@jeramiah28: Today's "Song of The Day" is the fun song, "Religious Man" by Mister Loco which is featured on the great comedy movie, "Nacho Libre" X-D featuring prominently the actor, "Jack Black". The song itself is a man singing about why he's a religious man and glorying in it. The movie is about a man who works and a catholic church but has a secret other life being a Mexican Wrestler Luchador named, "Nacho Libre". #songoftheday #religiousman #misterloco #nacholibre #jackblack #comedy #mexicanwrestler #luchador #gethatcornoutofmyface #stretchypants #thelordschips #gospel "Mr. Loco, also known as Mister Loco or Mr. Loco Band, is a Mexican band formed in 1975. They sing mostly in English and occasionally in Spanish. Their sound is a combination of pop rock and Latin American folk." "Mister Loco is an offshoot band established by previous members of the rock band Los Locos Del Ritmo. The members are Javier (Xavier) Garza Alarcón, Jorge García Castil, and Rafael Acosta.[1] Although Mister Loco was formed in 1975, individually the six members studied Latin American folk and modern music for fifteen years. Mister Loco was formed with a somewhat adventurous and original idea: to combine traditional Latin rhythms and instruments with popular music. In 1975, they won the World Popular Song Festival at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo." (wikipedia.org) "The 2006 cult classic sports comedy-drama film Nacho Libre was inspired by a real-life Mexican Catholic priest called Fray Tormenta. “Friar Storm,” a.k.a. Father Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez, had a 23-year long career moonlighting as a masked luchador. Why did Father Benítez fight at night as Friar Storm? As a lucha libre wrestler, he was able to raise funds to support the orphanage he founded. Read below the incredible true story of Father Benítez that inspired Nacho Libre! Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez was born to José Gutiérrez García and Emilia Benítez on May 9, 1945, in San Agustín Metzquititlán, Hidalgo as the sixteenth of their seventeen children. He had long been inspired to become a masked luchador after watching two 1963 Mexican films, “El Señor Tormenta” (Mister Storm) and “Tormenta En El Ring” (Storm In The Ring) both of which featured the story of a poor Mexican priest who supported the children of his orphanage by fighting as a lucha libre wrestler at night. At age 22, Gutiérrez, at the time a drug addict and alcoholic, became interested in the priesthood and was inducted into the Piarists Order. His theological training took him to Rome, and then Spain, and for a while he taught philosophy and history at Roman Catholic universities in Mexico. He later became a secular priest in the Diocese of Texcoco, where he founded an orphanage named “La Casa Hogar de los Cachorros de Fray Tormenta”, which would serve as the home of 270 children. In need of money to take care of the children, the father became the masked wrestler known as Fray Tormenta. In July of 2011, Benítez retired completely from wrestling. However, he still works at the orphanage and occasionally wears the mask of Fray Tormenta." (ucatholic.com)
