Silvio Rodriguez plays sold-out Concert at Carnegie Hall (el Bloqueo sigue del carajo!)
Castro's court musician/eunuch, Silvio Rodriguez, just played a sold-out concert in Carnegie Hall.
Fascinating Rock Trivia: In '69 Cuba's Stalinist regime asked this popular Cuban folk-rock singer to help "build a bridge" between itself and Cuba's "hippies." The repression a few years earlier against these "roqueros" and "delinquents," the regime now admitted, was clearly misguided. So now, if these "hippies" would help "the Revolution" in it's 10 thousand ton sugar harvest for 1970, their long-hair, "anti-social attitudes" etc. would be forgiven and all would live in harmony and happily ever after.
The regime tasked popular folk-rocker Silvio Rodriguez, to announce a concert and gather the youngsters together in a sugar central, and after the Woodstock moment all would grab their machetes and take to the fields to harvest cane.
The gathering took place...but whoops? Where was Silvio...? Instead of Silvio, police and military trucks pulled up, arrested the "hippies" en masse, and herded them into forced-labor camps at Soviet bayonet point.
Silvio Rodriguez then became the Stalinist regime's favorite singer.
We shall certainly look for MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone, etc. to enlighten their readers/viewers on this fascinating bit of rock trivia!
And just in case these eminent media outlets employ Spanish translators, here's more details in Spanish!
You might recall how Cuban exile Geandy Pavon, projected the image of freedom-martyr Orlando Tamayo on Stalinist Cuba's New York "office." Well, he projected it again last night on Carnegie Hall. You GOTTA love this guy!...And we anxiously await the MSM (so chronically vigilant for "cheeky" and "edgy" political demonstrations) to mention this bit of cheekyness !
I always seem to flash to that scene from "The Lost City" where the castro/che henchwoman takes the saxophone from the club owner ... well, you know the rest.
And we had this idiot here about 48 hours ago that was trying to sell us Silvio's artistic virtues.
Comemierda is the nicest word I can label that asswipe character (he knows who he’s).
There must be something in the water lately as Babalu has been getting strange visits from these type of characters.
What words can describe the hatred I have for those who paid to see someone come into our country and defend a spy who came to do damage to our country.
Anyone who would go or pay for Rodriguez' products is a moron.
I wonder how long before Gloria plays La Plaza de la Revolucion?
Pototo -
Not to worry. Won't be long, the way it's going. She's old. She's heavy. No hits lately. She's a shoe-in for 'promoting freedom through revolucion for youth' award from cagasstro.
Manahattanite elites will gladly buy her concert DVD's and laugh at anyone who tells the truth about this betrayer.
They're the one's lenin was talking about when he quipped that line about buying the rope from which they'll be hung.
Commies love to pull their gags right out in public in NY, knowing the libs will not only fall for them, but gladly pay to be abused and set-up.
Rodriguez' squeaky, whiny, vocals on those wretched maudlin songs R. Progreso - 640 easily heard here along with 890 etc. - reek of treachery, betrayal, and being professional castro promoter - always the first to be done away with once their usefulness reaches its end.
Prediction: Oliver Stone will do a "Silvio Rodriguez: Life Story of a Crusader for Free Youth" film like that pile he gassed off about che a while back - which took in about thrity, forty bucks around the world, plus some loose change.
The above story is a vital parable, as is clearly demonstrates the way that communists always betray any and all who fall for their death-dealing lies.

This was the time when American and European long hair "radicals" were infesting Cuba with revolution tourism. These long haired useful idiots who were traitors to their nations were treated as honored guests by the communists while Cuban men and women of the same generation had a Soveit made boot on their neck.
I wish I knew about this. I would have handed out flyers with the above story of betrayal.
Remember, most of the New Yorkers in the audience were of that generation or older and love to scream 1950's "blacklist" at every opportunity.
And of course, all the supposedly sophisticated, "progressive" and ever-so-fashionable people who paid to hear this shameless shill for a horrendous tyranny are utterly pleased with themselves in their holier-than-thou amorality. Oh, yeah, I love New York. I mean, why wouldn't I?
Needless to say, if a truly great musical talent with close ties to a right-wing dictatorship had played New York, none of the people who thought it OK to attend Silvio's concert would have been caught dead attending the other one. It's called a double standard, but never mind.
I know it's a bit off a side road here but is anyone else loving Helen Thomas's current 'troubles' for flapping her gums? It'll bow away shortly, she'll keep her front row seat and place in the White House press pool. But had this been Major Garrette making a similar remark, plug in 'blacks go back to Africa' or 'Hispanics go back to Mexico' he would not only be OUT of the WH pool, but FOX would have cut him loose.
Go back to Africa? Go back to Mexico? Are you kidding? Automatic career suicide, no matter how much apologizing was done after the fact. But yes, this nasty, and I mean NASTY, dried-up old witch (those photos! OMG!), she'll get a pass. Even, I'm afraid, from liberal Jews. She may be hideously ugly (and not just physically), but she would never have dared say something comparable involving a truly forbidden target like blacks. She knows the score, like all her kind.
UPDATES:
1) WH throws the old lefty moonbat under the bus
2) Hearst has announced old lefty moonbat's WH road-kill will be retiring
3) Jewish Rabbi that video-taped old lefty moonbat before WH bus-roll says more Helen videos coming
Well, she's almost 90, WAY past retirement age, so nobody has to feel especially "guilty" for, uh, curtailing her career. And, of course, she wasn't as smart as Oliphant, who completely got away with his vile, libelous anti-Cuban slur in the Washington Post. Cuban exiles, as everyone knows, are the only truly safe minority target, as the MSM (and any SOB who wants to) keeps proving, and enjoying, over, and over, and over...
Still, I'm surprised at this much backlash, though the old witch dug a pretty deep hole for herself. And yes, Jews are far better at self-defense than Cubans, and rather better positioned to do it successfully. Good for them.
