Hey, have you read that book about the history of narcocorridos? I can’t remember who wrote it. I only remember that the cover of the book had a lot of yellow on it, and that they wrote a LOT about Chalino Sanchez. It was a fantastic book, and judging from your likes and dislikes, I think you would dig it. Your website is awesome!

Yes Reading, I suppose it does sound odd, nor is it defendable or explainable – overall a sad affair on many levels, but for an older gentlemen who use to live on the edge on a regular basis it was a brief re-visit to a more exciting time when paying attention to your surroundings counts; even when your supposedly relaxing at a state side bar.

I miss Mexico and all the border towns that I use to frequent as younger man – truly is sad that you are considered crazy for visiting in today’s enviroment. I had no reason to go, I just wanted to go spend some of my money down there to show support, drink some tequila, eat some cabrito and howl. Kinda of the theme (at least my interpertation) of Guns & Tacos

“Sounds awesome.” I’m confused, is watching 3rd worlders try to decide whether or not they should murder each other at a border town bar awesome? I’m genuinely confused about the excitement/intentions here.

Was in Laredo a couple of weeks ago. Tension is thick. Forgot to make room arrangements, called La Posada at eight in the everning on a Friday night – walked right in, no reservations required. Paid $100 for a room over looking the pool. Back in the day I would have paid $270 for the same room and would have had to make reservations 2 weeks in advance. Went to drink in the bar, Everyone studing the other guy hard. Young Mexican gentlemen staring, figuring, estimating the others. It was great! Just like I would imagine the streets of Lardeo in the 1800’s

Thanks for the primer. There’s a show called Breaking Bad on AMC about a chemistry teacher who gets cancer and decides to manufacture meth to pay for the treatments and leave something for his family. As an intro for one of the episodes last year they commissioned a song and music video from Los Cuates de Sinaloa, and that was my first introduction to narcocorrido. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L1rWWWZnxs Great show.
