| Us Mexicans, we take the sombrero very seriously. |
When I say serenade, what's the image that comes first into your head?
a) Moonlit night, starry-eyed Juliet on her balcony, starry-eyed Romeo below singing sweet songs of everlasting love with a soulful guitar?
b) A broken-hearted drunk with his staggering-drunk buddies shouting up abuse at an empty balcony?
A, right? Of course. That's the image perpetuated by Tom & Jerry and black & white movies of the 1940's. And, in truth, it can be like that.
