An obvious cultural reference/observation for a California band: Mexicans don’t name their dogs. This was the case in Mexico up to about a generation ago and usually common for Mexicans here in CA or southwest. You just named the “dog” (‘perro’ or ‘chucho’). No attachment, no loss. So I’ll be your dog, you will command and lead. We are nameless, unattached. We don’t really belong in anyone’s world. We can come undone, in our beliefs, life itself. |
