"Legalize marijuana and take all that money and invest it in teachers and in education"

"You will see a transformation in America." - Carlos Santana, in Vegas promoting his residency at the Hard Rock.

Once again, a random news item has set my thought process in motion and I now have decided to sorta make this a Random Tribute: Carlos Santana post.

I wish we all could've been there to see Carlos at Woodstock in real time, with his screw face cuz of his BFF lysergic acid diethylamide, 22 years old, so foxy & curly-haired & sleeveless & talented, ay papi. He had NO record deal when he played that show; this is why, as much as I've agreed over the years with A-Plus when he asks, "If you're really dope why ain't you signed yet?", I know this is not a hard-and-fast rule by which we measure musical talent.

On the wonders of dropping L just before going onstage:

"My guitar is like - like (an) electric snake. So that's why you see my face, you know, like making all these ugly faces, like, 'Stand still,' you know."
