The 70’s saw the end of the Vietnam War, Wheel Of Fortune‘s debut, and the release of much marvelous music.
Everybody, from Bob Dylan to Elton John, was taking on the charts. If you were in school during this time, you definitely remember this hit song.
This song is about accepting people regardless of where they come from or what they look like. The tune was played in outer space for a project between the Soviet Union and the U.S.
One of the band member once told a journalist I like exemplary people around me. I don’t judge you by your name, your color, or your money. I judge you by whether or not you’re an exemplary person.
Years later, while working is DC for USIA TV I had the opportunity to meet War backstage at Blues Alley. I shocked the members and freaked the out when I asked why they did not play Fidel's Fantasy.

Then to add to my circle, I moved to Lake Amistad (Friendship), on the edge of the Rio Grande to build TV!0 in Del Rio-Eagle Pass, Texas but failed to meet The Cisco Kid. However, years later, one my grand-children is now known as The Frisco Kid and he is without a doubt, my favorite grandson.

And so it goes.
