Pop Song of the Week: "La Isla Bonita"
They borrow from us; we borrow from them. What category this song falls into depends on your definition of us and them.
However, I do remember driving my late father up the wall back in 1987 by continually switching the car radio to this song when we were driving cross-country. I also remember the sister of my second Mexican-born girlfriend showing off a tape of the album from which this song was taken when my father and I visited her family during that same trip. So those are at least two reasons why I'm likely to remember this tune in a way that most people never will.
