James & Marco: Too Fast to Live

Uggioso sabato mattina, tocca sistemare l'umore! Cosa metto nello stereo? Spulcio nella mia modesta collezione di CD rigorosamente originali (sono un maniaco, lo so, ma ho quasi smesso... purtroppo) e salta fuori il doppio greatest hits degli Eagles. Ballatone da panico, ma anche una sana dose di country rock tonificante. Ed ecco James Dean, ascolto il testo e mi viene subito in mente Marco Simoncelli: hanno rotto le regole, hanno vissuto bruciando le tappe e la loro morte improvvisa li ha lanciati nell'olimpo degli immortali.
Tutti i piloti sanno di rischiare, sanno che ogni volta che mettono un casco mettono a repentaglio la loro vita, è lo sport che si alimenta di adrenalina: la loro che si riversa dentro di noi, spettatori invidiosi di quella velocità estrema e di quelle traiettorie assurde.
Gilles, Ayrton, Marco resteranno scolpiti nei nostri cuori! Bye-Bye, Rex

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye

James dean, james dean
I know just what you mean
James dean, you said it all so clean  
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

We’ll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin’ all the rules
James dean, james dean
So hungry and so lean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little james dean, up on the screen
Wond’rin’ who he might be
Along came a spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James dean, james dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye
