Love: ... Bitter as Bile - La Casa Encantada - Show # 17 - Feb. 21 2014

The Haunted House @ KUSF - Show 17 - "Love: Bitter as Bile" Feb 21 2014 by Casaencantada on Mixcloud

The Haunted House (La Casa Encantada) is a music show on KUSF.org radio in San Francisco (Fridays at 3:00 PM PST on kusf.org or on itunes>radio>college>kusf).

This is the 17th Show, and it is a sobering balance to our Valentine Special, as we deal whith the second part of that sentence that says love is "sweet as syrup, bitter as bile" (dulce como el almíbar, amargo como la hiel). Here we have fifteen (or so) tales of love gone wrong.

Le dijo el tiempo al querer

Esa soberbia que tienes

Yo te la castigaré.

(Time said to love: that pride you have, I will crush it).

We have love deniers like Adriano Celentano (Non Essiste Lamore) and skeptics such as Arsenio Rodriguez (Un amor saca otro amor, because nobody dies of love anymore), along with more dramatic points of view by Fernanda de Utrera, Los Chichos, Bruno Lomas, Don Drummond, Jimmie Rodgers, Trio Matamoros, José Alfredo Jiménez and more!

Stories of bitter love, defeated love, dying love, woeful love, doggone love, foolish love… We have love killings, broken hearts and so on and on, from Puerto Rico to Texas and from Tennessee to Spain. 
Join us in a celebration of the most universal theme ever put to song!

Let this show be a warning of where love can lead you if you don't stop it soon!
