talk american

so latin magik was playing at the market last night
and this customer comes up and says,
"i have a complaint about the band.

"instrumentally, they're ok. but vocally...
we live in america, and you need to find somebody
who does what they do, but _in english_."

my coworker and i were stunned.
"guy seems real upset about the immigration issue,"
he said tactfully.

i said, "nah, it just goes to show
that winston churchill was right when he said,
'it doesn't _take_ all kinds, there just _are_ all kinds.'"

I saw them last night (8/11/07), and they were very good. I don't know any Spanish whatsoever, but really don't care. Good music, is good music. They had a 14 year old kid, Jesse Vick, play guitar during the breaks, and he was AWESOME! The kid played "The Thrill is gone" and other stuff and he blew the crowd away! Look for his name in the future.
