    I was s happy to hear Jovanotti on The World today! I have been a fan of his since 1988 when I was a 16 year old exchange student in Northern Italy. I have followed his career ever since. It was the first time I’d ever heard him on the radio in the US. I could sing every word to the songs you played. Like he sang in 1988, “Go, Jovanotti Go!”
