New Boss
The new maintenance director started work this week. Before he started, several employees told me that he doesn't speak english. Turns out he does speak english. He's just Mexican is all. He's also probably about 24 years old. He told me that he is a drummer in a band that plays "Mexican Rock and Roll". I don't know what Mexican rock and roll is exactly. I figure it's probably like surf-rock, or that song "Tequila". Well, I just found out something interesting about "Mexican Rock"-
"Many Mexican rock stars became involved in the counterculture. The three-day Festival Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro, held in 1971, was organized in the valley of Avándaro near the city of Toluca, a town neighboring Mexico City, and became known as "The Mexican Woodstock".
In that rock festival, nudity, open sex, drug use, profanity/ obscenity, and the presence of the American flag so scandalized conservative Mexican society that the government imposed cultural curbs in Mexican pop music on a temporary basis. The festival, intended to emulate Woodstock and Altamont, was never expected to attract the masses it did, and the government had to evacuate stranded attendees en masse at the end of the festival."
