Enjoy

There's more to it than that, from contactmusic (whose articles are not allowed on FR):

Basically, he's got a movie coming out that tells the truth about ol' Che. So, Mr. Garcia basically goes well beyond the rather mild sentiments expressed by this article. Good for him.

Garcia, who left Cuba when he was five, says, "I'd be curious to go around and ask them how much they really know about Che.

I'd say it's a safe bet that majority don't know who he is and what he did

"It closed down."

heh. The eight hour bread line restaurant concept just didn't quite work out in real life I suppose.

"The Lost City" is the name of Andy Garcia's film. If anyone wants to listen to either of today's interviews (and some others not mentioned by me) or any other WNYC programs, it seems they are available at www.wnyc.org This is today's progamming so I don't expect they'll be up for too much longer.

Andy has been outspoken at times about his political beliefs. He is one of the few stars who attended the convention who didn't care if his pic was taken or not - he was even interviewed. I don't know if he attended any of W's inaugurals. I know several actors and agents who attended but kept a low profile so their pics wouldn't appear in the rags. I have a lot of respect for Garcia.

This is a pretty good CD though.....it's out of print now. Kind of like Che'

2 of Garcia's movies I recommend:

"For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story" and for a great date movie, "When a Man Loves a Woman" with Meg Ryan.

"...they must have been thinking of Guevara"

Depends, if it was an Argentine joint then probably not. He (Guevara) was called che because it's so commonly used in Argentine talk. "Che" in Mapuche (a native group from the mountains of Argentina and Chile) means "people" and I suspect that is where it originally came from.

You and I both. I always thought he was the hottest actor out there. My perfect male. Except for my husband, of course.
