Santana Moonflower Rock Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Rock artist Santana has released him CD entitled Moonflower. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Santana fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Moonflower Santana’s artistic excellence is on full display as Santana has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Santana is one of those musicians that has the ability to just win you over with him talent. The kind of artist it’s really a treat to be able to listen to.

Overall Moonflower is a solid release. Quite possibly Santana's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Dawn / Go Within, track 4 - El Morocco, and track 9 - She’s Not There.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen. Good stuff!

I know hitler was mad and evil...but do you think...?

I KNOW he was mad and evil I KNOW!
but do you think history has made his ideas to be more mad then they were?
E.G. doesn't his idea of Ethnic seperation (one race to one place) actually make sense in some way? Is there not logic to it?
I mean, THINK ABOUT IT- wasn't there actually logic to SOME of his ideas?
If this idea took hold then there would be no trouble in say, Israel.
And also why does history say that he hated Black people (Americans say that he was DISGUSTED seeing black Jesse Owens win a race at the 1936 Berlin Olympics).
I know he hated GROUPS of people (like gypsies and homosexuals and of course jews), but not ethnic races.
+just to add. there was a LOT more racism back then, then there is now. I mean the 'heroic' America did not even let Black People Vote and their rights were very restricted.
How could America say it wanted to help the jews when this was happening to Black people in their own country.
And may i just say again- i am no supporter of evil Hitler!

No, you've got it muddled up. There was a very famous boxing match between a Black American and a White Nazi, it was about superioruty and Hitler was not amused that the Black guy won. He also hated the Spanish and claimed they were inferior; he claimed the Aryans as superior. Aryans were white. Do you get it yet?
Isn't a lot of the problems in the world cause by the seperatist mentality? And who are you to tell me that I cannot live among or know Black people? Or to tell them that they can't live here? What about people of mixed race, where do they go?
You keep asking this same question, but don't seem clear about your own motives. Don't keep going on at people to "think about it" as if we haven't already done so.
Maybe we think the way we do because we have thought about it, stop being so insulting.
Your question is very muddled and the only thing you seem to be clearly in favour of is segregation.
