O ícone “Vídeos Relacionados” do YouTube é um verdadeiro rastro na Ilha do Tesouro.
Quando não se procura nada sobre tags como Automobilismo, George Harrison, Fórmula 1, simplificando, nada de Beatles e Esportes, você olha para o canto direito e uma descrição, com cara de título para vídeo que alguém utiliza para mostrá-lo na doença da autofilmagem, quase o engana: George Harrison – Faster.
Provável que vá se deparar com o protagonista adoentado do parágrafo anterior, então vem o oposto e a confirmação de que o beatle oriental cheirava a gasolina!
Um grande vídeo, ambientado na Fórmula 1 em que os pilotos faziam valer a fama de loucos por velocidade… e por conseguinte, dinheiro. Hoje, esta ordem é basicamente invertida, os carros são muito desiguais e tenhamos medo do músico que homenagearia o Circo atual. Shhhhh, as sugestões ficam ao critério do leitor.
Aliás, nos caracteres de ‘Faster’ explica a inspiração em Niki Lauda e Jackie Stewart (chofer de George na historieta do filme). É dedicado ao Circo, agradece a Jody Scheckter e segue em memória de Ronnie Peterson. Todos eles, para os desavisados, pilotos da época. E com o brasuca Copersucar, com o Rato Fittipaldi, em giro alto!
Incensos no asfalto! (Ricardo S.)

#Faster #GeorgeHarrison #Ultrasónico141
Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it – people became his friend
Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked ’til the pieces fit
The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He’d realized their dreams
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it’s true they say
He’s the master of going faster
Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare
Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail
The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He’d realized their dreams
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it’s true they say
He’s the master of going faster
No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams
Faster than a bullet
