Conocer de qué modo ganó su primer dinero Morante de la Puebla, que Roca Rey ha ejercido de monosabio; saber de la íntima amistad de Espartaco con el astro del balón Diego Armando Maradona o la historia del «anti» que se hizo taurino por amor, nos sirve para completar el indescifrable cuadro de una realidad tan rica y compleja como la de la tauromaquia. La anécdota es como el retrato instantáneo que se toma sin que los protagonistas se den cuenta, revelando un documento que habría permanecido ignorado.

At the time of Buddy Holly's birth in 1936, in Lubbock Texas, rock music and its various hybrid genres were in early infancy. Signs of rock's future magnitude would soon be seen in the sexual charisma of the young Elvis Presley, the rhythm and passion of Chuck Berry, the riveting musical dialogues of Little Richard, and the raw virtuosity of Jerry Lee Lewis. Even then, however, no one yet knew what a rock star really was, and who could become one.

When the American Film Institute ranked its top 50 screen legends of the 20th century, many of the people named had careers spanning several decades, but one of them managed the feat despite living less than three decades. Ranked as the 22nd greatest actress of the 20th century, Jean Harlow was on the screen for less than 10 years, but in that time the "blonde bombshell" became the most popular actress of the 1930s. The platinum blonde was a leading lady for just five years before her premature death of renal failure at just 26 years old.

Tradicionalmente, los músicos han sido objeto de adoración. Una admiración que, en ocasiones, roza la devoción religiosa. Colas interminables, y hasta desmayos, para los conciertos, posters decorando las habitaciones de los adolescentes, portadas de miles de publicaciones y miles de biografías escritas sobre talentosos músicos que, por lo general, representan la imagen del éxito. Con humor desenfadado y un toque gamberro, Santi Giménez y Malcolm Otero te enseñan el lado más oscuro de esos genios que, muy probablemente, hayan formado parte de la banda sonora de tu vida.
