About halfway through the first hour (while the song from Thierry Robin was playing), I got a call from someone who asked why the show is called Planet Groove, since everything I had played that night was Mexican.
I told him (politely) that I had played music from Asia, Africa and Latin America already — and that I was playing Gypsy music at the moment, and had a tune from Pakistan cued up next. The guy actually told me that "all music from Latin America, by definition, is Mexican. And I don't know why you'd endorse or legitimize that worthless country by playing its music. That whole country is nothing but a big pile of garbage that's going to go up in flames."
I swear I'm not making that up.
