Why can't I enjoy Barbara Streisand's voice without endorsing her politics? <br /><br />In a perfect world, Willie and Barbara would just compose and sing and not express their opinions otherwise. NOTE that they are only examples.<br /><br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-19438420401952627472021-02-28T03:40:03.891-05:002021-02-28T03:40:03.891-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-50467641544111681062021-02-27T23:46:20.043-05:002021-02-27T23:46:20.043-05:00Can't say that I disagree with him about LeBro...Can't say that I disagree with him about LeBron's vacuous statements on politics and current events. <br /><br />I ran across Malmo in a book I recently read, Che Wants so See You. This is the memoir of Ciro Bustos (1932-2017), a lefty guerrilla of Argentine origin. His guerrilla bona fides include the 1960s action in Argentina's Salta province-Che was supposed to come but never did (Ciro says the Cubans double-crossed the project.)- and with Che's Bolivian adventure. He was the only Argentine that survived Che's Bolivian adventure. Captured with Regis Debray, 6 months before Che got killed. <br /><br />He ended up in Malmo as a political refugee in the late 1970s, having fled Chile after the 1973 coup and then Argentina after the 1976 coup. <br /><br />What I found interesting is that Ciro Bustos never integrated himself into Swedish society.Although Ciro Bustos has spent decades in Malmo, his contact with Swedes and his grasp of the Swedish language are minimal. Not very multicultural, is he? <br /><br />Regarding the best basketball player, my NE bias goes toward the winner of the most rings, Bill Russell. Not everyone will agree with me.RichardJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490819511630683969noreply@blogger.com
