Steven Van Zandt. He has an opinion too. In Esquire last year, “Little Stevie” discussed a variety of topics. On Scandinavia: “Scandinavia is another planet. They get health care, education, there’s no homeless, they barely have a prison system. We joke about how they’re overtaxed, but it’s the same f*cking 50 percent I’m paying.

On Europe: “In Europe, everybody in the audience has the new record before they come to the show. Why? Because that’s the script of the stage production they’re about to see and participate in. They come, and they all sing every word of every song. They don’t move, they don’t go to the bathroom, they don’t order hot dogs.”

He is also working on a new project, Fuzztopia, an international music social network, commerce and music development site scheduled to launch second quarter in 2010. In short, the man has lots of things going on. On Feb 11, NY1 anchor Budd Mishkin will sit down with Steven Van Zandt at the 92nd Street Y for discussion on these topics and more.
