it was on this very spot that i stand that these two great and ancient cultures collided, usually in drunken revelry that ended in everyone doing the Macarena.
it was also on this very spot that i paid an old Conquistador $2 to sing my favorite war-time tribute to the event: "La Guantanamera", which he did using the same two chords he used for the last song and altho i couldnt make out his gummy old man spanish, i think he was singing,
"this gringo just paid me to sing him a song,
but he doesnt understand the lingo,
so i will sing it all wrong"
and then he goes into the chorus triumphantly:
"La Guantanamera! Ay, Ay! La Quantanamera!"
it was just like i had been there
ignore this plackard, its got the facts mixed up
