The Eagle Pass News Gram caught up to Jo Jo Garza, bass player for Los Lonely Boys, the Grammy Award winning band out of San Angelo who hit the music scene with their Texican rock and roll.

When asked about that year and their appearance at the grandest event in music, he had the following to say:

We never felt so honored and we never felt so humbled when they told us, a lot of the nation came together, especially the Raza, Man, so we couldn't help but shed a tear.  People told us 'We feel like we were all on that stage!' and one of the things we always tell people, Bro' is that we all stand together, because we stand here for La Raza. La Raza Humana and we felt really honored.

It's kind of like when Selena Quintanilla got it.

I'll tell you what, Man, she'd put a lot of these crazy girls who are out on the radio right now to shame.  She was a big influence too, Man, believe it or not, doing the crossover thing.

It's like living a dream, He's real deep, real spiritual.  He's all about the light, about God.  All about spreading positive messages to people and being positive.  He's ls about Latinos rocking and crossing over to the American side of music, porque somos Americanos tambien.  He's also about breaking down barriers.  He tells us that he's passed down the torch to us.  "You guys are next."  we don't really know what to say other than that means a heck of a whole lot and we'll do our best to keep rocking and carrying the message of love, the message of God and the message of life.  It's a blessing for us to have the talent we have and it comes from Dios.  We're strong believers in Jesus Christ.  He died for our sins and we believe in God Almighty, the Alpha Omega.  Without any of that belief in our lives we know we wouldn't be any where near where we are in our lives.
