Vasco Rossi: “I said that an avalanche of ignorance was coming and now in power there is that”

“This year the red thread that unites all the pieces of the lineup is: life, being, life is, celebrated life, stubborn life, complicated life, life taken lightly, proud life. I want a reckless life, indeed they are a reckless life. In short, life in all its forms and meanings. Never like this year it is appropriate to celebrate it ».

In an interview with Marinella Venegoni for the PressVasco Rossi told the spirit of the tour in the stadiums that will start on May 31st from Turin, with a preview on 27 in Bibione (on the 26th Soundcheck for members of the Fan Club). “In the face of this world full of hatred, wars, bombing, massacres of Innocenti where it seems to have returned to the law of the jungle, to the law of the strongest of the most arrogant of the most overbearing … we celebrate life, love and peace. Mine is a light concert ».

“It is an era of changes and disturbances, of wars and inverted values, crazy heads of state and bloodthirsty dictators. I feel like everyone else, strange. We really live a very dark period ». Resistance, a few days after April 25, is a key concept. «Think this: surrender to the bitter end is a form of resistance to abuse and ignorance. But the resistance to the abuse is sacrosanct. I said that an avalanche of ignorance was coming and now in power there is that, but I am happy to bring joy and also love with my concerts, because then my songs are acts of love, and there is love inside the provocation because he must awaken consciences “.

And again: «According to Eastern philosophy, resistance is the one that makes it suffer and the acceptance brings peace. But acceptance does not mean surrender, it means understanding; A little what I wrote with “It is better to surrender to the evidence” ».

Will the tour lead to the discovery of an unpublished? «I have it, but I keep it in the drawer at least until the concert, then I'll see. I don't know if I will make it known, from now on there is still a long time at the end of May. Of new songs now I don't feel the need, once I feel the need, but perhaps because I already have many ».
