As Lopez’s career took off, he developed new concerns and new routines. (He often imitated his California rich-kid daughter: “Oh, my gwad, Dad, you sound soooooo Mexican.) After a health scare and then a divorce, Lopez seemed to dedicate himself to talking shit and naming names. Anti-immigration sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Arizona, made for an easy target. (In his HBO special, It’s Not Me, It’s You, Lopez blasted the closed border advocate: “Sheriff Joe, in California, fuck you! Fuck that puto!”) Lopez has a two-night run in Houston during which he’ll no doubt share more about his personal life and political views.
