Zucchero

"I come from the streets, everyone knows that. Among friends, we use swear words practically with affection: 'Come here, you little shit,' 'What are you doing, you whore.' So, it comes naturally to me to elevate the tone and rhythm a bit at concerts, 'get your asses up and come dance.' It's my style, like it or not. My fans like it. It would be much easier to do the regular show 'good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the applause, see you next summer'" (la Repubblica, August 15, 2007). This is blues!
