Wednesday tune 3
Jukari, Elaine and I used to play this strange game Janagino founded and titled, Qui es mas macho? For those of you not fluent in mangled Spanish/French/English that would loosely translate to, Who is more macho?
I recall many occasions where one of us would exlaim, "Qui es mas macho?! Tom Cruise or Katie Holmes?" or something along those lines.
George W or Condoleeza Rice? Condi.
Martha or Oprah...close call, but I'd have to say Oprah.
There are no written, imaginary, or rational rules to this game. (This really is leading to a Wednesday music selection.) See, it isn't about machismo in the common vernacular. In this game, macho isn't all about toughness, but it is. It isn't really about butchness. It's not about just who would win in a smackdown, but that's close. You see, it's about....macho. Somehow it made sense and brought hours of endless entertainment.
With Jay-Z's comeback from non-retirement, one must ask the inevitable...Qui es mas macho?! Jay-Z or Beyonce?
If you had to go with external image, hit making history and objective markers of success, I'd have to say Jay-Z. Unfortunately, one can correctly argue that macho-ness is not defined by platinum albums, CEO status or the number of chincilla coats. The intro horns in this Wednesday's track are like the macho anthem. Since Crazy in Love was written by Beyonce, I think she is mas macho. Let the debate begin.
