If you haven't already read it in the Daily News, it'll be news to you:
Two young American soldiers -- yes, those who would fight the vicious hordes in Iraq and around the world -- were arrested for having sex.
In public.
At the Alamo.
The two, a 19-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman, were naked from the waist down and doing ... you know ... when seen by passing tourists.
Now we're not lawyers or law enforcement or politicians, but we think members of the American military should be given some sort of dispensation to have sex wherever they want. After all, they face an endless war against a fiendish foe.
And wasnt it the late, great Bob Wills who wrote about this very subject in "San Antonio Rose"?
Well it was there I found, beside the Alamo,
Enchantments strange as the blue up above.
And that was back in 1941.
And those lyrics may not sound like sex, but believe us, they are. After all, we grew up in Bob Wills country. We know Western symbolism when we hear it.
