A new book explores the deep connection between Latinos and '80s British post-punk bands, a connection seen at New Order's recent San Antonio show.
The revered British dance-rock band New Order made a very rare visit to San Antonio this month.New Order had never performed in San Antonio before last weekend, which gave the British synth-rock band’s March 11 show at the AT&T Center the emotional heft of a communion four decades in the making.
By pure coincidence, a couple of days after the New Order concert, I came across an intriguing interview on the Chicago-based radio show/podcast Sound Opinions with Richard T. Rodríguez, a professor of English and media and cultural studies at the University of California, Riverside. The book takes its title from a 1984 Culture Club concert special, and Rodríguez opens with a vivid account from February of that year, when his mother dropped off the 12-year-old Rodríguez and his sister at his Aunt Irene’s apartment in Santa Ana, Calif., on a Saturday morning.Garcia: Northside ISD candidate regrets participating in election-denying Jan. 6 protest
Rodríguez is interested in why Latinos gravitate to '80s British post-punk, but it’s to his credit that he rejects the simplistic, knee-jerk rationales that often accompany stories about former Smiths singer Morrissey’s dedicated Mexican American fan base, such as the idea that Morrissey’s melodramatic emotionality feels like home for Chicanos.
