When Brenda and I were cruising the south coast of Cuba last winter we heard that the Rolling Stones were\u00a0giving a free concert in Havana. \u00a0Yes, I have written about this a number of times, most recently yesterday. \u00a0However, today it occurred to me that there might be something on YouTube worth sharing\u00a0about that amazing night in Havana.<\/p>\n

Before I get started though, this post tells the story<\/a> of our bus ride there and the concert. \u00a0 You will just have to forgive me to putting this link in two days in a row. \u00a0Just skip it if you saw yesterday’s post. \u00a0 There were, by some accounts, a million people there on that sultry night in Havana. \u00a0Everywhere we looked flags from around the world were being proudly waved.\"OLYMPUSSome old enough to have grown up listening to the band and some well, not so familiar with the phenomenon that the Stones have been for nearly 50 years. \u00a0A mother and daughter (I’m going with that) enjoying the evening. \u00a0Waiting for the concert to begin.\u00a0\"OLYMPUSIt was big news and likely the only drug free concert in the history of Stones concerts. \u00a0Yes, the Cuban government is very tough on drugs. \u00a0This CBS news segment gives\u00a0a good feel for the excitement we heard again and again from Cubans about change that is coming to Cuba. \u00a0Change for the good…they hope.
