"Ho conosciuto il Liga nel gennaio del 1991. Il ricordo è quello di una via di mezzo tra un Charles Bronson della bassa padana e un indiano metropolitano." Sono lontani i tempi in cui il Liga era solo il "ragazzo di Correggio" cresciuto a lambrusco e pop-corn. Oggi, a vent'anni esatti dagli esordi con i ClanDestino, Luciano Ligabue è una star di prima grandezza, idolo degli stadi, artista eclettico capace di richiamare folle oceaniche con i suoi sogni di rock'n'roll, come ha fatto con i 180 mila di Campovolo o a San Siro, per ben sei volte. E adesso, un traguardo importante, con un nuovo disco che arriva dopo una lunga gestazione e una nuova tournée che non mancherà di fare notizia. In una biografia elettrizzante, ricca di notizie, foto e curiosità esclusive, Massimo Poggini, che segue il Liga sin dagli inizi, ne racconta la carriera straordinaria, vissuta senza risparmio e sempre con la voglia di "rendere leggero il peso dei ricordi".
