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

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

If his words were genuine and not scripted by the powers that be in the industry...sure!

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

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.

What would be a good sign to bring to his next concert? Hmmm...got til next summer to think up a good one!
...are there any women in his stage show? What will they wear...TIE-DYE Burkas?!
Maybe they should bring VH1 along and have a bunch of guys just released from the Iraqi prisons play as the warm up band!
To: wimpycat
Sure he is plain vanilla these days. It's like everybody was born with one song of their own and he got to play his. It's still a pretty good song.
To: wimpycat
With his drug habits... more like Frosted Flakes.
Maybe Carlos wants to convey his spirituality in an islamic country, where they practice one of his many faiths.
What is he now anyways? A Catholic-Hindu-Wiccan-Buddhist-Muslim?
And if he wants to be like Jimmy Carter, wouldn't Carlos have to be a pathetic excuse for a nation leader, a very liberal Baptist preacher, a trying-too-hard humanitarian (in an attempt to make up for his previous malaise), a pawn in the socialist's U.N.'s game of cat and mouse with Bush, and an uncommonly embarrassing export from my dear Dixieland?
Oh yeah, and Alex Lifeson can play circles around that spaced out old man anyday.
To: Realm Weekly
Don't get me wrong. Carlos Santana is a first-rate guitarist; very jazzy, bluesy and latino all rolled into one. He's a first-rate musician, as well as a first-rate flake. He just needs to remember that he's an entertainer, not some Peacenik Pied Piper.

Alex Lifeson plays circles around CarlosCarlos doesn't play in circles -- he's the best.
He's also a real wacko!
To: FreeReign
Pick up a Rush album...let's say Vapor Trails or Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves. I will put that up against Carlos anyday!
To: Vidalia
While Santana was one of my favorite groups in the sixties, you have to remember they did take a lot drugs during those times. I imagine Carlos is probably operating with only a fraction of the gray matter he once had.
To: My Favorite Headache
Alex Lifeson plays circles around Carlos. Anyway, point is I listen to Rush for this
very reason. They play their music and shut their mouths when it comes to this crap.
I'm with you. Carlos and Co. have produced some decent rock music...but give me
Rush for loud AND melodic.
And if possible...ship Carlos and Jimmy Carter to Baghdad as soon as possible.
Apparently this would make them both happy.

Fascinating. And what does Brittany Spears say? That's probably why the UN hasn't voted yet. They're waiting to hear.

He hardly ever writes any of "Santana's" songs anyway. All he does is play guitar and now he's going to bringing in stars of today to keep him in the mix. He has no real talent. He's overblown and he's ludicrous. Has anyone heard the song "America" that was discussed in the article? I can just imagine how it lashes into this country with its anti-Americanism.
To: My Favorite Headache
And just how can duets with Michelle Branch and P.O.D. transform the globe?..."We play this music to remind listeners all the over the world that the constellation, the planet, the whole vibe is in you"... Uh huh. That oughta do it.
To: My Favorite Headache
Excuse me, Carlos, but did it ever cross your mind that they WOULDN'T PERMIT YOU to play in Iraq?
