Far out, man.

[Vidalia]

Did anyone in the room think to ask Carlos what he thought about Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin?

Or was it just another session of "Don't bogart that joint, my friend"...?

[conservativemusician]

In the words of the late, great Frank Zappa,"Shut up and play yer guitar."

[CaptRon]

"I Want To Be Like Jimmy Carter"

What? Spineless and stupid?

[Wolfie]

Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar...

[dasher]

It just goes to show that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to play a mean guitar. :)

[moodyskeptic]

Any pop musician presumptuous enough to refer to himself as a shaman has a shallow grip on spirituality indeed. Carlos has been speaking of angels and whatnot for years, but his politics are strickly Haight Ashbury hippie socialism for the lazy. He's about half as informed as he fancies himself.

By the way, I love his guitar playing, but he should let smarter people dabble in geopolitics.

Santana wants to be Jimmy Carter?

Santana was a leading rock guitarist in the 70s.

He probably has too many functioning brain cells to be Jimmy Carter.

It's good to see that Carlos is still so impressed with himself.

[Bobby777]

too many years of smoking grass I fear ... I love his music, saw him live in 1982 and 1983, excellent show ... but recently he was advocating all the "pluses" of grass until some of his people shuffled him off stage rather quickly ... maybe not in Iraq, but if he were to play his music in the wrong Islamic country, they might order a jihad to stop the music ... the Taliban would ... perhaps he hasn't realized that ...

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Santana probably won't tour the globe with all his guests, but one place he'd love to play is Baghdad. It's all part of his plan to unify the planet.

What an EFFIN MOROON.

Maybe he should join Bill and Ted in Wyld Stallions.

Santana, I love your music but for gawd's sake SHUT UP AND PLAY YOUR GUITAR!

[1Old Pro]

UGH, I used to like Santana.....

until I went to his concert this summer and he spent half the time preaching to the audience how we shouldn't go to war with Iraq.

[ThomasMore]

We should do concerts over there and show them that we can coexist

The man has smoked too much hemp.

[alethia]

I think that Carlos has imbibed on too much wacky weed (amongst other mind altering substances)over the past 30 years.

[lds23]

By the same token, he should have played Sun City during apartheid, no?

[wimpycat]

There's only one way I can convey what I think of Carlos Santana...

[RightWhale]

If Carlos Santana can bring peace on earth through the power of his guitar, then let him go to Baghdad. He'll probably want to do it sooner rather than later unless he intends to entertain mostly GIs.

This is you brain on pot....
