Carlos Santana

35 years. 1 trick. Tedious. Jeez, Hank Marvin's had more changes of direction than the moustachio-d one.!

This is the man responsible for one of the greatest ever Albums, Abraxas and who gave us the awsome Samba Pa Ti. he even managed to turn a Fleetwood Mac song into a thing of beauty.

And whats he doing now? Going through the same old tired licks for a procession of ever more anonymous whey-faced American songstresses.

One good song in 20 years, count 'em, one! Blues the Healer. And that was John Lee Hooker's song!

In terms of effort, he really is the Rik Waller of rock.

So here's a plea. Carlos, buy a new guitar. Preferably one that doesnt make that diddle-diddle-diddle-dee sound. Write some more new songs, get the old band back together and no more collaberations purleeeease! Not unless you can coax the mighty Morrissey out of retirement.

Thanks for listening URWFRC. I knew you'd understand. I'll go back to "General" now. They're due a new thread on HRM's soon and I dont want to miss out on the excitement. hey-ho.
