(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 14 - Iconic Italian singer and songwriter Francesco Guccini, 84, said on Thursday that he is quitting X because the platform's owner Elon Musk "has ideas that are light years away from mine".
    "I have no interest in communicating on a platform that contributes to shape narratives and manipulate political thoughts", said the artist, known for his repertoire including socially engaged songs such as La Locomotiva and Eskimo as well as more introspective and intimate ballades including Vedi Cara, Autogrill, Signora Bovary and Cyrano - the soundtrack of two Italian generations.
    "I will continue to serenely live my life in Pavana", a town in the Appenines near Pistoia where Guccini has retired.
    "I don't think anyone will miss him on X", he said. (ANSA).
