HAVANA (AP) — The Rolling Stones unleashed two hours of shrieking, thundering rock and roll on an ecstatic crowd of hundreds of thousands of Cubans and foreign visitors Friday night, capping one of the most momentous weeks in modern Cuban history with a massive celebration of music that was once forbidden here.

The week opened with the arrival of President Barack Obama in Air Force One, accompanied by more than 1,000 employees of a government that waged a cold war against Cuba for more than 50 years….

The Rolling Stones were the biggest act to play Cuba since its 1959 revolution brought a communist government to power and isolated the island from the United States and its allies.

Far from the Cuban and international elites, ordinary Cubans said they felt shot through with energy, reconnected with the world.

"After today I can die," said 62-year-old night watchman Joaquin Ortiz. "This is like my last wish, seeing the Rolling Stones."



Meanwhile, stodgy old Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate look for ways to continue the 50+ year old Cuban Embargo….

No big deal . . . . . . it's only rock n roll but I like it . . . . . yes I do!

I saw the Rolling Stones at the NO Superdome with George Thorogood...1981. Here, Knot:

I get a kick out of Mick Jagger's skinny chicken legs dancing around the stage. He really can't sing but they made good songs.

I agree Viking, they did cut some good tunes but today Mick can't sing a lick!
