[D66] Tex: Is this the way to Amarillo?

[René Oudeweg]

L.S.

De brit Tony Christie zong "...and sweet Marie who waits for me..."

* Waarom zocht de Brit Christie zijn Marie in Bomb City? Mij een 
raadsel... Ben er gelukkig nooit geweest maar wel hier:

Tres Marías (Morelos):

* Waarom zingt Christie:

"Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la" ?

inderdaad: 7 x 'la'.

* het nummer is in A major (3 kruisen #) dat verwijst naar 
atoombomoptimisme.

* Wat is de hermeneutisch betekenis van Pantex?

   "overall text"

   Zonder text was de atoom inderdaad niet uitgevonden. Niet toevallig 
draait nu de Christopher Nolan film "Oppenheimer" in de bios:

Amarillo, Texas
Amarillo ( AM-ə-RIL-oh; Spanish for "yellow") is a city in the U.S. 
state of Texas and the seat of Potter County. It is the 14th-most 
populous city in Texas and the largest city in the Texas Panhandle. A 
portion of the city extends into Randall County. The estimated 
population of Amarillo was 200,393 as of April 1, 2020. The 
Amarillo-Pampa-Borger combined statistical area had an estimated 
population of 308,297 as of 2020.The city of Amarillo, originally named 
Oneida, is situated in the Llano Estacado region. The availability of 
the railroad and freight service provided by the Fort Worth and Denver 
City Railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing 
center in the late 19th century.Amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 
"Helium Capital of the World" for having one of the country's most 
productive helium fields. The city is also known as "The Yellow Rose of 
Texas" (as the city takes its name from the Spanish word for yellow), 
"Yellow City" for its name, and "Rotor City, USA" for its V-22 Osprey 
hybrid aircraft assembly plant. Amarillo operates one of the largest 
meat-packing areas in the United States. Pantex, the only nuclear 
weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a 
major employer. The location of this facility also gave rise to the 
nickname "Bomb City". The attractions Cadillac Ranch, and Big Texan 
Steak Ranch are located adjacent to Interstate 40. U.S. Highway 66 also 
passed through the city.
