Here’s a very strange Dylan cover, officially released in Mexico with an MP3 file at the end of the my message.
The cover is “Like a Rolling Stone” but guess what? With lyrics in Spanish and not just that but completely unrelated with the original lyrics, and I mean it… nothing in the lyrics has relation with Bob’s lyrics.
Also the name of the song was changed to “Avándaro”; as the new lyrics are about the Mexican Woodstock “Avándaro” a rock festival held about two hours from Mexico City in 1971, with the best Mexican bands back then. But not just about Avándaro but hilarious, sarcastic, and funny.
The group making the cover is “Naftalina” a “new” name for a band created in 1957 in my neighbourhood, “Colonia Condesa” in Mexico City. The band first name was “Los Sonámbulo” (The Sleepwalkers), later “The Sinners” (that was their name in “Spanish” back then many of our bands used names in English) and then “Naftalina”
This album was released in 1987, but the song was “composed” and recorded in 1971
This is the band in 1960
This is the band rocking a local bar in 1962 “Cafe Rusel”
This is the album front cover
This is the back cover (click on the link, my scan was really bad because of the colors of the backcover LOL)
The third verse uses some local expression from the 60s that we use in this new millennium:
• “Dylanianos” for the Dylan fans…
• “jipitecas” means “Mexican Hippies”
• “pasoneados” means someone high on hallucinogenic drugs, especially our local mother nature: Peyote and Mushrooms
• “Atizado” someone stoned with weed
• “reventado” someone who party all the time… with ALL of the above LOL
…and now babies… an MP3 file, with direct access!!! Just right-click and download
That was cool. I wish I understood the words. Can you hit me with the gist? Didn't Three Souls do a song about Avandaro, too?
Here's some audio/still photo youtubes of some of my fave rave Three Souls Nos.
Of course this is the all time killer classic:
Maniacal live footage from, what, '78?
And this is my new favorite youtube video:

Yes, they did it, "La Encuerada de Avánadaro" about the girl who was naked all the festival (someone stole her clothes), she was high and dead drunk all the time and was in the local news and footage... this girl was famous just because of that, LOL in Woodstock there were many and none of them is famous
