Can we talk about Guanajuato?

Apology accepted.

Regarding song lyrics .... before lyrics turned into chants, indecipherable mumbling and grade school rhymes, our song lyrics were the only poetry of our time. Apparently the lighthearted dreams of many a Gringo and perhaps the financial ruin that accompanies them were enough to cause two very talented song writers to feel them worthy of making a commercial stab with a song about it, so to me that has value. If not, I don't believe anyone made it mandatory reading.

And again those people who normally want to attack me for trying to ask people to take a good look before selling out and moving to another country where things are quite different, suggesting that they think carefully about it, well like I may have said or forgotten to, most of them are either patriotic to their new choice of a home and think this talk is insulting them personality, they have a drinking problem and when I say that many a Gringo falls into drinking circles while at a loss to really embrace his new home (what person who drinks too much ever says, hey, thanks for the advise?), or they have something to sell and the more people they can get to buy their products, the happier they are. Otherwise most people say, humm, interesting - here's what I think about it.

Of course nothing would really be fun these days without a lot of reality TV scripting thrown in - so why not? LOL

Cheers and I hope everyone finds what they are looking for here (or so be it) don't find what they aren't. :-)

"The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
They're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies"

Joni Mitchell - "The Last Time I Saw Richard" from the album "Blue"
