A Rock & Roll in the Hay!
I hate Reggaeton. I also hate Rap music but it's Reggaeton that I hear so much when I'm in Colombia. I can listen to it if I have to for a little while but I feel so much better when it's over.
Anyway, I had a session with this girl recently. Was good and all but what really made her stand out in my mind was her love for Rock music. I found this out because I still travel with a pack of my favorite Rock CD's and a small CD player with speakers. Yes I know it's nearing antique status but it still sounds great.
So, this girl was looking at some of my CD collection and she asks me if she can play a couple of songs from one of the CD's. I said ok, and she puts one in the CD player and skips through some songs searching for the ones she wanted to hear. Turns out the CD was Aerosmith's 'Get Your Wings'. And what was were the songs she wanted to hear? Train kept a Rollin and Seasons of Wither. Imagine that, I thought. Those are my two favorite songs on that CD as well.
So, we lay there listening to Joe Perry's powerful guitar work and of course Steven Tyler's unique singing style on Train Kept a Rollin. She imitated the drumming during the part where it goes from studio to 'live crowd'. Pretty cool watching a naked Colombian girl air drumming!
The song after Train kept a Rollin is Seasons of Wither. It actually has a long haunting intro that eventually leads to an acoustic guitar and then just kicks out a mellow yet kick ass tune. A great tune, I found, to make out to as well with a willing partner.
Skipping the sordid bedroom details, after we were all showered and dressed, I asked the girl how she knew of Aerosmith. She told me that her dad was into rock and would listen to a lot of Aerosmith so she got to liking them but only their older music. She said she didn't like their newer music. Funny thing is, I don't either.
Stay horny my friends.

Looking for Bar La Veinte (Cali) or Atunes (Bogota) type places in Medellin.
I'll be coming to MDE for a couple of weeks. I've had a mad mad time in Bogota and Cali. I love the big bars, cheap and skuzzy where I may be the only gringo. I haven't been to Medellin in the last 10 years when I left the real world in a place called Mangos. I think it was Mangos or Mangroves or something like that. I drank a lot back then. Know any such places? Tanks!
