There's something there

I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

For the Zapatistas I'll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace

Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home

Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

  Gotta say, Northern New Mexico cuisine is really an art apart. Not Tex or generic Southwest. Agreed, food from the neighborhood is a blessing and a treat. My Santa Barbara neighbors were lovely and generous, and put up with my gringo espanol with grace and humor.

Archiving pics so more pics of me being a celebrity whore!
When I met Joe Strummer of the Clash. He was very chill, totally friendly, didn't treat anyone like he was better than them. I even got a hug from him!!
The gal that was part of his entourage took this pic and actually mailed it to us. Didn't expect to ever see it. Very, very cool.

Not unlike San Tropez by The Floyd, does this song transport it's listeners: for me, all the way down to a sandy caribe beach at dusk whilst a gentle breeze paired nicely with a lilting melody helps ease a very cool & refreshing mojito down me parched throat

This is better - and look at the comments, a real love it or hate it record.  Solid 6, maybe 7 from me (it's not my favourite sound but I'll defend Joe's right to make it)

Just because they use the same ingredients, know how to cook and love what they're doing does not mean the food will taste the same.

I've eaten the same ingredients in California, cooked by good cooks who love what they're doing, and there still is no comparison. California "Mexican" food is inferior to that served in New Mexico.

I like some of Joe Strummer's work, but this one misses the mark, IMHO.

WXPN, the University of Pennsylvania public radio station, has begun airing "Joe Strummer's London Calling", a BBC radio show he DJ'd in the late '90s. It's a kick to listen to the eclectic music he chose. XPN is available online at xpn.org (not to compete with RP or anything) and the show is on Tuesday nights at 8pm eastern. It's probably elsewhere as well, but thought some of you might be interested.

His last show was at Liverpool University on 22 November 2002, just a month before he died. On the same tour, Mick Jones jammed with Joe and the Mescaleros at the Fire Brigades Union benefit gig at Acton Town Hall on 15 November. They played Bankrobber and White Riot together. I wished I'd been there.

They sure did. The played five nights in a row at the Troubadour some years ago, and dug pretty deep into the Clash catalog every night... Never having seen the Clash live, seeing those five shows was pure bliss...
