Nevertheless, because of precisely what George Santayana was talking about, we are headed, one unnoticed step at a time, in just that direction
It is a no-brainer that we are right now doomed to go through some really bad times. Anybody who tells you anything different is either trying to sell you something or they probably just need to back off on their meds. Nevertheless, Mr. Santayana’s beat-to-death, pure gold adage is about to fall upon us in its full weight because very few around us have even a nodding acquaintance with vital history. I mean, most of the universities these days seem to be teaching their own, new and improved version of history. But real history, our civilization’s blood-soaked past that was packaged with painful experience and the subsequent critical thinking that had to be done in order to milk wisdom from tragedy, that seems to be all but clean gone.
Jorge Santayana was not a meme in your head who only made one memorable quote.
Not sure I agree. I have always liked his cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Black Magic Woman”
Also on YouTube you can find nice examples of him jamming with Garcia and others.
oh - never mind.
GMTA!
Is this about George or Carlos?
So far , everyone on this thread missed the golden opportunity Carlos Santana, good musician to be sure, provided us when he famously wore his CHE t-shirt to publi concerts, proving Santayana’s famous quote.
That’s not true. I have all of his albums.

Still he's got to change his evil ways, baby, or he'll be condemned to repeat them..
Gotta say...”Supernatural” is probably my favorite Santana CD.

True. And true that these people are playing with fire.
I thought that one was by The Bee Gees?
What does that mean, GMTA?
