Right up until the 1970’s, Mexico’s capital was simply called “City” (according to bloke down the pub).
For a country steeped in such history as the Maya civilisation, the Aztecs, avocados & mass production of the Volkswagen Beetle, some felt that City was a little inadequate & even equated to a mid table football team on a bad run of games.
This all changed in 1970 when officials, in a desperate search for a true identity for City inadvertently switched the office TV onto the motor sports channel & that’s when it came to them.
It was a thing of beauty. It had 4 (four) extra headlights, & it hovered. Yes, it was the legendary, world cup rally-winning Ford Escort Mexico.
This modified MkI RS1600 had taken the world by storm & captured the hearts of the City officials to such a degree, they added the name “Mexico” to the, somewhat vanilla sounding, “City” & history was made.
The last time The Cure played at Foro Sol, there was an earthquake shortly before the show. This, however did not deter our heroes as they took to the stage & effectively had a birthday party for Robert, playing no less than 50 songs over 4hours & 15minutes. Take that earthquake!
Heading there tonight will be fiveswinglive
madbobrjs , DarthBlood , charcoalface , olivier , Mr Mrs beto , gabocurefan & spiralcure all of whom, I’m pretty sure, will have their fill of tamales & Modelo before the fun begins.
So join with me in wishing them a terrific concert while we unleash memes & gifs through the night/ small hours.
Now, what with the concert poster being somewhat black & white, I think the next best option is the national flag for the setlist
