He visto el futuro de la Salsa y se llama Orquesta El Macabeo.
"I have seen the future of Rock and its name is Bruce Springsteen"
Con estas palabras se refirio el critico de musica de la revista "Rolling Stone"Jon Landau,cuando en el añ0 1974,vio al futuro"Boss"tocando en un pequeño night club de New jersey llamado El "Stone Pony".El resto es historia.
Yo lo voy a copiar y decir hoy que he visto el futuro de la Salsa y se llama"Orquesta El Macabeo" Esta orquesta compuesta de musicos jovenes con un backgound muy peculiar,estos muchachos vienen de la escena del Hardcore/Punk.
Escena que por mucho tiempo ha existido aqui en Puerto Rico,y la cual tiene muchos seguidores.
Estos jovenes han tomado sus experiencias y su mucho talento para brindarnos un verdadero banquete de la musica de Salsa,y lo peculiar es que no se parecen en nada a la mierda que las disqueras comerciales y las estaciones de Radio hoy empujan y tratan de pasar como Salsa,grupitos prefabricados,y compuestos de muchachitos"good looking"como NG2,etc.
La Macabeo interpreta musica original pero sin olvidar,las raices de la musica,y al escucharlos usted puede oir las influencias de los grandes,como el maestro Bobby Valentin,Ruben Blades,Tite Curet Alonso,Eddie Palmieri,etc.
Canciones como la titulada "El Supermercado",mantienen la jocosidad y el swing,que ninguno de los grupos salseros de ahora tienen.
Repito, estos no son chamaquitos bonitillos,sin ningun talento,y los cuales no saben ni tan siquiera que es la clave.
Yo les recomiendo a todo aquel que le guste la salsa"Old School" que vayan a la tienda mas cercana y compren esta magnifica produccion titulada"Salsa Macabra" la van a disfrutar al maximo,y como decia el gran Ray Barretto "Que viva la musica".

"Ma,Ma,Ma,There is a Troll in the closet.".
This is a true story,that actually happened,to a family,friend of one of our relatives.
This lady is a single parent of young man with Down Syndrome,he is in his 20's and is 6 feet tall.
One day she goes off to work and her son stays home,after a couple of hours she gets a phone call from her son,who tells her "Ma there is a troll in the closet",she tells him, son, there is no troll in the closet,the son keeps calling her throwout the day saying "Ma,Ma,Ma the Troll is trying to get out of the closet",and of course the mother keeps telling her son, not to fear that there is no troll in the closet.
In the afternoon when she gets home,she almost faints,her son had taken all the furniture from the living room and had put them against the closet door,as a barricade,the mother is all upset with her son and tells him to help her to put back all the furniture,to its original location,the son keeps insisting to his mom that there is a troll in the closet.
Finally,the mother goes to open the closet door to show her son that there is no one in the closet,to her surprise she finds a little person,sweating profusely,and very upset,that he has been locked in this closet for over 8 hours.
It seems that this person was a Jehovah's Witness,that early in the day had knocked in the door, and when the young man opened the door,never having seen a little person,got scared,grabbed him and threw him in the closet and barricaded the door,thinking that it was a troll.
She apologized,to the man in the closet,but he didn't want hear any of it.
And, that's the end of the story..

IT IS,MERRY CHRISTMAS, NOT HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
All of a sudden a very small but very loud minority in our country,wants to reverse our Christian tradition of celebrating the birth of the most important person of the last 2000 years,Yes, JESUS CHRIST,our Lord and Savior.
Well, we are a Christian nation, and have been celebrating Christmas for many years and should continue to do so,if you don't believe in our Christ and don't want to be associated or celebrate his birth with the majority of us that's fine,then you should show the rest of the world that you don't believe or celebrate his birth by doing the following:
1-On Dec 25 you go to work like any other day.
2-Don't give or RECEIVE gifts from anyone.(if you do then you are celebrating our tradition of giving gifts as way to celebrate the birth of Jesus).
3-Don't put up any Christmas decorations, including a tree,etc.
So, there you have it a great way for non believers to demonstrate that they are not like everyone else,but if you don't, then you are nothing but a HYPOCRITE.
Also, we don't go around telling other cultures which holidays they may or may not celebrate,or what traditions of theirs we don't like, and therefore they must change them in order to appease us.
l mean, personally think that going to Mecca two weeks every year,trampling on other people to trow rocks at a Stone,thinking that l am killing the devil is obsurd,but that its their tradition and l wouldn't dream of telling Muslims to change their beliefs,just cause l don't agree with them.
So stop trying to make us change, cause someone is gonna be offended.
If you are offended,well all l can say is TOO BAD...
To all my friends and enemies MERRY CHRITSMAS....

Labels and Contradictions
It never ceases to amazed me,how people get hung up on labels and beliefs that everyone must be identified according to their own narrow views of the world.
Descriptions such as Liberal or Conservative are obsolete as far as l am concerned.
For example, many of my friends cannot understand how can l find good and bad in different political issues that may seem totally opposite,lets see,if l write that Obama is making a mistake by attacking Fox news,my Right wing friends like it,my left wing friends think that l am some kind of dentally impaired fanatic, both are wrong, my point is that a free a press must be allowed to exists even when we don't agree with their editorial context,l am not taking sides.
When l write that l am all for the Health care reform that our president is trying to pass, then l am some kind of Socialist advocate ,again wrong, l am a thinking Capitalist who is not blinded by political dogma and can see that Health Reform is needed right now.
l don't see a conspiracy behind every rock,we need to open up our brains and learn to accept whats good about a political issue,and also see whats bad about it, and not to be afraid to say so regardless of what others may say or think,but always we must learn to have a different view, RESPECTING the other person beliefs.
It makes sad when people even families will not speak to each other,cause one is republican and the other is a democrat,or if you live here in Puerto Rico a Popular or a PNP,its crazy to go thru life hating and dissing people,because of a difference of opinions, when after all,NO ONE HAS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH,so lets be a bit more understanding and respectful of others beliefs.
And that's all l am gonna say about that.
