bearer of bad tidings
I'm have little doubt that you and I, my dear reader, share some hazy drunken stoned wacked out of your gourd memories of a wild and wacky rock and roll night.
It has been significantly more than awhile. By my math, at least a decade plus ago.
But a good time is always a good time, and good man will always be a good man.

S.A. Mourns the Passing of Legendary Taco Land Owner
Friends, family, and music fans are mourning the death of a San Antonio icon. Ramiro “Ram” Ayala ran Taco Land, a bar known for helping develop and showcase countless musicians. He was shot to death Thursday night during a robbery.“It's a sad day in the music business,” explains booking agent Roland Fuentes. “Tacoland was Ram. His attitude. His style.”
Taco Land is known worldwide; legendary for live music and it's unusual owner. If you listen to San Antonio music, you know about the small bar with character on W. Grayson Street just north of downtown. Patrons knew Ayala, 72, as a gruff curmudgeon of a bartender – with a heart of gold. He opened his one of kind bar to everyone from the homeless to rich college kids. Everyone was welcome.
Sometimes even I hate the world I live in.
You'll understand when you go on down to Tacoland.
