Juanes Concert Impact

While reading the blogosphere and the news today, I found an excellent article worth sharing with all.
Here is a salient excerpt, "A new generation in Cuba wants change — maybe not a wholesale revamping of their system, but inclusion in the system, access to the Internet, to travel. A new generation of Cuban-Americans wants a normal, healthy relationship with its home country, regardless of their system of governance.
The changing of the guard at Versailles was not just symbolic. "That it took a Colombian rocker to introduce us to each other, to put us Cubans on the spot (believe me, this has become a real put-up or shut-up moment) and make us talk to each other, with the whole world watching … well, it’s kind of embarrassing."
