Online Translation, how far you have come.... I found an old email in my sent items; it's about 5 years old. I had used some site to translate, from Spanish to English, a short bio of Willy Deville.→[More:]I sent it along to a friend of mine when I stopped laughing. He was a Willy fan too. In fact, he turned me onto Miracle, which I still love.

Anyway, here's the bio. It's a work of art in and of itself. I thought of highlighting the best parts, but truly, it's all pretty good.

But what it saw did not have to like too much, because it changes quickly of idea and one becomes to the USA. Once there, it discovers that New York is dead, that is something as well as "the night of living deads" in speeedica key, and is transferred San Francisco. During a pair of Willy years it crosses the country in search of musicians able to fit his single ones to less than twenty minutes. While, and forms Billy DeSade the Marquis, where already they were some of the musicians who would form Mink DeVille years later.
