The emergency in Emilia-Romagna? “We knew nothing about it.” Speaking is Stevie Van Zandt, better known as Little Stevenone of the members of the E-Street Band and Bruce Springsteen’s right-hand man who, a little over a week after the concert of the controversies in the urban park of Ferrara, thus responds to the comment of a fan who on Twitter who asked him why from stage no word has come out for the populations affected by the flood.
The question of the fan on social media
«I know you as a man and artists of great values. An honest man – wrote the fan – but above all a free man. I attended the Ferrara show. Is it really true that you, Bruce and the BSE knew nothing about the emergency in Emilia-Romagna, about the heavy floods near Ferrara, about the fifteen displaced people? I can’t believe you knew about this tragedy and no one from the stage said anything because they know your heart, your spirit, your faith: absolutely impossible”.
“We didn’t know anything”
Van Zandt’s response, who shared the stage with the Boss for over three hours in concert, while those present expected at least a greeting, a wish or a word of encouragement for the people of Romagna, leaves no room for interpretation and will probably reopen a new debate on the concert of last May 18th. «We knew nothing about it» answered Little Steven succinctly, who then adds: “All we heard was that the workers had to work overtime because the place was a big mud puddle from the rain. (hence the decision to open the gates almost four hours after the initially scheduled time, ndr). That was all.” Therefore, it is conceivable that the Boss’s silence arrived because he was not informed of what was happening: possible new controversies in the next few hours are not excluded.
