A STRANGE POWER OVER PEOPLE


The same thing happens in every place. After the Relámpagos play for a while, the customers start to cry because they remember lost loves and their dead mommas.

The customers try to avoid it, but their eyes start to moisten and their jaws tremble uncontrollably. Of course, they get mad. It bothers them to discover that a stupid norteño song can bring to light this sensitive side that, as men, they always try to hide. That’s how the fights start. They throw chairs, bottles, glasses…

Only after feeling sufficiently beaten can the patrons keep drinking and keep talking about women and soccer, as is their custom.

That was when Ramón and Cornelio realized that they have a strange power over people.
