We lost “Chente”

Break out the best tequila, serve your finest glass and hoist it high, cabrones.

We lost Vincente Fernandez, the legendary mariachi king, yesterday.

I’ve seen grown men, bad ass pinche motherfuckers, cry when that man sang. I’ve had the honor of meeting him in the 80s, and he was a small tired Mexican. But when he sang….. you could see the man grow 2 feet taller and that voice of his boomed over space.

We lost a true king.

How dare you try to mock the Koala God!

Everyone knows I only mock those who were stubbornly against taking the vaccine then died from COVID.

Fool!

No short bus, whenever somebody dies you get all giddy and have to find out every detail. Which is so fucking disturbing.

I was at his safe house in Southern California where he was hiding out from the Mexican’s that wanted to ransom his fortune (and the IRS who wanted payment for money earned in the US.)

I knew I would be doing a “transport job” for someone who wanted to remain low key and discrete, but I practically wet myself when he walked in from the kitchen. I thought he was a gardener getting some water before heading back outside, and then I saw the mustache. That such a calm man had such a booming voice.

And you do not make requests from a guy on the same level of “audience command” like classic Sinatra. You let him sing whatever the fuck he wants to.

I dont mind it
If it's in another county where i cant hear fucking La Cucaracha one more time
Not right behind my chair while I'm sipping a Don Julio
Easiest just to pay the mariachis to go away
And, get some mellow narcocorridos going

Did Vincente die of Covid, i hope?

He fired from complications of injuries from a fall.

When I met him in the 80’s he was already old and tired. It’s just when he gets on stage he reinvigorates, and all those aches and pains go away.

And he will be remembered and loved for a long, long time.

No one will remember you, yellow.
