A balance over madness. A verse that has become a kind of manifesto, perfect representation of the life of its author, Vasco Rossi: «Actually then, singing it, I understood that we are many in this situation here, ”Zocca’s rocker joked in the past. That with intensity and passion he told himself inside the songs: women, first of all, then provocations, disappointments and greatest hits.
Like the incredible concert a Modena Park, that three years later Rai 1 celebrate with the special «The perfect storm» (20.35 hours). “When I arrived and saw the sea of people (225 thousand payers, editor’s note) I realized that they were all there for me ». The pinnacle of a career that began over forty years ago, in the mid-seventies, in small places where things didn’t always go for the right way.
«I did one of my first shows near Zocca, I wanted to make a good impression. But leaning on the spies are fell off the stageVasco revealed. “So he came home with one crazy sadness, I wrote “Just us”, which is also one generational response to my parents, my mom always told me that it was just me doing this ». Yup, mom Novella, a fundamental figure in the life of Blasco.
Housewife passionate about music, it was she who enrolled him in a singing school. The father Carloinstead, he died suddenly in ’79, struck down by a heart attack: the artist will dedicate to him “Fragile soul”, having even thought of abandon the scenes. On the other hand, Vasco never hid before the pain, in the songs also tells the difficulties of life: the falls of «Sally»Are also his.
Slipping for get up stronger, this is the spirit of Vasco: «Reckless life I wrote it before a concert in Sardinia, on a sports field. It was raining and I inside the car realized that all in all, even on that occasion, better a life full of trouble what a monotonous life. Then because of the injury someone identified her with I get it high, but there is no drug in that text either the thought».
A hymn to life intensely. Even on the level sentimental, as demonstrated by the many songs dedicated to women and relationships who marked the career of «Come“: gives Susanna Marani, protagonist of the homonymous «Susanna», Who went to dance in a Modenese disco where Vasco was a DJ, a «Silvia», A 14 year old girl neighbor of the artist and which symbolizes him «Blossoming of adolescence».
«I had an image only mine, like the young woman I saw every day come down from the coach to Zocca and who inspired Albachiara», Said the artist. “One day I went to tell her that I had written the text looking at her. He gave me a liar and he ran away: it was born from that episode A song for you». Then, of course, there are the women Vasco created with more lasting relationships.
First (chronologically) Gabriella Sturani, in art “Gabri», Mother of Vasco’s second son, Lorenzo, born a few months after the first-born Davide, had with Stefania Trucillo. Finally, in 1987, the Vasco road crossed with that of Laura Schmidt: «I did the thing as transgressive as possible for a rock star, i mean i decided to start a family. I was tired of instability, everything has changed ».
She is the protagonist of the famous verse «Laura is expecting a son for Christmas», Luca, which was born in 1991, welcomed by the song «Welcome». In short, in Vasco’s songs there is a bit of everything: the family, in fact, love, passion, provocations (such as «disappointed»About the girls of«It is not Rai»), The falls and the rebirths. Situations of personal life, but in which – albeit indirectly – they find themselves all his fans.
Like him, “balanced over madness».
