el profeta

luís sent me all these rockdrigo links recently, and an email that said: i consider him a working class revolutionary poet who really connects with the people...

i agree! and i'm surprised the beloved df roquero (epd) has not made an appearance here until now. oops! pues, better late than never.

i especially love this one, so mexico city ...

rockdrigo gonzález : balada del asalariado (ballad of the working man)

me asome a la ventana
y vi venir al cartero
me entretuve pensando
en una carta de amor.
mas no, no, no...
eran la cuenta del refri
y del televisor

...

me asome a mis adentros
solo vi viejos cuentos,
y una manera insolita
de sobrevivir
mire hacia todos lados
dije: dios que ha pasado?
nada muchacho
solo eres un asalariado

and this one, metro balderas. of course, performed in the estación balderas. classic.

you should check out the comments to his songs on youtube, so much love for this guy. mixed with sentimental laments about his death. mixed with complaints that the rocanrol of today isn't. so great, and really only he could elicit all that.

¡que viva rockrigo! thank you, luís!
