DESCRIPTION:Who needs Halloween commercialism when you’ve got three acclaimed 
 songwriters joining to honor the Day of the Dead tradition?  It all happens 
 Thursday, Nov. 1, at Retox Lounge, San Francisco’s new "industrial 
 lounge" located in the hip “Dog Patch” district at 628 20th St. (near 
 3rd St.), San Francisco.   \n\nSongwriter Steve Taylor-Ramírez brings his 
 critically acclaimed folk, soul and Latin roots, and joins the 
 multitalented Theresa Perez with her highly danceable Latin R&B band.  Drew 
 Harrison – known for his popular tribute to John Lennon and his work with 
 The Sun Kings Beatles tribute band – brings his brilliant and original 
 acoustic rock.  The cover is $7 at the door and the music starts at 9:30 
 pm.\n  \nTaylor-Ramírez says he hopes his music sounds like “Bill Monroe 
 drinking tequila with Ritchie Valens at a truck stop on the Lost 
 Highway.” Multi-lingual Theresa Perez sings original hip-hop, soul and 
 Latin in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Drew Harrison sings of the human 
 condition in a warm, rough-edged voice that embodies sincerity and 
 truth.\n\nThe concert detail:\n\nThursday, Nov. 1, 9:30 pm - Retox

 (Day of the Dead)\n\nRenowned writer Octavio Paz observes that, undaunted 
 by death, the Mexican has no qualms about getting up close and personal 
 with it, noting that he "...chases after it, mocks it, courts it, hugs it, 
 sleeps with it; it is his favorite plaything and his most lasting 
 love."\n\nNovember 1, All Saints Day, and November 2, All Souls Day, are 
 marked throughout Mexico by Days of the Dead customs that vary widely 
 according to the ethnic roots of each region. Common to all are colorful 
 adornments and lively reunions at family burial plots, the preparation of 
 special foods, offerings laid out for the departed on commemorative altars 
 and religious rites.  It is a mix of pre-Hispanic and Roman Catholic 
 rituals, the type of mix that defines much of Mexican culture.\n\nIn most 
 localities, Nov.1 is set aside for remembrance of deceased infants and 
 children, often referred to as angelitos (little angels). Those who have 
 died as adults are honored on Nov. 2.\n\n\n\n
