The image is simple, from San Antonio’s Hard Rock Cafe (Riverwalk). Despite my status as a tourist, I have yet to spend much time at that particular restaurant. Closest I’ve gotten to it, other than spin through in an afternoon, was the original in London’s original location, but that’s a tale for another time and venue.
The visual whimsy, I think the first time I posted that image, the irony and ensuing humor must’ve been lost.
Guns-N-Roses. The bad boys of rock? Nicknamed, “Needles and Noses?”
There are several elements here, the poster’s Spanish, rock band names in English, of course.
The poster should be preserved artwork, a classic.
It’s in a corner. Stacked with a series, not just one or two, but whole series of baby chairs. Again, anything?
Nothing.
Can’t find the link now, had it here earlier, a long list of “you might be from San Antonio if…” type of activities, points of interest and trivial material, I suppose, that only suits San Antonio natives.
“You might be from San Antonio, if…
“You lost your virginity at the Mission Drive-In…
“You think the four food groups are:
1) Breakfast Tacos,
2) Beer,
3) Tequila,
4) BBQ…“You think formal attire is a clean Hard Rock t-shirt.”
Along with the tag phrase, “Keep San Antonio Lame,” there’s that list, probably over a hundred reasons. I was fascinated with the Mission Four Drive-In because I once caught that perfect image, “closed.”
The missions still stand on the edge of the prairie, and there’s one that I find fascinating, the old drive-in. Guess it will be something new soon enough. Too bad.
The Hard Rock, Austin’s closed, couldn’t hang, but the one in San Antonio, down in Bexar County? Going strong. Formal attire, a clean Hard Rock T-shirt?
Why I liked that poster. What was I doing there? I don’t recall.
Guns-n-Roses, putatively a form of “metal,” and that’s another San Antonio association that can’t be shaken: Heavy Metal. Like Gun’n’Roses.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world!
