I saw my first bullfight when I was 14. That was back in 1975. The Matadors fighting in the Mid 70′s (VLV) were Manolo Martinez, Curro Rivera, Antonio Lomelin, Eloy Cavazos, Adrian Romero, Mariano Ramos and later Manolo Arruza, David Silveti, Cruz Flores etc.. Well its like this, most of those guys are dead now! Eloy and Mariano are still active, Arruza is coming outta retirement and Romero is still retired. Manolo Martinez’ liver did him in a decade ago. Curro Rivera died (heart) in a tienta about 4 years ago. David Silveti surrendered to his own demons and Antonio Lomelin was silenced Mexican style last year. Today I read Cruz Flores passed. Flores wasn’t one of the greatest Mexican Matadors in history, but like Silveti he is one who I saw develop from Novillero into a successful Matador. Life is short, and when its over, its over. Soo, Bruno’s new rule to live by, “Drink Wine, Make Babies and Kill Bulls, cuz you never know when your gonna die”. ¡Viva La Fiesta de los Toros!
