Cry Me a River --- Patricia Elena Vlieg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU68rIwdm6U One
of Panama's excellent but not that well known musicians does her take
on Irving Gordon's old standard.
La Iguana Verde http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyutcXqJei4 In Spanish, a joint production of Noticias FRENADESO and some of the University of Panama architecture department's radical students, about the "pollo de palo." Paradise Services http://panamaretire.net/ We
have pointed to this website before. It gets far less traffic than does
International Living's website, which is truly unfortunate.
This resource is a part of Henry and Nora Smith's business of
providing various services for retirees moving down here, and listing
real estate for sale or rent. Among the many cool features here are
the frank and non-fictional answers to frequent questions posed by people
thinking about moving to Panama, and the photo albums of many
of the places to which foreign retirees are attracted.
Reform
Madness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S35PZJDFsOw
If
you liked "Reefer Madness" and you find something darkly
comical about the current US health care reform debate, then your
sense of humor is sick enough that this thing will have you rolling
on the floor.
The Retirement Detectives http://retirementdetectives.com/ Like
the Smiths' website noted above, this is also something that people
who are thinking about moving to Panama should consult instead of
International Living. Rob Brown goes further afield than Panama, and
you will find that certain of his tastes are different than those of
the editor of The Panama News, or for that matter the proprietors of
Paradise
Services. (If you have lowest common denominator "one taste fits all"
commercial cultural values, why would you bother with the Internet in
the first place?) You have to become a member to get the most detailed
information and full access to The Retirement Detectives archives, but
membership is free.
Them
Belly Full --- Bob Marley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIq7RvStNB0 This classic is, of course, Jamaican. But take a drive around the square mile of Colon's city center and see if it reminds you of this song. Tikkun
Daily http://www.tikkun.org/tikkundaily/ A very important voice of the religious left in the United States, the
latest media project of a movement started by Rabbi Michael Lerner
but by no means exclusively Jewish.
