| Catalytic (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) | Posted: Nov 24, 2012 - 21:15 The background singers sound as bored of this song's excessive repetition as I am. I can just hear them thinking "Isn't this fucking thing over yet??" |
| lily34 (GTFO) | Posted: Oct 24, 2012 - 12:56 if you listen to this on a very low sound, the chorus sounds like ducks quacking. |
| joelbb | Posted: Sep 23, 2012 - 00:36 Very different for CW. Good cut. |
| MirageRF (Clemmons, NC, USA) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 12:44 This Spanish flavored set of tunes, including Charlie's, is refreshing. Thanks, RP. |

Your reward awaits you in the Socialist Workers Paradise. (A 1958 Chevy, runs good. No AC.) Say what you want about the American paranoia about Cuba that is left over from a bygone era when their relationship with the now-defunct USSR could have possibly caused your "democracy" some pain . . . the fact is that most Americans don't really understand Cuba and the wonderful people that live there. The fact that an offer like this would go without an answer while hundreds of people died is a testament to the bullshit ego that Bush had to hold onto just so he didn't run afoul of his father, his Vice President, and the Republican party. It's truly sad when people can't just be people. Real lives that matter. |
| ckcotton (Adding snarky comments since 2007) | Posted: Feb 14, 2012 - 15:33 Not bad for background music.... |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Jan 13, 2012 - 21:13 Perhaps so, it is played a lot there. |
| Baum74 (Düsseldorf, Germany) | Posted: Dec 13, 2011 - 02:53 Cool song! Bad ratings because it sounds Cuban? Anyways - in our space ship we be dancing ... |
| laozilover (Left of Chicago and up) | Posted: Jul 09, 2011 - 08:38 This song has an interesting background: A tradition of any Criollos game was to play the Panamanian tamborito song "¿Qué te parece, cholito?" (a social commentary song that attained hit status in Puerto Rico when one of its authors, Panamanian organ player Avelino Muñoz, moved to the island) From the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Miguel_Agrelot |

There are quite a few players now that don't get mentioned one is Rod Piazza from the west coast and he has a hell of a band, The Mighty Flyers. Another is Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds and the list goes on oops forgot Howlin' Wolf. That being said this isn't my favorite Musselwhite tune. Don't forget Little Walter. HarrO, at least no one claims that John Popper from Blues Traveler is a great harmonica player anymore. Couldn't stand his "style." |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 25, 2010 - 16:35 Yeah, repetitive. But then, we, being imperfect human beings, need constant reminders so we don't forget important things. I love Charlie Musselwhite. He is true to the music. |

Not the best forum, if you ask me. Besides - it might be best to learn all the facts prior to speaking! I think the facts are pretty clear. Cuba offered assistance and they were ignored. Cuba is recognised by most of the world in offering medical assistance to disadvantages countries. . . with the exception of the USA who don't seem to report it for some reason. Great tune btw! |
