Keyboardist: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPODCAST AM MEMORIESToday's topic is Rupert Holmes. Before we dive in, I want to give a big shout out to all my listeners. Your support means a lot. Now let's get started.I want to talk about songwriter, Rupert Holmes and his hit song Escape (The Piña Colada song). This tune is a catchy melody and story. I would sing this song with my family listening to AM not knowing what a Piña Colada was when I was a little girl. The song is wrapped up in a tropical cocktail of a story.Released in 1979 as the lead single from Holmes' fifth studio album Partners in Crime. This gem had the billboard folks buzzing with excitement, and no wonder! Radio stations across the country were picking it up quicker than you)d snag a cold drink on a hot Summer day. By the end of December 1979 p, it became the last number one single of the decade. Talk about making a splash.Less unravel this delightful story shall we? The man is weary from the humdrum of a routine relationship. Finds himself daydreaming of escape. He's out there seeking something new, something refreshing, and boy, does he find it in the pages of the personal ads. Who among us hasn't experienced that thirst for a little adventure? Holmes taps into that universal feeling with vivid storytelling.When our hero discovers an ad from a woman seeking someone who enjoys Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain, he can't resist. I mean, who wouldn't be fascinated? The lyrics paint a picture of longing, anticipation, and that all too familiar search for connection in the bustling of life.And here is the beautiful twist - when they finally meet, it's not just a flirtatious rendezvous. Surprise, surprise!  The woman is none other than the current partner. What started as a quest for novelty turns into a celebration of the love they've already had.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the podcast AM memories on the CAT BEAR. Rupert Holmes: The Joyful Journey (Escape) is todays topic.

Lotus: From Yoga to Software

Nelumbo nucifera, or the sacred lotus, is a plant that grows in flood plains, rivers, and deltas. Their seeds can remain dormant for years and when floods come along, blossom into a colony of plants and flowers. Some of the oldest seeds can be found in China, where they're known to represent longevity. No surprise, given their level of nitrition and connection to the waters that irrigated crops by then. They also grow in far away lands, all the way to India and out to Australia. The flower is sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism, and further back in ancient Egypt. Padmasana is a Sanskrit term meaning lotus, or Padma, and Asana, or posture. The Pashupati seal from the Indus Valley civilization shows a diety in what's widely considered the first documented yoga pose, from around 2,500 BCE. 2,700 years later (give or take a century), the Hindu author and mystic Patanjali wrote a work referred to as the Yoga Sutras. Here he outlined the original asanas, or sitting yoga poses. The Rig Veda, from around 1,500 BCE, is the oldest currently known Vedic text. It is also the first to use the word “yoga”. It describes songs, rituals, and mantras the Brahmans of the day used - as well as the Padma. Further Vedic texts explore how the lotus grew out of Lord Vishnu with Brahma in the center. He created the Universe out of lotus petals. Lakshmi went on to grow out of a lotus from Vishnu as well. It was only natural that humans would attempt to align their own meditation practices with the beautiful meditatios of the lotus. By the 300s, art and coins showed people in the lotus position. It was described in texts that survive from the 8th century. Over the centuries contradictions in texts were clarified in a period known as Classical Yoga, then Tantra and and Hatha Yoga were developed and codified in the Post-Classical Yoga age, and as empires grew and India became a part of the British empire, Yoga began to travel to the west in the late 1800s. By 1893, Swami Vivekananda gave lectures at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago.  More practicioners meant more systems of yoga. Yogendra brought asanas to the United States in 1919, as more Indians migrated to the United States. Babaji's kriya yoga arrived in Boston in 1920. Then, as we've discussed in previous episodes, the United States tightened immigration in the 1920s and people had to go to India to get more training. Theos Bernard's Hatha Yoga: The Report of a Personal Experience brought some of that knowledge home when he came back in 1947. Indra Devi opened a yoga studio in Hollywood and wrote books for housewives. She brought a whole system, or branch home. Walt and Magana Baptiste opened a studio in San Francisco. Swamis began to come to the US and more schools were opened. Richard Hittleman began to teach yoga in New York and began to teach on television in 1961. He was one of the first to seperate the religious aspect from the health benefits. By 1965, the immigration quotas were removed and a wave of teachers came to the US to teach yoga. The Beatles went to India in 1966 and 1968, and for many Transcendental Meditation took root, which has now grown to over a thousand training centers and over 40,000 teachers. Swamis opened meditation centers, institutes, started magazines, and even magazines. Yoga became so big that Rupert Holmes even poked fun of it in his song “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” in 1979. Yoga had become part of the counter-culture, and the generation that followed represented a backlash of sorts. A common theme of the rise of personal computers is that the early pioneers were a part of that counter-culture. Mitch Kapor graduated high school in 1967, just in time to be one of the best examples of that. Kapor built his own calculator in as a kid before going to camp to get his first exposure to programming on a Bendix. His high school got one of the 1620 IBM minicomputers and he got the bug. He went off to Yale at 16 and learned to program in APL and then found Computer Lib by Ted Nelson and learned BASIC. Then he discovered the Apple II.  Kapor did some programming for $5 per hour as a consultant, started the first east coast Apple User Group, and did some work around town. There are generations of people who did and do this kind of consulting, although now the rates are far higher. He met a grad student through the user group named Eric Rosenfeld who was working on his dissertation and needed some help programming, so Kapor wrote a little tool that took the idea of statistical analysis from the Time Shared Reactive Online Library, or TROLL, and ported it to the microcomputer, which he called Tiny Troll.  Then he enrolled in the MBA program at MIT. He got a chance to see VisiCalc and meet Bob Frankston and Dan Bricklin, who introduced him to the team at Personal Software. Personal Software was founded by Dan Fylstra and Peter Jennings when they published Microchips for the KIM-1 computer. That led to ports for the 1977 Trinity of the Commodore PET, Apple II, and TRS-80 and by then they had taken Bricklin and Franston's VisiCalc to market. VisiCalc was the killer app for those early PCs and helped make the Apple II successful. Personal Software brought Kapor on, as well as Bill Coleman of BEA Systems and Electronic Arts cofounder Rich Mellon. Today, software developers get around 70 percent royalties to publish software on app stores but at the time, fees were closer to 8 percent, a model pulled from book royalties. Much of the rest went to production of the box and disks, the sales and marketing, and support. Kapor was to write a product that could work with VisiCalc. By then Rosenfeld was off to the world of corporate finance so Kapor moved to Silicon Valley, learned how to run a startup, moved back east in 1979, and released VisiPlot and VisiTrend in 1981. He made over half a million dollars in the first six months in royalties.  By then, he bought out Rosenfeld's shares in what he was doing, hired Jonathan Sachs, who had been at MIT earlier, where he wrote the STOIC programming language, and then went to work at Data General. Sachs worked on spreadsheet ideas at Data General with a manager there, John Henderson, but after they left Data General, and the partnership fell apart, he worked with Kapor instead. They knew that for software to be fast, it needed to be written in a lower level language, so they picked the Intel 8088 assembly language given that C wasn't fast enough yet. The IBM PC came in 1981 and everything changed. Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs started Lotus in 1982. Sachs got to work on what would become Lotus 1-2-3. Kapor turned out to be a great marketer and product manager. He listened to what customers said in focus groups. He pushed to make things simpler and use less jargon. They released a new spreadsheet tool in 1983 and it worked flawlessly on the IBM PC and while Microsoft had Multiplan and VisCalc was the incumbent spreadsheet program, Lotus quickly took market share from then and SuperCalc. Conceptually it looked similar to VisiCalc. They used the letter A for the first column, B for the second, etc. That has now become a standard in spreadsheets. They used the number 1 for the first row, the number 2 for the second. That too is now a standard. They added a split screen, also now a standard. They added macros, with branching if-then logic. They added different video modes, which could give color and bitmapping. They added an underlined letter so users could pull up a menu and quickly select the item they wanted once they had those orders memorized, now a standard in most menuing systems. They added the ability to add bar charts, pie charts, and line charts. One could even spread their sheet across multiple monitors like in a magazine. They refined how fields are calculated and took advantage of the larger amounts of memory to make Lotus far faster than anything else on the market. They went to Comdex towards the end of the year and introduced Lotus 1-2-3 to the world. The software could be used as a spreadsheet, but the 2 and 3 referred to graphics and database management. They did $900,000 in orders there before they went home. They couldn't even keep up with the duplication of disks. Comdex was still invitation only. It became so popular that it was used to test for IBM compatibility by clone makers and where VisiCalc became the app that helped propel the Apple II to success, Lotus 1-2-3 became the app that helped propel the IBM PC to success. Lotus was rewarded with $53 million in sales for 1983 and $156 million in 1984. Mitch Kapor found himself. They quickly scaled from less than 20 to 750 employees. They brought in Freada Klein who got her PhD to be the Head of Employee Relations and charged her with making them the most progressive employer around. After her success at Lotus, she left to start her own company and later married. Sachs left the company in 1985 and moved on to focus solely on graphics software. He still responds to requests on the phpBB forum at dl-c.com. They ran TV commercials. They released a suite of Mac apps they called Lotus Jazz. More television commercials. Jazz didn't go anywhere and only sold 20,000 copies. Meanwhile, Microsoft released Excel for the Mac, which sold ten times as many. Some blamed the lack os sales on the stringent copy protection. Others blamed the lack of memory to do cool stuff. Others blamed the high price. It was the first major setback for the young company.  After a meteoric rise, Kapor left the company in 1986, at about the height of their success. He  replaced himself with Jim Manzi. Manzi pushed the company into network applications. These would become the center of the market but were just catching on and didn't prove to be a profitable venture just yet. A defensive posture rather than expanding into an adjacent market would have made sense, at least if anyone knew how aggressive Microsoft was about to get it would have.  Manzi was far more concerned about the millions of illegal copies of the software in the market than innovation though. As we turned the page to the 1990s, Lotus had moved to a product built in C and introduced the ability to use graphical components in the software but not wouldn't be ported to the new Windows operating system until 1991 for Windows 3. By then there were plenty of competitors, including Quattro Pro and while Microsoft Excel began on the Mac, it had been a showcase of cool new features a windowing operating system could provide an application since released for Windows in 1987. Especially what they called 3d charts and tabbed spreadsheets. There was no catching up to Microsoft by then and sales steadily declined. By then, Lotus released Lotus Agenda, an information manager that could be used for time management, project management, and as a database. Kapor was a great product manager so it stands to reason he would build a great product to manage products. Agenda never found commercial success though, so was later open sourced under a GPL license. Bill Gross wrote Magellan there before he left to found GoTo.com, which was renamed to Overture and pioneered the idea of paid search advertising, which was acquired by Yahoo!. Magellan cataloged the internal drive and so became a search engine for that. It sold half a million copies and should have been profitable but was cancelled in 1990. They also released a word processor called Manuscript in 1986, which never gained traction and that was cancelled in 1989, just when a suite of office automation apps needed to be more cohesive.  Ray Ozzie had been hired at Software Arts to work on VisiCalc and then helped Lotus get Symphony out the door. Symphony shipped in 1984 and expanded from a spreadsheet to add on text with the DOC word processor, and charts with the GRAPH graphics program, FORM for a table management solution, and COM for communications. Ozzie dutifully shipped what he was hired to work on but had a deal that he could build a company when they were done that would design software that Lotus would then sell. A match made in heaven as Ozzie worked on PLATO and borrowed the ideas of PLATO Notes, a collaboration tool developed at the University of Illinois Champagne-Urbana  to build what he called Lotus Notes.  PLATO was more more than productivity. It was a community that spanned decades and Control Data Corporation had failed to take it to the mass corporate market. Ozzie took the best parts for a company and built it in isolation from the rest of Lotus. They finally released it as Lotus Notes in 1989. It was a huge success and Lotus bought Iris in 1994. Yet they never found commercial success with other socket-based client server programs and IBM acquired Lotus in 1995. That product is now known as Domino, the name of the Notes 4 server, released in 1996. Ozzie went on to build a company called Groove Networks, which was acquired by Microsoft, who appointed him one of their Chief Technology Officers. When Bill Gates left Microsoft, Ozzie took the position of Chief Software Architect he vacated. He and Dave Cutler went on to work on a project called Red Dog, which evolved into what we now know as Microsoft Azure.  Few would have guessed that Ozzie and Kapor's handshake agreement on Notes could have become a real product. Not only could people not understand the concept of collaboration and productivity on a network in the late 1980s but the type of deal hadn't been done. But Kapor by then realized that larger companies had a hard time shipping net-new software properly. Sometimes those projects are best done in isolation. And all the better if the parties involved are financially motivated with shares like Kapor wanted in Personal Software in the 1970s before he wrote Lotus 1-2-3. VisiCalc had sold about a million copies but that would cease production the same year Excel was released. Lotus hung on longer than most who competed with Microsoft on any beachhead they blitzkrieged. Microsoft released Exchange Server in 1996 and Notes had a few good years before Exchange moved in to become the standard in that market. Excel began on the Mac but took the market from Lotus eventually, after Charles Simonyi stepped in to help make the product great.  Along the way, the Lotus ecosystem created other companies, just as they were born in the Visi ecosystem. Symantec became what we now call a “portfolio” company in 1985 when they introduced NoteIt, a natural language processing tool used to annotate docs in Lotus 1-2-3. But Bill Gates mentioned Lotus by name multiple times as a competitor in his Internet Tidal Wave memo in 1995. He mentioned specific features, like how they could do secure internet browsing and that they had a web publisher tool - Microsoft's own FrontPage was released in 1995 as well. He mentioned an internet directory project with Novell and AT&T. Active Directory was released a few years later in 1999, after Jim Allchin had come in to help shepherd LAN Manager. Notes itself survived into the modern era, but by 2004 Blackberry released their Exchange connector before they released the Lotus Domino connector. That's never a good sign. Some of the history of Lotus is covered in Scott Rosenberg's 2008 book, Dreaming in Code. Others are documented here and there in other places. Still others are lost to time. Kapor went on to invest in UUNET, which became a huge early internet service provider. He invested in Real Networks, who launched the first streaming media service on the Internet. He invested in the creators of Second Life. He never seemed vindictive with Microsoft but after AOL acquired Netscape and Microsoft won the first browser war, he became the founding chair of the Mozilla Foundation and so helped bring Firefox to market. By 2006, Firefox took 10 percent of the market and went on to be a dominant force in browsers. Kapor has also sat on boards and acted as an angel investor for startups ever since leaving the company he founded. He also flew to Wyoming in 1990 after he read a post on The WELL from John Perry Barlow. Barlow was one of the great thinkers of the early Internet. They worked with Sun Microsystems and GNU Debugging Cypherpunk John Gilmore to found the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF. The EFF has since been the nonprofit who leads the fight for “digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.” So not everything is about business.

With a good bit of the talk regarding calls in the Super Bowl this week, BTSC goes back 42 years to a time when instant replay didn't exist and controversy ensued. Let's dial the time circuits on the black-and-gold Delorean back to a time when the forecast was frigid, but the mental thermometer in the City of Champions read downright tropical. It's fitting that you join me as we head back to a time when the top song on the radio was still Escape (The Piña Colada Song), television viewers were watching Three's Company and President Jimmy Carter authorized $1.5 billion in loans to bail out the Chrysler corporation. Meanwhile, the Steelers were gearing up for their sixth AFC Championship appearance in eight seasons, as they welcomed the Houston Oilers once again. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this very environmentally aware edition of the official holiday podcast for people who make hockey sweaters for vermin, we’re responsibly deforesting our way back to 1980 to dig up “The Christmas Raccoons,” the first appearance of early Disney Channel imports The Raccoons and the greedy Cyril Sneer.On This Episode:Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), generous married couple’s permanent houseguest in a tree that’s clearly bigger on the inside.Michael DiGiovanni (@theatomicgeeks), the barely clothed college graduate son of a lumber baron, from The Atomic Geeks, Pop Culture Retrofit, and Classic Film Jerks.Christian Nielsen (@hunkburger), whom I may or may not have completely dreamed up, from The Atomic Geeks and Pop Culture Retrofit.Topics and Tangents:This special and an accompanying story album were narrated by Rich Little, a “Man of a Thousand Voices,” in his own, regular voice.The voice of Forest Ranger Dan is Rupert Holmes, the singer/songwriter behind “Escape (The Piña Colada Song).”Tammy Bourne (Julie) and Hadley Kay (Tommy) were both in other movies in 1980 as children who fall from a great height.The Raccoons’ tree is clearly a lot bigger on the inside.The classic tropes of rolling down a snowy hill into a giant snowball and the big dust ball of violence.Much of this special is contained in an identical dream by both kids and possibly also their dog.

D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities

A Gringo Like Me - Ennio Morricone (1963) From the film Duello nel Texas, also known as Gunfight at Red Sands and Gringo. Featuring the voice of Peter Tevis. Tevis was credited with singing the theme song of the animated television series Underdog in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Tevis ran a record label called Pet Records, based in Burbank, California. The label released records designed to train pet birds to talk as well as other pet training records.  Brainstorm - Lovin' Is Really My Game (1977) Canned Heat (feat. Little Richard) - Rockin' With The King (1972)  Diesel - Sausalito Summernight (Live) A guilty pleasure for me, much in the vein of "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. The original song came out in 1979. This is a slick live version, replete with guests, but I still like it.  Quincy Jones - Do It-To It! (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the movie "$". What was LR doing in the '70s? Trying to carve out a living with new, flaccid original material or guesting on other people's records. Fighting the strong tide of easy money that contemporaries like Jerry Lee, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, etc. were grabbing. GARDEN PARTY INDEED!!! AMIRITE?!? Ennio Morricone - An Eye for an Eye (1965) From the film "For a Few Dollars More", Part 2 of the "Dollars Trilogy". In 2012, that guy on the cover would talk to a chair in front of millions.  Ennio Morricone - Angel Face (1965) Taken from the 1965 movie 'Una Pistola Per Ringo' directed by Duccio Tessari. This and the previous were sung by Maurizio Graf.  Ennio Morricone - Un Ami (1973) From the film "Revolver", starring Oliver Reed, who was Ann-Margret's husband in 1975's "The Who's Tommy".  Ennio Morricone - Nana (1982) I like this song.    Isaac Hayes - Good Love 6-9969 (1971) Before the hyper-meta revival of his career as "Chef" on South Park, Isaac Hayes, boys and girls, was sort of a Barry White/Ronald Isley (reinvented) prototype, releasing long, slow grooves of a sexual nature, covering songs like 'Walk On By" by Bacharach/David, but at about 4 times longer and slower than the original to make his fucking point. His biggest hit was "Shaft", for which he won an Oscar, he co-wrote "Soul Man" for Sam and Dave, as well as "Hold On, I'm Coming". He paid his dues. While inferior to Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield, his place in popular culture was well-assured even before he sang "Chocolate Salty Balls". Having said that, after listening to some of his discography from the later '70s, I'm pretty sure he could have recorded THAT as a b-side and no one would have batted an eye.  Helen Reddy - Ladychain (1975)  Here is where it gets serendipitously strange.  I watched "Lolita". It was ok. But I wanted to see some of James Mason's other later work. Which led me to "The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go" from 1970. it was directed by Burgess Meredith, of "Rocky" fame. He was "The Penguin" in the campier '60s TV version of Batman. "James Mason is a Chinese-Mexican crime lord whose weapon of choice is a spear gun. Burgess Meredith is his Chinese acupuncturist/bodyguard. Jeff Bridges is a novelist of Joycean vision turning rough-trade tricks on the side." But I wanted to know who wrote these crazy songs. One of which I ripped from the opening scene on YouTube and present here in shabby audio, since, obviously, there's no soundtrack.  A Marcia Waldorf wrote the lyrics. Did she sing them, too? She doesn't recall, as I immediately found her email address and wrote to her, and she replied!! She told me all sorts of tales that I will not share here, but she DID write a song that appeared on this Helen Reddy LP, and it was written about Duane Allman. And it's VERY obscure. But no more obscure than her own solo albums (there were 2) of which I play a few later on, for you.  Isaac Hayes Movement - Disco Connection (1975) Isaac Hayes - Feel Like Makin' Love (1975)  Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (1971) Isaac Hayes - Zeke the Freak (1978)  Little Richard - Thomasine (1972) Lucifer's Friend - Toxic Shadows (1970) I just can't get enough of these Les Humphries Singer projects! This was John Lawton, who sang LHS hits like "Mama Loo" and "Sing Sang Song", and then he joined Uriah Heep and he still rocks out today with what I can only call a hair plug fiasco.  Marcia Waldorf - Memoranda (1975) This is one of those times where everyone listening to this show, I can PROMISE you, has never heard a setlist that even resembles this! Quincy Jones - Money Is (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the soundtrack to the movie "$".  Quincy Jones - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Quincy Jones is the father of Rashida Jones. When you look at the video for the song "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie and Mike Jackson, that older man waving a baton around, exhorting all those singers to sing their guts out for all those African warlords is Quincy Jones!  When you hear that funky flute music that Austin Powers is dancing around to, that, also, is Quincy Jones!  Quincy Jones - Summer In The City (1973) Quincy Jones - The Dude (1981)  Sue Lyon - Lolita Ya Ya (1962) This was an example of a studio trying everything to manufacture a star, including deflowering her via a powerful movie producer. She acted in a few other things, and she wasn't bad. For my purposes, I only care about her recorded history, which consisted of one single. I suggest doing research on Sue Lyon. She was a tragic figure that didn't die soon enough, for lack of a better term.    Sue Lyon - Turn Off the Moon (1962)  Marcia Waldorf (?) - The Yin and the Yang (1970) - Intro with Burgess Meredith and James Mason. Waldorf Travers - Night Blindness (1979) @DarrellNutt can you make my drums sound like this? According to Marcia, this album was not released in the US.  Rupert Holmes - Why Am I Walking Without You (1974) This is the same guy that would take over the sophisticated white record buyer's soul with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" not 5 years later.  But before that, he struggled with this project and that, and...this, from the movie "Wet Rainbow", a pornographic film starring Georgina Spelvin and Harry Reems (both from "The Devil In Miss Jones", Georgina was a hooker in the first "Police Academy" movie) which by all accounts was actually a good movie. When you're a young songwriter, every opportunity is the right one. See? I just exposed you to a porno. Get right with your god, sicko. I will soon do a whole show on Rupert and Christopher Cross. But his stuff was pretty tightly controlled, so maybe not him.  Ennio Morricone - The Ballad Of Hank McCain (1969)  Mego - Fonzie Commercial Spot (1976)

Notición: ¡Peres Reyes compró el estudio de la calle 54 de NYC! Bienvenidos a Gitano 54. La historia ha cambiado de protagonistas. Otra fantasía espacio-tiempo en Achilitime. Partiendo de ese supuesto: ¿qué bailaron Warhol, Jagger y Trump?. Txarly Brown nos lo aclara. Supongamos que hoy es 26 de abril de 1977. Como no podía ser de otra manera, Peres Reyes inaugura su discoteca con su enorme versión de la canción de los Bee Gees. Empieza la fiesta, suena la primera batería de hits con ‎Daddy Cool (1976), de Boney M; Isn t She Lovely (1976), de Stevie Wonder; Blame It On The Boogie (1977), de los Jacksons; ‎Long Train Running (1973), de los Doobie Brothers; y hasta el You Can't Even Walk In The Park (1973), de la BSO de Shaft En Africa, de Johnny Pate. Nunca lo hubieras dicho. No pares de bailar. Le siguen el imparable I Will Survive (1978), de Gloria Gaynor; y hasta el Heart of Glass (1978), de Blondie. La pista enloquece con el Super Freak, de Rick James; y los éxitos de Michael Jackson Wanna be Starting Something, Bad, y hasta el I Want You Back, de sus primigenios Jackson 5. Locurón en el Rumba Club. Va llegando el momento de que el DJ calme a la parroquia. Esto podría convertirse en Sodoma y Gomorra. La noche llega a su fin y suena el Escape - The Piña Colada Song (1979), de Rupert Holmes. Arrebato cantan su Just The Two Of Us (1980), de Grover Washington Jr., y Bill Withers (fallecido recientemente, aquí nuestro homenaje). Se cierra la sesión. Vuelve el jefe, Peres Reyes con Ricardo Tarragona como Calle la Cera para despedirnos con More Than a Woman. Precioso. Llevábamos tiempo advirtiéndolo. En los programas previos de Achilitime como "Rare Flamenco Disco" o "La Rumba y la Marcha" tienes más pistas sobre la excitante fusión de la música de baile afroamericana y la rumba.

The official drink of Puerto Rico where it was invented by someone sometime in the 1950s. This rich and delicious concoction is often blended, but there's no reason to pull out the hardware. It's perfect when simply shaken. Thanks to Abel, bartender at The Rum House in Manhattan for making that clear. For best results, please make sure you're listening to "The Piña Colada Song" while shaking. I do have to wonder how good the piña coladas at O'Malley's Bar are though. The recipe below is adapted from the PDT mobile app. In the app the recipe uses coconut sorbet rather than Coco López, which sounds delicious. 2 oz. light or amber rum 4 oz. Coco López coconut cream 1 oz. lime juice 1 oz. pineapple juice Place all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Serve in a collins glass over ice. Garnish with a cherry, a piece of pineapple, a lime wheel, or all of the above.
