Re: Roger´s Revenge

[Paul Mackin]

Christian's association of Roger with Duncan is interesting I too have many
asssociations for Roger. One is the old Gene Autry song "South of the
Border." Here are the lyrics in case anyone has forgotten. Jessica is the
narrator.

South of the border
Down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
When stars above
Came out to play.
And now as I wander
My thoughts ever stray
South of the border
Down Mexico way

He was a picture
In old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile
Upon his face.
For it was fiesta
And we were go gay
South of the border
Down Mexico way

Then he smiled as he whispered manana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whisper manana
For our tomorrow never came

South of the border
I rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight
He knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stay
South of the border
Down Mexico way.

Ay, ay, ay, ay . . . .


Another association is with Judy Chicago, the south of the border artist.

Another association is Roger's counterforce has about as much chance as
Mexico against the U.S.
