I passed many starry eyed childhood afternoons at Casa Bonita, famed whimsy house of Colorado. I never lived in Colorado, but I had close family there, and we would go to Casa Bonita nearly every time we visited. Someone in my broadcast told me that the restaurant had filed for Bankruptcy. Do not go gentle into that good night, Casa Bonita. The people love you! How would South Park remain relevant without you? Capitalism devours another cherished offspring.
Song for Casa Bonita of Denver
Don't shutter your fuchsia doors,
Circus of the Rocky Mountains!
As a child my uncle told me of
monsters chained in your basement -
I wholeheartedly believed him.
How could I not? After all:
Freerange grizzly terrorizing diners,
men plunging from impossible heights
all while you ate? You kept the west alive.
Don't let the lavender campfire outlaw kitsch
die out!
On the bus, headphones busted, the man
repeats: "Everything ends. That's in the bible:
everything ends."
