About Juanes in Habana…

So you have a few, and I mean an embarrassingly small number of Cubans in Miami joining a protest where they burned down a black shirt (for Juanes‘ hit “Tengo la camisa negra“). One of the old geezers took a hammer to a bunch of Juanes’ Cd’s. Others shouted anti-communist slogans while yet others sat in beach chairs for their 5 minutes of newspaper glory. Otherwise, apart from the usual circus in Miami, things are pretty quiet.

Willy Chirino, one of my favorite Miami Cuban artists, issued a press release which frankly, we really could have done without. The intent to please everyone including Juanes could be cut with a knife. In the first paragraph, agreeing with him going to Cuba and doing his concert, in the next paragraph accusing Juanes of being in cahoots with the castro clan.

Folks, let’s be honest here. Castro has been in power for fifty years, other people are tired of waiting on your thickheaded plans of starving him to

death to go to Cuba and enjoy themselves. The rest of the world is tired of waiting around for you to take him down, do away with him, bring him to justice, or whatever it is you feel you are going to accomplish by being just about as bad as he is. In short, he’s already won, you lost. The famous and historic exile you used to be is now a tired old loser. Oh fidel didn’t really win in the game of competency, but he surely kicked your ass from here to kingdom come. And no, that policy where you wait on a distance shore to claim victory when your enemy dies of old age is not a solid policy of war.

Actually, it makes you look like idiots. I know, I know, you’re going to accuse me of being a castro supporter and a communist. And I am going to yawn and change the channel cause this Juanes thing is just another rerun of a lost episode of the cuban stupidity channel. Blind bats leading even blinder idiots.
