Vaya Con Muñoz 7.23.16
THis week I have 3 things to share: a full page ad touting the “ The Pros” at MSNBC. No doubt that Andrea Mitchell, Rachel Maddow, Chris Mathews and Chuck Todd are pros. But Brian Williams? And why is the self-proclaimed progressive televsion news and commentary cable channel only have white people as pros in its ad? Hmmm. Also, in real numbers, what the emigration from Puerto Rico means to the island’s economy. And, of course, Zika and Naled, that lethal mist that the government wants to spray everywhere to kill mosquitos — and whatever else is alive, one way or another. Filmmaker Larry Hott looks at the world of fashion through documentaries that also spotlight the politics and economics of that world seemingly tailored but for a few, yet gazillions of us wear clothes nonetheless. Watch trailers here: “ First Monday in May” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRFCVG85X_s“ Bill Cunnigham New York” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Je_jxIPl5Y“ Cave of Forgotten Dreams” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kULwsoCEd3gAnd Caetano Veloso sings us out with a sweet rendition of the Rafael Hernández 1929 masterpiece, “ Lamento Boricano,” (Puerto Rico’s Lament) a song many Puerto Ricans are singing these days.
