Whoah dude, Carlos Santana? What the hell were you thinking? Last year Santana gave free concerts for our servicemembers stationed in Europe. It was a big deal there, and the concerts were packed. Take him off!

I have a feeling he's only up there for some comment, or he is exercising his constitutional right to have political differences with the President.

sorry, he stays. Telling concert-goers in Hong Kong that he condemns American action earns him a place on the list. You can buy all of his records, we're not telling you what to do, just informing others who feel as we do. These people will not see a dime of my money.

Carlos Santana's anti-war message late Saturday at a Hong Kong rock concert.


Ten songs into his 90-minute performance, Santana asked the crowd for 30 seconds of silence to condemn President Bush's foreign policy, the English-language newspaper The South China Morning Post reported.


"We are the other side of America," Santana was quoted as saying before an audience of 13,000 people. "We do not go along with George Bush. We are here to accentuate peace and compassion on the planet. God bless humanity."
