I can’t get no satisfaction out of this!
Never cared for these guys. The commies too.
I would not blame the band
Historically bands go to give the people something they’ve never seen
Like Metallica in Soviet Union in the mid 80s
Cuba will fall now at some point
These guys are going to die off
And plenty ex Cubans nearby just aching to exploit it
Might not be peaceful even now
Nothing says Rock and Roll as Seventy old olds.
I didn’t either, and still don’t
I will NEVER VOLUNTARILY listen to Stones music again.
This tells me that the Stones are Commie Sympathizers.
Sympathy for the Devil
It’s sad, but those seventy year olds still rock harder than most of the stars in the under-30 crowd nowadays!
“Yup, Sympathy for the Devil truly crystallizes this Leftist adoration for totalitarians.”
You never caught the sarcasm in that song?!?
I was just using their title, not their sarcasm.
Not the first time the Stones played in a Communist country
Rolling Stones in Warsaw 1967

No reason we couldn't have made that happen earlier rather then later.
Think of the people who would have lived had we done that.
In 1850, the African slave population in Cuba was about 50% of the total population.
In 2016, Wikipedia states that just 9% of the total population is Black, which is actually smaller than the 13% Black population in the USA.
Is that 9% number accurate?
Does anyone here have better numbers on this issue, or an explanation for the collapse in the Black Cuban population?
The reason I ask is that no Left wing Americans ever criticize the fact that two European white boys - the Castro brothers - have been the dictators of Cuba for 56 years, and they have almost no Black people at all in their “government.”
Communists are really capitalists whose organize their corporation around the government. They are just as greedy but much more ruthless but than the globalists.
A warm climate feels better for aching old bones, especially for lifelong substance abusers -- and the Castros are druglords.
They joined the street fightin’ men in 1968 when western commies waged wars against police, academia, and the military.
They went out for their share of abuse at the demonstration.
Maybe Mick is going to get Castro to print up a bunch of red t-shirts with his picture on them, done in the style of Roman Cieslewicz, the artist who designed the iconic "CHE" poster which later morphed into a t-shirt image.
They'd sell like hotcakes.
