Titel: Out of Their Minds
Auteur: Luis Humberto Crosthwaite
ISBN: 9781935955566
Conditie: Als nieuw

Hey, what's up, come a little closer, I have something to tell you, God said to Cornelio. The deal was simple: God would be the silent partner in the norteno band that Cornelio had started with his best friend Ramon. Cornelio would sing and play the bajo sexto, Ramon the accordion, and God would write the songs. Cornelio agreed; he would sell his soul to God. Success and disaster followed. The band went from playing bars in Tijuana to playing the biggest stadiums in Mexico. Women started fan clubs dedicated to their heroes Ramon and Cornelio. It seemed to Cornelio and Ramon that they had everything, but fame was a cruel mistress. Ramon and Cornelio's story has some loose parallels to a real Mexican band, but it's also the apocryphal story of the Beatles and the kids tuning up in the garage down the street. Luis Humberto Crosthwaite is an award-winning writer, editor, and journalist who teaches at the University of Iowa.
