Hi Soren:
You know comments such as what Carlos made can be interpreted in different ways. As you may know, I recently made a posting where I expressed discontent with the "Ultimate Santana" cd because I am tired of these collaborations and the quality of some of the "Artist" used in them.
However remember this is a Business. And Santana Inc, was not selling as many records, cd etc. I read his comment as saying Clive Davis made him a business proposition which netted him major sales. I do not feel he abandoned his old fans; he just tried a new format, suggested by Davis. After attending this present tour I am convinced that he will go back to his roots.
Lets face it, he did not ONLY pocket the money with his surge in popularity, it helped Aids victims in Africa and other needy people in Latin America and other areas.
Your entitled to your opinion Soren, but if you are so angry with Carlos and feel the way you do, why do you come to this board?
Adios,
Jose
