#cheech marin

I just noticed that I tried to post this, but it disappeared into the Tumblrverse, never to be seen again until now!!

I love this scene! Cheech Marin is having a great time directing traffic to clear to a traffic jam on the streets of San Francisco in this episode of Nash Bridges. Don Johnson just watches, with an incredulous gaze, in amazement and awe!! I love these two guys together on this show!!! It was the perfect episode to air on Halloween, dontcha think? And I love this song!! 🎶 🎵 💜you can hang out with all the boys!! Sounds like a blast to me!!! 😁🤗😍

Elvira even made a guest appearance as a dominatrix who was involved in a crime that they were trying to solve. She ends up dating one of the policemen in the end!! It was a very fun episode, indeed!!

Here, she's handcuffed to the wall. I guess she's an equal opportunity dominatrix! 😁🤣🤣

“ The coyote on the picture, drawn by story artist Tom Sito, was going to be the comic relief throughout the story. He was going to be voiced by Cheech Marin (Banzai in The Lion King), but later on during production, it was decided to not have any of the animals talk “ - SpiritHomelandWeebly

"To me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano in order to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I'm a Chicano because I say I am." --Cheech Marin

The new--and first of its kind--publication on Chicano Photography, Chicano Camera Culture: A Photographic History, 1966-2026 is a welcomed contribution to our shared visual history. As a self proclaimed Chicano myself, who has spent a lifetime exploring photography, this publication marks a new milestone. This is my first experience engaging with a monograph that specifically celebrates sixty years and over 45 artists--who have expressed, documented, probed, and wondered what it means to be a Chicano, and an American, in these United States. There is much to discover.

Edited by the formidable curator/writer Elizabeth Ferrer, whose introductory essay "Bringing Forth a History" builds the context and creates the space for the ensuing essays from noted Latinx art scholars and historians, Chicano Camera Culture lays a foundation for future research and study of Chicano Photography. Finally, a bold history, too often marginalized and ignored, is reclaimed.

For those in the Los Angeles area, the exhibition is currently at The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture (a/k/a "The Cheech") until September 6th. For those in other parts, I recommend seeking out this publication. For my fellow Chicanos, I say ¡Órale!—Lane Nevares
