From Springsteen to San Siro, the “nimby of rock” talk about the environment but want bans

The concert in Monza Park, where tropical bad weather has wreaked havoc, will take place even if there are those who cry out that “it’s reckless”. But they didn’t want the Boss even before the tornado, just as they wanted to block Ligabue and Pope Francis. They are the ones who would have preferred the rain in Woodstock

“No rain! No rain! No rain!”, they shouted under the water bomb of Woodstock and then in dozens of concerts flooded everywhere. Bruce Springsteen will sing in Monza, on a muddy lawn at the racetrack but fit for purpose (nothing that deserves UNESCO protection, whatever some may say), in the middle of a Brianza where tropical bad weather has wreaked havoc in the last few days. The Park of Monza it has been closed for three days to be secured, and if there is sufficient security, the concert will take place. Also if there are those who shout that “it’s unconscious”, and they are the same commentators according to which “the only ones who benefit from the concert are the organizers”. But okay? Now that’s economic analysis. Everyone, of course, hopes that nothing will happen, and that those who have the duty to monitor and evaluate.
