4. a) What are the musician's feelings about that? He’s sorry because he is really bad. He can´t control his feelings and he has no idea about what is happening to him. He needs something to forget everything but it is not the correct thing. He can't control his body and neither his brain. He feels very strange.

5. b) What are the group’s feelings about the song? Explain Why? We think that is a bad and strange thing. He doesn´t know what he is doing and it isn´t OK. Maybe he likes to forget something or maybe he wants to be a better person. But really it shouldn´t be the form. People believe that can live better doing it, but it is impossible. We know it brings consequences.

6. c) What's the song about? The song is about what happens when a person consumes some drugs. About how a person feel when he does it.

7. 2.Look the information about the rock band:

8. a) Did they have any problems with drugs? The only musician in the group that had problems with drugs was Dee Dee Ramone, who died for this. He was forty-nine years. It is thought that he died of an overdose of injectable drug. This episode happened in 2002. Dee Dee had had problems with the heroin and cocaine during almost fifteen years until knew his wife, Barbara.

9. b) Listen again and number the piece of advice the song give you. The drugs destroy the body totally. When you consume it, you don´t know what you are doing. They make people feel unhealthly. You don´t know what to do and neither where you should go. You can´t control yourself. And you like more of that, you can´t stop.
