Loved loved loved the Alamo’s 90s Alternative Sing-Along last night. It wasn’t really nostalgic night for me. Instead, I was more appreciative of how music showcased this transitional, gritty, dirty, and confusing time in our culture (or maybe that’s what it was for me growing up). Get excited for posts of some of my favorite 90s alternative music videos and songs!
“As he read the dispatch, Wilson found himself thinking of the Alamo and the letter Colonel Travis wrote to the people of Texas just before Santa Anna attacked: ‘The enemy has demanded surrender. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot. I shall never surrender or retreat.’
Most Americans can’t understand what the Alamo means to Texans. It’s like Masada to the Israelis. It sums up what it means to be a man, what it means to be a patriot, what it means to be a Texan.”- Charlie Wilson’s War
