My wife is in mourning. She dearly loved him.
I saw him one time in traffic headed East toward Palm Springs on the 10 Freeway. I couldn’t believe it but it was indeed him, all bug-eyed driving his Jaguar.

Westy did you see the Juan Gabriel procession from Westchester to LAX? The media called him the Mexican Elvis. Let’s count the ways he compared to Elvis: Elvis was washed up long before he died at age 42. Juan Gabriel at age 66 was a star up until the day he died on Sunday – yesterday. He wrote his own songs which were probably in the thousands over a space of 40+ years. Elvis tended to hog hit songs, JG wrote music of various genres for many artists.

To call Juan Gabriel the Mexican Elvis is akin to calling Putin the Russian Trump.

Nevermind, Westy, it was all a sham. I’m really pissed oof right now. It turns out the motherfucking relatives had his body cremated on Monday all the while they bullshitted the public with a small caravan headed to a private terminal at LAX.

My wife says it was his last wish, then she adds that well, they can say anything now.

They had that bitch Celia Cruz, who the fuck was she? They had her caravan going all around the USA for the public to pay their respects and say goodbye to the ‘huarachera’. She had something like ten hits songs.

Juan Gabriel had thousands of hits.

Dang those fuckers. My wife said the Mexicans are more pissed off about that than they are about Donald Trump invading Mexico for a day. OK, she didn’t mention Trump, but she said they were pissed because several towns like Juarez, paraquaro and even Mexico City were vying for burial rights, claiming him as their own hometown boy.

Why would they cremate him, I ask my wife, because he was gay? Who the fuck says they are any better? There isn’t one sin greater than another..

Everybody loved him, even if he was gay, they didn’t care, she replied.

A dedication to JG:

I KNOW THAT YOU WILL GO
Today I awakened
with much sadness
knowing that tomorrow
you are going to leave
I swear, my life
that thinking of us
I spent the whole night
almost without sleep.
Cause I know that you will go
that perhaps you won’t return
that they be so sad
my mornings if you go
when will you return
to my arms again
an eternity
I think that I will lose
Now I know my love
that you’ll go, you’ll go
the hour has come
we must say goodbye
I wish you luck
’til never my love
adios amor, adios amor, adios amor
adios amor, adios amor, adios amor, adios amor, adios amor,
adios amor
adiooooooos aaaamooooor

[Spoilers?]

Many funny scenes in the original Producers (1967). At the end Leo Bloom is selling shares of the new play Prisoners of Love to his fellow convicts.

Still cherish watching WW with my now adult kids, 25 years after the original movie was made. The psychedelic boat ride was the best along with the :”you lose, you get nothing. Good day SIR!
