Last night my friend Rick and I went to Pala Casino to see Alejandra Guzman. Rick is such a good guy! He is very intelligent, a bit of a wise ass, completely handsome, genuinely kind and just a complete joy. He is also just a kid but I am happy to have such a great friend. I learned ages ago that age really has no meaning in a real friendship.Alejandra Guzman was out of control greatness! I guess the best way to describe her would be to take Pat Benetar, mix in a bunch of Joan Jett, generous portions of Cher, unbelievable but true a dash of Carol Channing and huge amount of Mexican spice - voila there you go.
Rick has loved her since he was a small boy and this is the first time he has seen her live so he was beside himself. In addition to dancing all over the place he did stop for a bit and tears came to his eyes. Not out of control weeping - just a little misty eyed. All those times that he wrapped up in her extremely passionate songs - it just got to him for a minute. It was incredibly sweet and made me even happier to be there.
It also reminded me of the time when I cried at a show and the time when Tom Lagg cried at a show. I want to share both those moments but am tired now and have a long day a head of me so I will return to blog another day about those moments.
For the curious here is a link to one of her videos:
