"Non ci girerò attorno: io ho iniziato a suonare rock con l'idea di rimorchiare. Infatti si cuccava tantissimo. Era come stare in paradiso: attorno a me c'erano soltanto ormoni femminili. Non pensate che abbia combinato chissà che. Parlavamo e basta. Del resto non c'è nulla di più bello che far nascere rapporti. Pensate all'India, dove i religiosi hanno accesso a tutte le caste.

Con l'introduzione e la chiusura di GIANMARCO TOGNAZZI. Piero Pelù il rocker, l'attivista, l'anarcoide, il brado, Piero Pelù il cantante, "el diablo", il pugile, il gigante: ebbene, dimenticatevi tutto questo e preparatevi a partire. Sì, perché in questo audiolibro P. scende dal palco, spegne i riflettori e ci invita a viaggiare insieme a lui, con il coraggio di aprire la porta della memoria e di avventurarsi fino a dove tutto ha avuto inizio. E appena si ferma per un momento a riposare, ecco che accanto a lui appare un ragazzino intraprendente, originale, pieno di domande.

"The King", "The Pelvis", oppure semplicemente Elvis Presley: questo personaggio non ha bisogno di presentazioni. L'uomo che ha cambiato per sempre il modo di intendere la musica, portandola su un piano proletario e rivoluzionario, non ha mai smesso di ammaliare generazioni di fan. Il suo provocatorio movimento del bacino, il suo fascino irresistibile, la sua voce cavernosa. Tutto ha contribuito al successo del re e padre fondatore del rock'n'roll, un simbolo incontrastato della cultura pop e della vita sfrenata.

Davide Van De Sfroos girovaga con le sue storie tra immagini, istantanee e memorie, in un audiolibro d'ore segreto che si rivela pagina dopo pagina. I fantasmi e i folletti che abitano i sogni dell'autore lo accompagnano lungo strade dritte e sbiancate dal sole, dentro notti nebbiose, giorni scanditi da sentimenti sempre più forti. Qui si incontrano figure angeliche e folli, frammenti di vita reale e divagazioni fantastiche, esplosioni di gioia e riflessioni nostalgiche, lungo il cammino d'artista di uno straordinario "contastorie".

"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.
