I am really sad. I had to go to LA and couldn’t come on time to see (and hear) Mr. Vern’s concert… my main interest this time was to hear the versions of one of the greatest musicians and poets of the Latin American music, Silvio Rodriguez who I discovered during my youth years (now I am 47) and since then one of my favourite artists. Mr. Vern, hopefully, you keep making renditions of Silvio’s songs……… how about “Y nada mas” on your next concert?

Rintrah,

What are you talking about? This blog is one of the hottest political blogs in California. If any blog is dying it is the Liberal OC. And I don’t think Red County is going to fare well in what is today a very blue country.

Gee, CeeBee, you underscore the vitriol point precisely. Tell us instead what you stand for and how do you propose achieving it?

See, I could make a big deal of your idea that one speaks “Mexican,” but instead, I’m going to conjure up a positive! If we all ate our share of crow for our collective lack of humility and imperfections, we could rid the aviary population of a very prolific and nasty freaking bird!

How do you say “that crow was delicious” in Mexican?

Comrade bloggers, taking into account today’s despair and discord
I want to ask: it’s urgent to me
What words do we write? What message do we bring?
When much of our writing becomes vitriol
When blame spews so abundantly to fuel such hatred and animosity
Let us write our story, the men and women of Orange County
Celebrating our likeness, goodness and empathy.

Okay, please don’t laugh at my silly stanza. I have awakened with the perspective that although argument is healthy and good, we spend a hell of a lot of time pointing out what’s wrong with everything and everyone’s point of view rather than using our collective brain power to offer solutions to the problems we face …

This was a refreshing post, Vern. I’d never heard of Rodriguez – I like the idea of the wise folks who write and read this blog offering up their sources of inspiration! Unfortunately, I don’t think I have anyone to offer you all haven’t already heard of, but I’ll keep thinking!!
