Located apparently on the left wing of the political songbird -which is not very agile, and on most days feeds like birds of prey- were the recent concerts in Havana by Juanes and Manu Chao. One of the artists dedicated his concert to peace and the other to Che.

No one knows what Robbie Williams was thinking about with 2006's Rudebox and thank god for that. After fracturing off from an iconic English boy-band in the late '90s, Robbie went supernova, living up a life of a half a dozen consecutive world-wide number one albums that all, in a form or another, fed off of the Venn diagram space between the long, steady after-effects of Britpop and the overpowering...

No, not the small little drums.

Both subspecies are facing constant threats;...

Any good? I've asked Father Christmas for the live album (I like live albums and they're usually good for a greatest hits selection - plus I hear that;s the way to experience him) Was that a good move?

Brad Paisley, "Welcome to the Future" The anti-"Born in the U.S.A.". Springsteen tells of dead cities; Paisley is tickled that he can play Pac-Man on an iPhone. One mourns losing family in Vietnam; the other glorifies family who fought in the Second World War. One observes the arrival of mass incarceration, and knows that's it's only going to get worse; the other thinks things are...

"I came for Manu Chao; I like his songs a lot. I've been following him since he was with the group Mano Negra. Every time he comes I'll be there to hear him. The last time he came with a group and performed at the Anti-Imperialist Bandstand. Today was lighter but more serious, though the lyrics and the music were the same. I liked it just as much," said Mariela.
