Cuban punk rocker (who knew?) Gorki Águila is not a fan of Fidel Castro’s revolution.
“Communism is a failure. A total failure,” he says. “Please, leftists of the world-improve your capitalism. Don’t choose communism!”
Águila, who still lives in Cuba, wears homemade anti-Castro t-shirts, frequently denounces the Raoul and Fidel, and leads what may be Cuba’s only political punk band, Porno Para Ricardo. He is often arrested and charged with “social dangerousness.”
Cuban officials granted Águila a rare visa to travel abroad, hoping that he’ll travel overseas and stay there.

Raul called me and asked what to do with the guy. “Raul, I'm gonna tell you the same thing that I told Fidel, when he called. Take him over to the Malecon, hand him an inner-tube and say, “Adios amigo”. I guess he made it.
Viva la Revolution! (33 rpm )
Castro needs scientology
I doubt he will get a invite to the White House anytime soon.
Cuba is the only country in the world without the swine flu. The virus absolutely refuses to go there.
Maybe Hillary could arrange a swap with the Castro Brothers. They send us Gorki Aguila and we send them Barry Manilow.
If communist Cuba is so damn great, explain the 1 way traffic? Nobody is fleeing America to go to Cuba, not even for it's kick @$$ health care. It all Cubans risking death to escape Castro's utopia.
and yet, no one will listen
