Little Steven – Bitter fruit
“Bitter fruit”, one of the greatest solo hits of Steven Van Zandt. Now, Steve Van Zandt is not a famous name, but is definitely a famous guy! The fans of the Boss love him, because he played in thousands of concerts with Springsteen, being the guitar of the great E-Street Band. And then he chose the nickname of ‘Little Steven’ after the famous singer Little Richard, even if he is now definitely more famous than him! As a matter of fact Little Steven also acted recently in the serial “Sopranos”!
In mid-80s he was part of some song projects with political and social messaging. In fact, after being in the AUAA Project (Artists United Against Apartheid) with “Sun City”, 30 years ago he did it again with his biggest success as a singer, “Bitter fruit”. I don’t know if he reached his political goals, frankly speaking. Probably not, globalization has made things even worse, but the song was not so bad!!!

I was born lucky they always say
I work in these fields of plenty
Sweat for the company far away
Fruit once sweet now has bitter taste
