Dont cry for _______

[surfing]

Does anyone else get annoyed by the plethora of articles about Argentina that are entitled some variation of "Don't cry for..."? This has to be the number one hackneyed cliche when it comes to this subject. I subscribe to Google News "Argentina" articles and I can not count the number of journalists who routinely fall into this trap. It's kind of sad to imagine them in their moment of inspiration thinking: "well won't this be clever?".

Don't cry for uncreative titling
the truth is, it doesn't hurt you
over the bad cliches,
the sad repititions,
I found you solace,
Just keep your distance

Charly Garcia was there first http://letras.terra.com.br/charly-garcia/196781/ (NB: no Andrew LLoyd Webber melodies were tortured in the making of this Argentine rock classic) I have it on CD. Doubtless it's out there on u-bend

Get ready for cliche overload -- While waiting for a money transfer from an argentina business partner I wasn't sure she would actually send, I wrote in my schedule book:

"Don't cry for me argentina, just SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

and yeah i was rather pleased with myself at the time

Argentineans HATE this song.
