The Estefans are real opportunists. They used to suck up to the Bushes all the time. Now they are just wealthy louncge act who suck up to anyone in power. If they were back in Cuba they would be sucking up to Castro. She is a fraud and I heard he is a pot head.
I hope Cubans who have family in Cuba and KNOW what socialism has done to them are watching this hypocracy and seeing firsthand what celebrity and power have done to someone who should have known better. This "party" in no way benefits those living under the ravages of Fidel Castro. So much for her fight against tyranny in Cuba. She's hosting someone who wants to bring that kind of lifestyle to Americans.......good going Gloria?
All that being said, it's not a recent series. To know that the Estefans have basically turned their back on the country that took them in from Mr. Busywhiskers and his tyranny kind of diminishes the whole "Hero" thing the reader tries to present. Estefan had an ok voice, and one of her solo discs had one or two songs that refer to God, so I was hoping that they were at least good Catholics. Too bad. I'll have to find something else to augment the story with besides an mtv or two with Miami Sound Machine. Anyone know of some singers who are REAL heroes, and who haven't forgotten their roots, or their purpose?
As a sidebar, one of the supplemental stories was about Mark McGuire and his home run record. A few of my kids who go to an extra reading program came back and told me that their teacher in the other class had a good laugh, and remarked, "Hero? The dude took steroids!" Damn. Another story I have to replace!!
