i just looked up linda ronstadt and holy fuck i remember her being the arcangel miguel in la pastorela and mom made us watch it in like 1991 and my spanish wasn’t very good yet (my knowledge of the language peaked in like ‘96) and i was like why is any of this happening and i had completely blocked out this memory
thanks, linda ronstadt, for being an inexplicable fixture of my otherwise insanely whitebread childhood
(and like. not her pop stuff. the stuff everyone knows. i couldn’t pick that out of a lineup. we didn’t listen to like. radios or whatever. no. we were totally disconnected from popular culture. her mexican roots exploration is the closest thing to popular culture i interacted with in any meaningful way prior to about 1995 when I noticed that the alarm clock radio in my bedroom had dials I could move off of the local NPR affiliate station that my parents had set it on for me. I wasn’t quick on the uptake about this stuff okay.)
