Mexican Hot Tamale Craving Music

As of late

and by that statement I mean

as of always

something has been bothering me.

Drive straight into the Nevada desert.

Turn off main highway.

Drive farther.

Middle of nowhere.

The Spanish station is still crystal clear.

And you’re so far

in the middle of nowhere that your radio

doesn’t even work.

For those who are confused—

Not the Enrique Iglesias Spanish music.

I’m talking

the Mexican cantina

make you crave hot tamales

Spanish music.

Which makes me wonder—

Why?
How do they do it?

And most importantly,

what are all the good radio stations

—you know the ones people actually listen to—

doing??

Am I really supposed to believe that

Spanish stations have some secret technology

that allows them to broadcast to…

everywhere??

My solution.

Growl angrily at the radio.

Flip haphazardly through static.

Settle on Mexican hot tamale craving music.

5 second lapse.

Elect to drive in silence.
