"Té para tres" - Soda Stereo.
La letra evoca el momento en que Gustavo Cerati, junto con su madre Lilian y su padre Juan José, debe enfrentarse a la noticia de la enfermedad de este último, un cáncer terminal que le ocasionaría la muerte un par de años después (1992). La canción relata cómo vivió Gustavo esa situación tan dolorosa.

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:
If you get your drinking water from an underground well, it may be contaminated with toxic forever chemicals.
A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found at least one perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) in 20 percent of private wells and 60 percent of public wells in 16 states in the Eastern U.S.
“This should set off alarm bells for anyone relying on private well water,” Environmental Working Group (EWG) vice-president of government affairs Scott Faber told The Guardian. “One out of five people getting their water from wells could be drinking PFAS – that’s a big number.”
The research was published in Environmental Science & Technology early this month. In 2019, the USGS collected 254 samples from five aquifer systems used as drinking water. The water was then tested for 24 different PFAS, 14 of which were detected.
Among the most frequently detected were PFOA, PFOS and PFBS, which are some of the most well-studied and well-known PFAS, according to EWG. In general, PFAS are a concern because they have been widely used by industry as stain, heat or water repellants and because they have been linked to various health impacts including cancer, birth defects, liver disease, thyroid disease, hormone interference and immune suppression, according to The Guardian. They also take a long time to break down and therefore remain in the environment, earning them the nickname forever chemicals.
