Miguel Bosé, Covid and drugs. Miguel’s anger | Gramellini’s Coffee

The interview with which a grim Miguel Bos returned to the world to counteract the world after years of bearable absence has left us all breathless. Someone will say: why give importance to the delusions of a singer of very light music, and not even one of the most memorable? Because it is part of the nostalgic load of a couple of generations. Because he was the idol of many teenagers and the son-in-law of all mothers. Everything about him seemed illuminated: the winning smile, the good bully movements. And then the charm of those mythological loins, mother diva and father torero, the modern version of Ariadne and Theseus. From those premises of light we arrived at this dark lord, convinced that he is on a mission on behalf of Io. A denier who not only does not wear a mask, but also pretends that the interviewer does not wear it either. A conspiracy theorist who as soon as he is asked to argue his allusions replies: I do not feel I am the holder of the truth. what I tell the truth !. A fanatic who, when asked to show respect for the dead of the pandemic, rolls his eyes and shouts: If something causes death, why should I respect it more?

I don’t know if it was drugs, or life in general, that reduced a poster of adolescence. I want to delude myself that he was acting. Perhaps the interview was an audition to get the part of a keyboard hater in a TV series that the young Miguel Bos would never have watched.
