This was not the case before Feliciano’s Anthem

April 29th, 2006

felicianoAntes de que José Feliciano cantara su interpretación del “The Star-Spangled Banner”, era un tema poco hablado. ¿Cual es la diferencia entre “Nuestro Himno”, “We Are The World”, la versión de Jimi Hendrix, o cualquier otra?

“Today, it is common to hear our National Anthem performed in a stylized fashion. Some renditions are clearly better than others, still sparking some criticism. You will, however, notice that it is very acceptable, indeed admirable, to deliver an intensely personal interpretation of The National Anthem. ”

Hoosiers 2 - Mexico 0

April 19th, 2006

CabezasoLa selección U17 Mejicana de fútbol jugo un partido ayer frente a los Hoosiers de Indiana. Les admito que aunque le aplaudí a los mejicanos, quería que los Hossiers ganaran.

Antes de que me caigan encima por traición, déjenme explicarle por que. Primero, no soy de México. Segundo, Indiana perdió 2-1 frente a la misma selección el año pasado y yo no podría haber estado mas contento. Pero este año se me salio el Hoosier. Por mucho que critique y me queje de los gringos, yo soy un Hoosier; y no lo puedo negar. En algún momento hay que admitir que Indiana -por bien o por mal- nos ha cambiado, y que ya no estamos viviendo a los pies del Mar Caribe. En otras palabras, me he convertido en el propio LatiNOhoosier!

The vast majority of these numbers are attributable to undocumented workers who will never claim their benefits.”
