s honor. 
“God bless you Tina, the Queen Of Rock And Soul and a dear friend to our family. Love and prayers to all of Tina’s family, friends and loved ones,” Wood wrote alongside a carousel of pictures with the late singer. Two of the photos saw Turner with Wood’s twin 6-year-old daughters, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, during their toddler years.
Tina Turner's Manager, Roger Davies, Pays Tribute
Turner’s longtime manager, Roger Davies, paid tribute to the late Queen of Rock in a statement to PEOPLE. 
“Tina was a unique and remarkable force of nature with her strength, incredible energy and immense talent,” the music producer said. “From the first day I met her in 1980 she believed in herself completely when few others did at that time.” 
He continued: “It was a privilege and an honour to have been a close friend as well as her manager for more than 30 years. I will miss her deeply.”
Elton John Remembers Tina Turner

Tracking down the “High Stakes Narrative” feature of conflict-filled 3-act.
This turned out to be trickier than I thought. I thought I would outline why.
What I forgot about when I was listening to “You’re Wrong About” podcast was how paranoid people became in the 1970′s. There was the push towards sellable domesticity, like Martha Stewart, there was the whole, “Satanic Panic”. And there was a F3AR of pornography, centered around Deep Throat. And there was the anti-drug campaigns at the same time.
Given the atmosphere after the 1960′s, to push back specifically from the same adults on the 1960′s, this is my best guess for when the high stakes comes in. You see, Syd Field didn’t put in a high stakes narrative because his model for his story structure is flat. It’s a flat line. The peaks and mountains is Kenneth Rowe stealing from two other people from them and not giving them credit.
So it’s a question of who bred the two models together and didn’t give the proper credit? It has to be in the 1980′s where the attributions went sideways.
I’ve found a piece to suggest that: Our next figure is https://www.theatredatabase.com/20th_century/bertolt_brecht_001.html
Bertolt Brecht probably passed everyone’s notice within his lifetime, but his son was a theater critic in the US. Brecht was a poet, critic, and author of novels, so you can see it traveled. He was also against what he saw as Aristolean theater. 
Andrew Lloyd Webber, however, from the UK was a big fan of Brecht’s work and used it to structure his musicals. As outlined by the Youtube Channel “Waiting in the Wings” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or51TrNMV4w
12:21-12:51
Brecht argued for a character low--the worst thing that could happen to the character happens to them. I should note in the 2000′s this lost favor. But from what I’ve read, the “High stakes” coining doesn’t come from Brecht, but it is one more puzzle piece on the way to Brecht. And this only became popular in the 1980′s after importation and maybe with the help of his son.
To me, that’s wild.
So if you’re following along, Freytag creates his pyramid with the story driver being emotion-->1921, Percy Lubbock argues for conflict narrative (and also Death of the Author)-->Kenneth Rowe plagiarizes works (Selden Lincoln Whitcomb and Joseph Joseph Berg Esenwein) that go against Percy Lubbock’s writings to argue in favor of Percy Lubbock to put down Gertrude Stein-->Lajos Egri, who refuted Rowe’s understanding of Shakespeare in the equivalent of a subtweet and added character analysis by psychology in there-->This leads to Syd Field, who creates the three-act, but there is no mention of high stakes narrative with the worst thing ever happening to the character in his work or the inciting incident.-->The coming of French Critics in the 1970′s-1980′s, Roland Barthes, Vladimir Propp, Joseph Campbell, and Northrop Frye. Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida.--> Bertolt Brecht then got folded in, which I kind of think is an irony, since he hated Aristotle, but then all of this is attributed later to Aristotle. TT 
Don’t you feel bad yet? Some people who don’t want to be here, are folded to be here Whitcomb, especially. I rather liked his nuanced look at novels, and out of everyone mentioned I kinda like him the most.
So we’re missing two figures: High Stakes Narrative (likely white male, considering how thing are going.) and the “inciting incident” coining. (I read the French philosophers and they aren’t it.) And Syd Field isn’t our person. The dregs of it are around, but not named. I do think it’s likely either Brecht (Whom I haven’t gotten to read in full yet) or some other script maker.
Oh and I found out that Ben Jonson likely compiled the First Folio for William Shakespeare. He makes the dedication in the front of the Folio for him. He’s also a likely candidate (no, not to be William Shakespeare), but to have imposed the act structure on the plays. The circumstantial evidence is there. He had a poor understanding of Latin and Greek languages, loved the classics, translated them POORLY (Most famously Horace, but also other Greek plays.) and had a HUGE ego. I mean the man wrote a play that got him jailed and didn’t care and still continued to write raunchy plays. He insisted that his name be spelled Ben Jonson without the H in his lifetime to be pedantic, even though his father spelled it with the h. The man had ego to spare. And he made the dedication in the front of the Folio. Since he loved Greek plays and the classics, I think he’s likely the one that reformatted Shakespeare’s plays to the Five Act structure, which only became popular after Shakespeare’s death. (If we’re establishing, from a bad translation of Aelius Donatus.) I think we need to put him in consideration for structuring the plays like that. And yes, I do have the counter story of what was happening with women and minorities during the same time period with story structure. Mostly they followed Virginia Woolf’s example with saying it can’t be described and might be individual.

Fil di Ferro: Torino fucina metallica
Contesto
Il 1979 è un anno denso di avvenimenti come lo sono pochi altri. Avvenimenti quasi tutti di pesante impatto globale e gravidi di conseguenze per il periodo a venire. Già il 1° gennaio, il riconoscimento della Cina comunista da parte degli Stati Uniti, lo scambio di ambasciatori tra Whashington e Pechino.
Cambia tutto tra le due sponde del Pacifico. Il 7 gennaio cade in Cambogia il regime di Pol Pot, uno dei più sanguinari della storia recente. Un poco più a Ovest, in Iran, il giorno 17 prende invece il potere un leader religioso rientrato da un lungo esilio a Parigi, Ruhollah Khomeini.
In Italia
In Italia il 1979 avviene l’assassinio del giornalista Mino Pecorelli, che ha voluto mettere il naso nei segreti di certe banche e della massoneria. L’incriminazione del governatore della Banca d’Italia Paolo Baffi e l’arresto del direttore generale Mario Sarcinelli per interesse privato in atti d’ufficio (accusa che poi cadrà).
Il delitto dell’avvocato Giorgio Ambrosoli liquidatore della banca di Michele Sindona. Arresto dei brigatisti Valerio Morucci e Adriana Faranda coinvolti nel caso Moro. Morte in un incidente aereo a Forlì del re dei cereali Serafino Ferruzzi. La fine del sequestro di Fabrizio De André e Dori Ghezzi, rapiti in Sardegna quattro mesi prima.
Per ricordare un fatto che ha tenuto a lungo le prime pagine dei giornali e che avrà echi negli anni successivi si deve tornare al 7 aprile. Un magistrato di Padova, Pietro Calogero, lancia una grande offensiva giudiziaria contro Autonomia operaia.
Tra gli arrestati figurano docenti universitari, intellettuali, giornalisti. Spicca il nome del professor Antonio Negri, Toni Negri. Gli inquisiti sono centinaia.
Nel 13 marzo nasce lo Sme, Sistema monetario europeo, antenato della valuta unica di oggi. Margareth Thatcher si prepara alla elezione del suo primo parlamento.
In questo contesto nascono i Fil di ferro
Storia del gruppo
I Fil di ferro sono un gruppo heavy metal italiano, formatosi a Torino nel 1979 per iniziativa del bassista Bruno Gallo Balma e del batterista Michele De Rosa.
La band è considerata, insieme a Vanadium, Strana Officina, Death SS e Bulldozer, una delle prime ad aver portato la musica metal in Italia, nonché una delle più importanti dello stesso.
Michele De Rosa e Bruno Gallo hanno formato il gruppo con il chitarrista Danilo Ghiglieri e il cantante Leonardo Fiore. Nel 1986 (dopo un demo tape del 1984 e numerosi concerti che danno una certa notorietà al gruppo) esce il primo album, Hurricanes, pubblicato da Il Discotto Records. Questo album viene registrato con il nuovo cantante Sergio Zara e il nuovo chitarrista Claudio De Vecchi.
Il titolo Hurricanes proviene dal nome del gruppo biker di cui facevano parte sia Michele De Rosa sia Bruno Gallo. Il disco è stato registrato da Beppe Crovella (tastierista degli Arti e Mestieri).
Nel 1987 per l’etichetta dischi Noi, con la produzione esecutiva di Mariano Schiavolini (ex membro del gruppo rock progressivo Celeste), i Fil di ferro registrano il loro secondo album, omonimo, che vede l’entrata del nuovo chitarrista Miky Fiorito, autore di tutti i brani del disco, arrangiati con il resto del gruppo.
Le registrazioni vengono effettuate in Cornovaglia con Guy Bidmead, ingegnere del suono di Rod Stewart e Motörhead. I Fil di ferro tengono anche un concerto presso l’Hammersmith Apollo di Londra, trasmesso dalla televisione italiana su Italia 1 nel programma Rock a mezzanotte.
La performance viene registrata e inclusa nella compilation Italian rock invasion.
Nel 1991 Sergio Zara è uscito dai Fil di ferro, lasciando il posto alla voce femminile di Giordy (Elisabetta Di Giorgio), con la quale la band ha registrato la ballata Give me your hand e girato un video clip per il mercato russo.
Nel 1992 per l’etichetta Axis Records è uscito il terzo album, Rock Rock Rock che vede la partecipazione del chitarrista russo Victor Zinchuk e di Roberta Bacciolo delle Funky Lips in veste di ospiti. In esso è stato ripreso Give me your hand registrata precedentemente da Giordy come singolo.
L’album ha presentato caratteristiche più hard rock/blues rispetto ai primi due lavori e vede Miky Fiorito anche nel ruolo di cantante. Nello stesso anno si è verificata la fine della collaborazione, durata quasi un anno, con Giordy.
Nel 1997 è entrato nel gruppo Piero Leporale alla voce, mentre il 1998 è tempo dell’ingresso di Francesco Barbierato al basso.
Nel 2004 esce a distanza di dodici anni dal lavoro precedente il quarto album, It Will Be Passion. Il disco è un rifacimento di vecchi brani e nuovi inediti.
Nel 2008 il gruppo cambia ancora formazione: escono dalla formazione Fiorito, Leporale e Barbierato, sostituiti da Gianni Castellino al basso, Alex Verando alla chitarra e Phil Arancio alla voce. Nel 2009 entrano in formazione Gianluca “Yes” Uccheddu alla chitarra al posto di Alex e Elvis Taberna al posto di Phil Arancio.
Con questa nuova formazione il gruppo ha abbandonato l’hard rock blues del terzo e quarto album ritornando ad un più duro heavy metal di stampo Saxon/Judas Priest che ha caratterizzato la band nei primi due album.
Nel settembre del 2012 è uscito It’s Always time, album contenente il rifacimento di Hurricanes con la nuova formazione, tre inediti e dodici brani tratti dai dischi più significativi.
In occasione del festival Acciaio italiano 2015, tenutosi a Modena il 31 gennaio 2015, si è verificato il ritorno alla voce di Phil in sostituzione di Elvis Taberna, che ha dovuto abbandonare il gruppo per motivi di salute. Elvis è rimasto nel giro Fil di ferro con mansioni amministrative.
Dopo pochi mesi nuovo cambio di formazione riguardante la voce: entra Paola Goitre al posto di Phil, con la quale sono in programma vari lavori live e in studio.
A inizio 2017 ritorna in formazione il chitarrista Miky Fiorito, il quale si mette subito al lavoro per comporre le canzoni che faranno parte del sesto album del gruppo. I riff di chitarra questa volta hanno un piglio epico ed è a seguito di queste nuove sonorità che nasce l’idea del concept album intitolato Wolfblood, che narra della mitologia nordica del RagnaRock, anche per via dei testi a tema ideati da Paola Goitre. Il nuovo lavoro viene pubblicato a ottobre del 2019.

The Grue-Crew settle in to tackle a slick, confident – and criminally overlooked – haunted house feature from 1980, The Changeling. The film earns its respect as a classic film and its place as a cult favorite capturing the very first Genie Award for Best Canadian Film from the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. The film’s stars, George C.
