I quit going to see Santana for the very same reason.
I didn’t appreciate the rant about “evil capitalism” from a clown that I paid $75 per ticket to see.
I’ve seen the Brothers many times and have never heard one word from the stage about politics. I know they are liberal in their personal lives, but these aging hippies have brains enough not to insult a good part of their audience.
I read an article a few years back about Gregg Allman. After having pissed away a couple of fortunes over his long career he finally pulled it together and became a serious investor.
I saw Santana twice (both in the late ‘80s), and thankfully he just shut up and played his guitar. Didn’t even see that many Che shirts in the audience. But yeah, he’s as radical left as they come. And he still speaks in hippy-dippy parlance.
Well, my sentiment was the same. He’s been back to El Paso twice and I haven’t gone either time.
