MOURNING MUSE
Images
It is common knowledge that behind every good person, there is a greater one to provide motivation, love, support, and inspiration.
However, there are moments when moody artists and songwriters get hurt and want out. Other times they're sincere and grounded with their odes, lambasts, laments, or love letters to their ex muse sometimes when music is at its very best. They call upon a special feeling and a deeper sense of introspection that goes beyond noodling away in the studio until you have crafted something resembling a song.
SABOR A MI

While rebuilding Spanish language Television, I was attracted to a New Mexican motion picture that I wish to share with you today.
In 1987 I left NBC News for Noticiero SIN which soon became Univision and then NetSpan which was rebranded Telemundo. That same year, the following film was released by Televisa, my former employer, which has owned Unisiovion off and on over the years.

AJA in ASIA

While traveling to Asia I had the pleasure of listening to the following complete work of their album Steely Dan for the first time.
It was many years ago, but long after Shanghai was a small fishing village. But thanks to its location by the southern section of the Yangtze River, it has since grown to be the biggest city in China, and one of the largest in the entire world.
MOUTH vs MOUSE

The Disney Corporation sues Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and officials over 'targeted campaign of government retaliation'
While Mickey appears to be happy and gay, there is no way Disney will allow Ronnie's disaster to push him away without something to say through legal challenges. MoRon Disaster is pretty petty and very vindictive rather than strong or decisive.
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

WHO'S A CABRON?
Images
Cabrón is Spanish for a male goat, However, Latinos have always been very clever, and earthy, with our use of slang expressions.
Goats have a reputation for eating anything, hence their association with the lowly likes of a tough guy. But, as is often the case in slang, negative words can get a positive spin. Think bad, sick, ill, or wicked in English. This inversion also took place for cabrón, which evolved to name someone like Ass-Donlini.
