Reactions and Reviews
For comic relief, there's Marian Kelly's "El Monte Blues", the amusing if rather pointless misadventure of Starsky, Hutch and the NASA DEGUNKER. Scratch one more Torino. [1]
"El Monte Blues" utilizes the conflict over the Torino to build the byplay between Starsky and Hutch. Marian's knowledge of the area in which the story takes place added credulity to the story. [2]
El Monte Blues is about the S&H relationship, though it itself isn't epic; it points up that despite one partner's bozoness, the other one will stick with him. [4]
El Monte Blues - I found myself giggling throughout this story, which got me some very strange looks on the bus. It not worse when I tried to explain to a group of people who didn't empathize with the guys! Her suit disappears? Wow, only his beloved car could tear Starsk away from that! Poor Hutch, as a semi-frequent swap-meet visitor/gullible only sometimes, honest. Although, the magic words "used by NASA" does pull my attention, and my wallet, I really should know better. The only thing wrong is there should be a warning attached to it. I was eating lunch (our bus drivers are very tolerant) when I "saw" the smog. I don't know what the poor man next to me thought when Coke sprayed all over him. CHP's have no sense of humor. [5]
El Monte Blues - Hutch at his martyred best; Starsky at his most little-boy exasperating. Love it! ... Mating Season is very funny, a different kind of funny than El Monte Blues, a more whimsical humor. El Monte is a lobster thermidor; Mating Season is a light and airy souffle. [6]
