Vasco and politically correct: I cut your throat would be attacked

Vasco Rossi shared a new reflection with his audience through a recent post on Instagram. The theme of the message concerns “politically correct“, regarding which the singer-songwriter from Zocca underlines how the ideological and cultural orientation of extreme respect towards everything that has imposed itself more in recent years would have “regarded poorly“his song”I’ll cut your throat“, from his seventh album “Cosa trova in città” in 1985.

“The artist captures the spirit of the time in which he lives”: this is how Vasco’s message opens, and going into detail he then writes:

Today, in the era of political correctness, a piece like ‘I’ll cut your throat’ would be considered badly, it would be attacked. In reality it is an ironic, ‘affectionate’ text: instead of ‘I’ll cut your throat’ I could have written ‘I’ll make you die of joy’.

This is another experiment, this time with a punk twist. I picked up the guitar and started playing and those words came out.

Blasco then went on to quote a passage from the lyrics of his song, which reads: “Take my soul, but give me back the radio”. In the message Vasco then continued with a reference to the period in which in 1975 he was among the founders of Punto Radio, formed by a group of young radio enthusiasts. Vasco Rossi, who was the first director and legal manager of that radio – born during the period of the so-called free radios, which contributed to overcoming the RAI’s radio and television monopoly – finally wrote:

Building a radio in 1975 was like making a revolution, trying to change the world. We were the symbol of freedom. The following year it was seized because there was a RAI monopoly, then a magistrate ruled that they couldn’t stop us from going on air and we became the first free radio… to broadcast!

In the meantime, Vasco Rossi is in full preparation for his new tour, which will take place between May and June and which will stop in Ferrara, Bari, Olbia, Ancona and Udine.
