In Cuba, they Dance!
The most insightful comment of the day on Cuba [via Mr Eugenides]:
INTERVIEWER: So you did some of your new album in Cuba?CRAIG DAVID: I had lots of misconceptions about it being a communist country and all that. It’s true that they’re not as privy as we are with inventions, food and so on. But they make up for it with incredible dancing.
Yes, well. Obviously being being able to dance makes up for living in a decaying country under a communist dictator. Who is resigning to be replaced by a slightly younger communist dictator. His 76 year-old brother.
Why are the leaders of Cuba so scared of democracy? Simply because they know that they’d get voted out. And besides, they like the power.
Besides, that the Cubans can dance is hardly a secret to anyone who has seen Dirty Dancing 2 [it was on at some point around Christmas when I was bored, ok?].
