The Rolling Stones will play a free show there on Friday, March 25 (Easter weekend), the band announced. The performance at Havana’s Ciudad Deportiva de la Habana sports complex will be the country’s first open-air concert by a British rock band—and the Guardian reports that Cuba’s official newspaper, Granma, called the show “historic” and said it would “open the doors for other great bands to arrive in Havana.” The news comes on the heels of President Obama announcing he’ll visit Cuba this month.

mrother’s little helpers ……
Of course it’s free

food , medicine and a new carburetor for my ’57 buick.
How does one play Cuba? Is it like anything like yahtzee? It can’t be like Monopoly!
In the words of Castro, You can’t always get what you want, though some of that rum made from Brown Sugar might go down smooth
Castro’s hired Hell’s Angels to provide security.
Did he get written permission from FDR?
I do not believe the Stones will play for ‘free’. Somebody’s paying for them to perform, at least cover their expenses. “Free” always means somebody pays for it! Just ask Bernie or Cankles.
The personnel to do a Trolling Gnomes show is good sized and if the cars are any indication, the sound reinforcement gear is ancient, so they will have a huge footprint doing a show.
If just one of those poofters or the crew gets grievously sick while in Cuba, do you think they will stay and recover in the bosom of Cuban Medicine?
I think not
Keith Richards’ blood transfusion alone would bankrupt Cuba.
What a way that would be for them to go out! The Triangle is right there.
Is it mandatory to attend the concert?
I hate how Jagger seems to be full bore on the Obama train, but I saw the old geezers last year and they were probably the best show I saw – out of some two dozen shows I saw.
It’d have to be free, nobody there has any money (except the Castros).
unfortunately I met Keith Richards on Block Island once at the Block Island Broiler. Drunk and/or stoned out of his mind, slurring his speech badly, he insulted my girlfriend when she didn’t get out of his way. I grabbed the poncy git by the neck and was about to give him a piece of my mind when the bouncers saved his ass by throwing him the fuck out.
The beslobbered fucktard spluttered “Don’t you know who I am?” The bouncer came back with “yeah, my grandpa in rehab. Now get the fuck outta here.” Best $20 tip I ever spent.
