Amante de Sol

"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."........................................................... ~Hunter S.

25 Years & One Awesome Birthday Concert!

*Click Photos to Enlarge*
Not really in focus, but the first time I saw Los Lobos (was July 2, 1984 at First Avenue in Minneapolis when they opened for The Blasters - That was an awesome night. Tonight (SHOW: Sat Aug 08 '09 @ Bayfront Blues Festival Duluth, MN) they played headliner at Blues Festival here and even with a small rain delay - they rocked my birthday!
Listen here.
"It became a mission, almost a crusade ... bringing music together to bring people together." — Los Lobos's Louie Pérez.

Stagehands get to work drying things off so the band can restart. YAY!
