I once camped at Salsipuedes to the sound of Banda blasting till 8AM. Very hard to sleep. The wife finally screamed in Spanish and they turned it
down a bit. How do you party till 8AM unless there's amphetamines involved?

You might be on to something here. Like my friend who doesn't hear his kids playing and screaming feet from him, maybe Mexicans don't hear
blaring music. It might not even register to them.
Could this be?
So, being the center of one's universe would be considered narsisistic NOB but not SOB?
Back home I have a 600 watt amplifier, A Kilpsch 12" subwoofer, and a pair of Altec Lansing Voice of The Theater midrange horns. I can shove them all
by the sliding glass door. At 0900, comes Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man. followed by Nervous Norvous Ape Call, then a 17 minute audio clip from Miami
Vice, Jan Hammer's piece, chanted by Don Johnson, replete with Ricardo Tubb's screaming "Look out Sonny they're behind you!" and machine gun fire.
Yeah, I did it after enduring a whole night of Corridos and endless "Fine Fine Fine Very Good Very Good Very Gooooooood". Oscar, my tone deaf neighbor
wobbled up at ten AM bleeding to death from his eye sockets. He started to curse but I thrust a bottle of Venado tequila at him and urged "¡Andele!"
He took a slug. Fool. I had laced the almost tequila with lots and lots of aguardiente. If he had been successful lighting his Marlboro, the bottle
would have most certainly caught fire.
His muttered curses changed to "amigos (hiccup)" And eleven something his equally near-death brother in law came to fetch him. They both stumbled down
the driveway at noon, vapors surrounding them.
Luis the dueño of the village tienda told me a few days later "Oscar and Jaime say you, the gringo have very strange taste in music but you are one
good amable host"
A friend was being treated of something in a TJ hospital. Neighbors liked to party till 4AM. Friend said "I`m fine with that. That is the sound of
life". At the time, this person had about 8 months of life left. Why do they do it? I guess just to burn out early, like a burned out acid queen!!
Yes, they don't like American Music, especially LOUD American music...good writing David and entertaining..got a good visualization of the morning
events!!!

Bajaboy I would have to wonder why you would try to sit on a front porch located near a stage. What is your part in all this? For me when standing in
the rain I expect to get wet. Go figure.

Let the pups out at 0345 and the second band was cranking... VERY good, full horn section and good female vocalist.
I stood out there dancing in my boxers for a half hour, Glad my neighbors were asleep or at the dance.......
I love it loud especially if its good old American music...rock, pop or reggaeton...but after 10 at night I realize others need to get their sleep
like I do!!

There are always things you love and hate about a place you choose to live in...right now the humidity in Hawaii is pretty suffocating..and its only
11 am..but its part of the whole experience!! Trick is get up super early to do your walking and shopping and avoid the noon hour till around 5
pm...it does cool down in the evening however with a nice breeze..

Somethings I guess are best left not understood.....
Just like the question about the trash. If you grow up and everyone plays loud music and you play it all night, you come to think that is the way to
enjoy music. It is loud in the cars, it is loud in the houses, it is, for sure, loud in the band performances.
We, born and raised North of the Border, were raised on a strict diet of "Turn the Music Down", can't you see I am reading, watching TV, talking
to my friends, or whatever, but we went through a very different training.
But, never fear, we will Americanize these guys if it kills us. Turn your music down, stop playing at a decent hour, and for sure pick up your trash
when you are done.
And I wanted to come here .............................., Why?
I find it interesting that the first thing my gardner does when he comes to my house, or any of the neighbors, is to drag out a 100 foot extension
cord and plug in his boom box to entertain his self while he does he chores. Fortunately it's not so loud that it bothers us in the house and he
always tunes it to American music (the Walrus) that's broadcast out of Rosarito.
