CHE At The Oscars?

Did you catch Carlos Santana's grand entrance at the Oscars? Well, the famed guitarist couldn't contain himself. He stopped for the photographers, smiled deliriously and swung his jacket open. TA-DA! There it was: Carlos' elegantly embroidered Che Guevara T-shirt. Carlos' face as the flashbulbs popped said it all. "I'm so COOL!" he beamed. "I'm so HIP! I'm so CHEEKY! So SHARP! So TUNED IN!"

Lest we get carried away with merely laughing at your stupidity, I'll pass along the thoughts from Cuban music legend Paquito D'Rivero. He wrote his recent letter to you in Spanish. "My command of English wouldn't allow me to fully express my indignation" at your cheeky Oscar gig, he explained.

Seems that Mr. D'Rivera had relatives among those your T-shirt icon jailed, tortured and murdered.

I guess you can be a great guitarist, and still be an idiot.

I'd hardly call Carlos Santana "great".....same old licks over and over again since the first Santana album.....danceable music but hardly "great"
