Somebody Came To Town For Thanksgiving And It Wasn't Santa
Well, here's proof that fame is a relative thing. While we were preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, a little store in the town adjacent to ours was the scene of small-town bedlam when Latino singer Lupillo Rivera showed up at La Esperanza Market and signed autographs for happy fans. I've never heard of the guy (which is fair, I suppose-he's probably never heard of me either). He's been singing for years and winning awards, but I just don't listen to Latin music as a general rule, so I never knew who he was.
The La Esperanza Market (where Rivera showed up and signed autographs) used to be called The Happy Burro Market. I don't know why it changed names, but I've often wondered if it was because some of us here nicknamed it The Happy Ass Market. I'll bet Rivera never knew that. Like I said-fame is a relative thing.
