Prolific musician and songwriter Rupert Holmes is mostly a beer drinker, although his last minute lyrical substitution in the refrain of “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” perfectly taps into the special spot in our brains where refreshing tropical drinks symbolize relief from our daily routines.
The original chorus of this pop chestnut, the last Billboard no. 1 hit of the 1970s, started, “If you like Humphrey Bogart,” but the writer thought that “too noir” and settled on the tropical drink he thought best fit the mood of longing to inhabit a different life. Vacations do give us that opportunity, if not to be someone else at least to be somewhere else, and when we return we are somewhat changed and like the protagonist in “Escape” find depth again where we started.

New Book: “Folk Stories from the Hills of Puerto Rico”
Folk Stories from the Hills of Puerto Rico / Cuentos folklóricos de las montañas de Puerto Rico
, edited by Rafael Ocasio, is now available from Rutgers University Press. Jack Zipes (translator and editor of
The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition)says, “Rafael Ocasio’s unique bilingual anthology,
Folk Stories from the Hills of Puerto Rico, is a treasure of delectable and profound tales collected at the beginning of the twentieth century. Moreover, Ocasio’s comprehensive introduction and notes about the history of these tales fills a gap in our understanding of the unusual contribution made by Puerto Rican peasants to the island’s cultural tradition. In short, this is a significant and remarkable book that will bring joy to readers.”
