...have a different swagger. They walk with death in their shadows, and they move with the stiff pretense of being unafraid of it. Of course, they don't call it death but "martyrdom," and it awaits them in the form of an Israeli missile when these die-hard teenagers creep out into the orange groves and sand dunes to launch rockets at Israel...
...kind of creepy, the fun we're supposed to be having assuming a college kid is his girlfriend, and it gets one to thinking about Willis' dating life. When I ask him about it, he turns the question on me so that I'm the creep: "That thought never crossed my mind--of asking Mary Elizabeth Winstead on a date. No one has come up with that question.

This American connection is one of the reasons that hip-hop has had such a big influence on the genre already, and why English words and slang phrases regularly creep into reggaeton verses. While Luny Tunes-produced “Gasolina” might be the genre’s “Rapper’s Delight,” crossovers can happen in many directions, especially for a genre like reggaeton, at the crossroads...
