Carlos Santana Speaks Out Against Bush
LIMA, Peru (AP) - Carlos Santana quoted his old friend Jimi Hendrix in an anti-war message here Monday and said his philosophy is the antithesis of President George W. Bush's.
"I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing," the 58-year-old rock icon said. "My concept is the opposite of George W. Bush."
Santana, speaking to Peruvian journalists ahead of a Tuesday concert, said young people's opposition to the war in Iraq is reaching the dimensions of the anti-Vietnam war sentiment in the 1970s.
"There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war," he said. "As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets."
In 1971, Santana was prevented from performing in Peru by the military dictatorship, which deemed his music an "alienating" force. Santana returned to perform in 1995.
A voice from the past is still relevent today! Though Jimi is no longer with us, his music and words live on, as they should. Thank you Carlos Santana for being a voice of yesteryear and today.
Now, only if I could get Carlos to do some serious guitar playing stuff and stop jerking around with these pop singers, then, we would be on a serious high!
Only the STUPID PEOPLE can't relate to Carlos Santana!SANTANA
