La Mona Jiménez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Juan Carlos Jiménez Rufino (born January 11, 1951), known as La Mona Jiménez) is arguably the most popular cuarteto singer that has ever lived. He was born in Córdoba, Argentina. When he was a child, Jiménez used to play Tarzan with other kids. His parents often told him he resembled Tarzan's chimpanzee companion Cheeta. This is allegedly how he got the nickname La Mona ("the [female] monkey"). He started singing with Cuarteto Berna when he was 15 years old after winning a contest among 40 other singers. With this group he recorded five albums. His first hit was La flaca Marta ("Skinny Marta") from the album Para toda América ("For All America"), released in 1984. His success allowed him to buy three brand-new cars and a house in the barrio of Cerro de Las Rosas, and to pay off a mortgage. In 40 years of musical career Jiménez has recorded more than 73 CDs and sold more than 3 million copies all over Argentina. His 62nd CD, titled Beso a beso con La Mona ("From kiss to kiss with La Mona") sold more than one hundred thousand copies just in Córdoba. In 2005, the he received the Konex Award for best Cuarteto solist/band of the 1995-2005 decade. Scott wrote: Wait a minute...could this be hero?

Well, he was right about that...I DON'T get what is so f***ing important about it. I read it (after he gave me a good link to the article). All I saw was a mention that he fixed an APU wire. So, his job title was obviously APU Fixer Upper. I still don't get why he challenged to rah group to "look at the article if we have the balls." Huh? What amount of balls does it take to read the article? He just quit answering my several pleas asking just WHAT I was supposed to take away from the table by reading the article, so I guess it just isn't important enough for him to waste his time telling me what was so important about what he did. I fixed MANY wires in my illustrious 3 year and 2 month career in the USAF. To save Juanita the trouble of asking why I didn't do the full 4 years, here it is. Graham-Rudmann, circa 1988. Look it up.

You don't need anyone to sign a DA-1800 to find out that the squadron had a medevac mission and took a mom and her preemie to the hospital, or to inquire about events related to that mission. All you need is to have enough brain matter to send a FOIA request. When it comes to personnel records, FOIA records are very limited. Did you want us to take a look at your military career, or did you just want us to find evidence of this one, rather routine, career-definin event? You are very specific in your demand that we look at someone's comments. What document were you referring to? Why don't you help us out in our efforts. Coward. |
