** "Biggest Loser in Winner, SD" music from the "Spanish Channel"

I am a bit surprised with my rather jaundiced view toward ethnic specialness and the illegal alien invasion from Mexico, that anybody from the "Spanish Channel" would decide to push a song and video via Dakota Today.  But, give a listen to "The Biggest Loser in Winner, SD" anyway.  Below is a copy of the e-mail I received with a link to the video and music.

Hi Douglas,
I was stumbling through blogs and came upon yours. I like how you are not afraid to state your views!
 I know it's a little off track of your normal beat, but I wrote a song about the rancher in Winner, SD who won all that money last week. Here's a video if you care to post it:

If you do, we'll be sure to give your blog a prominent link on our website as well.
 Thanks! Jaime

Winner, SD. has more biggest losers than this guy could ever imagine and Neal Wanless is really from Mission, SD and bought the winning ticket at Winner Ampride instead of Lil Feller, but guess there has to be a bit of poetic license allowed for singers and guitarists. Anyway, if you actually even sort of enjoyed the music, let the singer Jaime Garamella know.

I got a similar e-mail; nothing like musical spam! But I have a soft spot for musicians trying to make a buck, so I'll cut the kids some slack.

The Spanish Channel" is the name of the band. I'm guessing it has about as much to do with the musical content as "Five for Fighting" has to do with hockey.

Thanks Doug! I appreciate it. Yes, I took a little license with the details, but I guess that's what separates songwriters from reporters. I wish Neal and his family all the best.
