One Girl Revolution

Due to a scheduling conflict, our company had its Cinco de Mayo party today. This means I'm not longer craving junk food, but I think I've also reached critical mass. There will be no need to eat for days. Blug.

Anyway, I've decided that the time has come to resurrect a time-honored tradition on this here blog - FRIDAY ROCKS! That's right - five videos featuring only the best music by the finest artists, all centered around a theme of my choosing. Given the occasion, I've decided to go with Mexican and Mexican-American musicians. It's not just flamenco and mariachis, kids! Enjoy!

Rodrigo y Gabriella


Los Lobos


Rage Against the Machine (via Zach de la Rocha)


Santana


Joan Baez (with Bob Dylan - he gets a pass today)

Boys from Boston!




Spiders from Mars! (And is it just me, or is Mick Ronson chronically underrated as a guitarist?)




Sweet Transvestites from Transylvania!




Boys from London...



...and from New York!

Baby Zeppelin!




Guitar-o-vision!



Extreme Political Incorrectness!



(I worry that they'll revoke my Bleeding Heart Liberal status every time I hear this song, but I LOVE it because it ROCKS and I can SING IT.)

White jumpsuits in Black Sabbath!



(That one goes out to all my Cincy peeps!)

Can you tell that last night's Rock Hall class focused on bands of the 70s and 80s?
