"Even the tones of Meloni and Salvini are divisive tones that only create hatred for getting consensus": Vasco Rossi said it today in Milan, presenting his new album 'Siamo qui', out on 12 November.
Vasco had opened the speech by saying that "there is a very extremist right, for me it is right that there is the right but it must not be as dangerous as what seems to be on the horizon. There is a continuous sowing of hatred and division, I make music and bring joy, there are people who blow the fire and you know who they are ".
There is a song, in Vasco Rossi's new album, 'We are here', to be released on November 12th, which is called 'Eleventh Commandment' and which makes Blasco say that "by the new rulers who, on the wave of extremism, populisms and fake news are looming on the horizon, we are not only expecting new special laws but a real Eleventh Commandment ". But - he is asked - what is this 'Eleventh Commandment'? "I expect it - he explains - from these populist phenomena that are coming, it will be to love them more than anything else, for example 'Love Trump' but there are also these phenomena in Europe but above all in Italy where there is a campaign of sowing hatred,hatred has been sown by these irresponsible politicians who - he emphasizes - just to have some more consensus are ready to ride people's fears, to stir them up and make everyone worse off. This, well, shouldn't exist ".
"The no vax thinks that there is a conspiracy because everything must have a reason, he cannot accept that it is a coincidence but he thinks there is something behind it. You try to talk to him but you cannot convince him, he is convinced of that and he needs to believe it because his head is like this ", said Vasco Rossi again. "This is why - he added - I dissociate myself from what Red Ronnie says. Lately, when he goes to speak as a columnist, he deals with topics that he does not know so much, once he said that the lyrics of the rappers are violent and instigate the violence of children and it reminds me when (Nantas, ed) Salvalaggio said that I was responsible for those who took drugs because I sang Coca Cola, but I told the young people of that time ". As for Covid and no vax, "I believe in science: if I have a toothache, I take a painkiller.I'm not going to talk to a guru, you know my position - he recalled -, I forced those who came in front of my house to get their autographs to wear a mask, that's all, I don't recommend anything ". According to Vasco," words are used shamefully today. When I hear screaming 'freedom, freedom' I think that freedom is not that: freedom - he stressed - it makes sense when it is within a limit otherwise it is not freedom but chaos, we in the 70s had already understood this, I did not expect to go back as we are doing now, to question things that were clear to me ".I don't recommend anything.
