MORELIA, Mexico — Mexico’s country music stars are being killed at an alarming rate — 13 in the past year and a half, three already in December — in a trend that has gone hand in hand with the surge in violence between drug gangs here.
-- James C. McKinley for The New York Times
This is the sort of violence we associate with the rap music world. You know something is wrong when even country music life is this wild. It also brings home how far Mexico remains from being a true First World country, and that it probably never will become one.
