Chi accetterebbe mai di ospitare per diciotto anni nel giardino di casa propria una anziana barbona e il furgone debordante di rifiuti che ne costituisce il domicilio? Oltretutto Miss Shepherd non è una vecchina che susciti tenerezza: è grande e grossa, scontrosa, bislacca, poco incline alla gratitudine.

Si fa scarrozzare per la città su una sedia a rotelle ed emana un insopportabile fetore. Chi mai accetterebbe una così perturbante prossimità?

Selznick.

"Vasco aveva già sentito parlare di Massimo, non perché fosse figlio di Giovanni e della Laura, amici di sua madre, amici di suo padre, amici di sua zia, di sua cugina e di chi sa chi altro, ma perché in paese si vociferava che fosse un bambino strano, solitario, che non andava all'asilo, che quando era a casa amava fare soprattutto una cosa, voleva fare sempre quella: ascoltare la musica." Pur essendo trascorsi vent'anni dalla sua morte, Massimo Riva continua a essere amatissimo: da quel maledetto 31 maggio 1999, Vasco Rossi non ha mai fatto un concerto senza ricordarlo.
