Thx BG--Why don't you go? Sounds like a cool trip. Figured it would fire up the Bushys and my Avatar's Base(sarah the pitbull with lipstick) . It sure has all the Miami Right-Wing Looney Tune Cubanos hopping mad on Calle 8. LOL

I hope all their little pea brains explode.

(Coincidentally I'll be in Havana working at that time so I'll definitely catch the concert.)

Cheers,

Maybe Fidel and his brother will let the political prisioners out of jail to attend? Oh I forgot, all is good in Free Cuba....

I’m sure he will attract more spectators than when Audioslave played in 2005 - The first American rock group to play Cuba, attracting the largest concert crowd at 60K .

I'm sure he will, for several reasons... Audioslave was not known to the general Cuban populace, they did not get radio play in Cuba, and that concert was by and large a last-minute deal. The fact that they still attracted such a giant crowd shows how starved Cuba is for outside cultural impact - and that every single rock and roller in Havana was there of course...

Cheers,
Terry

With Che's Mug in the background, maybe he'll dedicate one of his songs like "Tengo una camisa negra" to the 1000s of Che's victims of La Cabaña.

Have been bitter for years that I missed Audioslave in Cuba! Check out the crowd...interesting... an interview I heard with Cornell about the concert made reference to the fact it was so different looking out and seeing the way the Cuban crowd "rocked out".

Listen to this interview too. Some of the Americans that haven't been to Cuba might find some of this interested, especially when the describe the mural ;)
