You've probably heard that Burt Bacharach passed away. That would be reason enough to start off another Shit Week. That was negated in these parts with the news that Celia Cruz is slated to appear on a U.S. minted quarter (a twenty five sent piece). Holy shit! A Cuban (exile) salsa singer (the first Afro-Latina!) on a coin. Small consolation I know but I gotta say that when I heard that within minutes of hearing about Bacharach it was as if she canceled Shit Week from beyond. I'm looking forward to having some azucar in my pocket. Bacharach will be covered later, most likely with some of Isaac Hayes's interpretations which are still my favorite.
