Another First for Cuba: A Concert by the Rolling Stones

HAVANA — Five decades after his music was banned in this Communist country, Mick Jagger stood — and sang, jumped and performed his signature dance moves — before hundreds of thousands of adoring fans Friday night in Cuba and declared: “Times are changing.”

You can't force change artificially through wars or sanctions, you win the battle through influence. Rub freedom in their faces, and the people will grow tired of the bubble they've been living in.

I give the Castro Regime another five years.

“You have to understand, we have never seen such a thing,” said Tatiana Corrales, a construction company administrator who attended the concert with her 25-year-old daughter and her daughter’s friends. “For us, a concert is a little platform where you get to dance a little and have a nice time. This has been a really convulsive week for Cuba. We’re leaving behind the capsule we’ve been in for over 50 years.”

Ms. Corrales said the concert was especially meaningful for people of her generation, who were born at the start of the 1959 Communist revolution and were forced to listen to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles in secret on smuggled records. For years, she had no idea what Mr. Jagger or Keith Richards looked like.

“If there’s something that opens political doors, it’s music,” Ms. Corrales said. “Music has no barriers, not gender, race, or economic.”

Communism has been defeated, Cuba just doesn't know it yet

Yes, they will be a fascist state, just like us, in no time.

Oh, the U.S. is fascist now? Do explain.

That's nice the Stones gave the concert. I'm sure it was very special for many people there.

Fascism is when the government controls the output, but not the production, of goods and services. We become more fascist everyday.

First of all, Cuba is not communist. There has never been a communist country. Learn what communism actually is before starting a thread on it.

LOL! Defeated? Have you not met Obama, Hilary and Bernie?

Communism defeats itself. The government can't run an economy better than the free market.
