"You cannot blame idols for doing certain things. Parents, at home, are the real idols, those who get your life on track," Diego Maradona said at a press conference, after arriving at the Madrid-Barajas airport.

Let's go back in time:

Watching television a father receives the news of Kurt Cobain´s suicide. It's 1994. He remembers that the last record his fifteen-years-old son asked for was Nirvana's Nevermind,. "The same band in which the guy, who has shot himself in the head with a Magnum, sang" - he thinks.

Immediately he goes to his son's room and says: "I don't want to see you with that guitar ever again."

You can blame the guitar for heroin, you can blame Chill for LSD, and you can blame books about horsemen for paranoia. But, does anybody think that Don Quixote went crazy for reading tales of knights?

Music, literature, art feed of life. To create, just one thing is needed: feeling. We can learn from drugs, or perhaps a jail sentence (like Cervantes or Dostoyevsky), or maybe a broken heart. ¿Are the muses addicted to love, or are they serving sentence because of love?

Mick Jagger said that drugs had surpassed the preterit "sex" in the legend: "sex, drugs and rock and roll", therefore it became: "drugs, sex and rock and roll". That is how Jagger illustrated its importance in the current music scene.

As a pair, drugs and rock and roll have been sharing stages and dressing rooms, assailing the microphone with fury and the backstage with sexual encounters, just as once upon a time there were giant-like windmills in the land of Castilla.

To such an extent that each decade can immediately be identified with a certain musical style; if you think for a second, only a second, you can also identify them with a specific drug, a sinister totem: the 70´s were rock, but also cocaine; the 80´s were pop, and also heroin; the 90´s were electronic music, and also acid..

"Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse", James Dean said ironically. This sentence turned sinister when he practiced what he preached. A red Porsche Spyder that usually went too fast was his grave.

How excessive is it to say that speed was the drug that killed James Dean? He had an accident on the way to a rally. Meaning, he had raced on his way to a racing circuit. And that is not all, he had just been fined for speeding a few minutes before. I know someone who would say that that is a true craving to consume.

Drugs or speed, as other thing, are signs of human behavior, deficiencies, weaknesses, or perhaps an undiscovered spirit. What were James, Kurt, Elvis, Antonio running to? Or even more disturbingly: what were they running from?
