I vote for this song to be looped continuously in the hotel lobby.
(Some great road trips come to mind when I hear it)
Was just talking with a co-worker about this very song. I wonder how much peyote they had to smoke before they came up with the name for their band...

He may have a point of them not speaking Spanish in front of the guests but what about the people working behind the scenes like cooks, porters and housekeeping, many of whom may not speak English? If he's afraid that they may be talking about him he should try not being such a prick. That's just stupid.

Taos is multi-cultural community. People come here to experience the old southwest and Spanish and native culture. Asking anyone to change their name is one of the highest insults in this proud old Spanish and native community. He's lucky his hotel wasn't burned to the ground.
And he aggravated the situation with an arrogant sign on the hotel' "I'm in the Bahamas, see you in 2 weeks, protesters!"
Stupid ass Texan! He should know better!
Taos welcomes all who wish to try and make a living or become part of a great little(pop. 7,000) southwest community.

A brief history of Taos.
[FONT=helvetica,arial]F[/FONT][FONT=helvetica,arial]rancisco Vasquez de Coronado explored the southwest from 1540 to 1542; and Hernan Alvarado, a captain to Coronado, reached Taos Pueblo in 1540. This was the first recorded account of Europeans in Taos, and followed Columbus' voyage of 1492 by only forty-eight years. While Coronado's fabled search for the "seven cities of gold" was in vain, the Spanish conquistadors were also acting in concert with the church. Franciscan priests were as determined to convert as the conquistadors were to conquer. Although their intentions to conquer and convert were clear the Spanish were in fact more benevolent and sympathetic in their conquest than the colonists on the east coast. In the sixteenth century, King Philip of Spain guaranteed the Pueblo Indians one square league around their villages, or 17,000 acres. The southwest is "Indian Country" in part because of the legal guarantees of Indian land by the Spanish crown, and because of intermarriage approved by the crown. Nonetheless, oppression and encroachment onto Indian land was a problem. The legacy of European settlers included the introduction of disease, but also included the wheel, iron, horses, mules, cattle, sheep and wheat. [/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica,arial]The colonization of New Mexico by Juan de Onate in 1598 preceded the English colonization of Jamestown, Virginia by nine years. O?ate has been placed in Taos as early as July 14, 1598, and he assigned Fray Francisco Zamora as pastor at Mission San Geronimo at Taos Pueblo on September 9, 1598. The Spaniards found a thriving community of Native American farmers and hunters living in and around Taos Pueblo, and by 1615 the fertile Taos valley had been settled by a number of Spanish families, with Ranchos de Taos being the first settlement. Many present-day Taose?os consider themselves to be "Spanish". This designation may be a misnomer for all but a handful who were either born in Spain or can trace their entire lineage directly back to Spain, but the majority of Taose?os are in fact of Hispanic heritage or descent. The Hispanos of Taos are indirect descendants of Hernan Cortes who conquered the Aztecs of Mexico in 1521, and of the Spanish conquistadors who explored the U.S. Southwest with Francisco Vasquez de Coronado between 1540-1542. A few Hispanic Taose?os are the direct progeny of the settlers who accompanied Don Diego de Vargas, who re-colonized New Mexico in 1692 after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, but the intermarriage of the Spanish with Indians, French trappers, Anglo-American merchants and mountain men has resulted in a mixed blood line.
