The Genius of El Vez

El Vez played on Tuesday at the downtown Mardi Gras celebration. G. and I really like his crazy, creative lyrics and renditions of popular songs. He mixes camp, kitch, Chicano pride AND politics--it's hilarious and completely right-on at the same time. Unfortunately, that brand of entertainment-with-a-message was not a hit with an audience working on achieving a heavy Mardi Gras buzz and a reason to repent for Lent.

G. and our buddy, D., were nice enought to recreate the audience reaction. The other pic is of El Vez in his evangelical preacher-immigration reform advocate get-up. And me, well I'm not sure what I'm doing.
