I don't speak a lick of Spanish so I have no idea what they are saying in this song. I guess I could have looked it up on Google but I prefer to just listen to the music and dig the feeling, the sights and sounds I think of when I lay back and drink down an ice cold Imperial.
I guess of thought of this song because in a few weeks I'll be taking a drive out west, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah; some of my favorite places in the world. The most wide, epic and forbidden places in this great country. I am heading out there with a great friend in a Kerouacian-Thompson type road trip to explore the land and ourselves.
This song came to my attention in the movie "Fandango" and early Kevin Costner film about four friends and a college road trip in the time of the Vietnam War. Not many people have seen the film but it is a pearl, and the ending is beautiful on a lot of different levels.
I am not quite sure what I'll find out there but every trip I make such as this I find something, and while I am not going on a visit to see Dom (watch the movie), the experience and meaning remains the same.
