This is a bit sad, no?

Rolling Stone:

In the recent series of monumental arrivals in Cuba — Netflix, Airbnb, a U.S. president — none looms as large as the Rolling Stones, who played to an estimated 500,000 Cubans in Havana on Friday. On an island overlooked by time for more than a half century, the group became the focal point of life for at least a day. The iconic tongue logo sprouted up on T-shirts across Havana, and cabbies, bartenders and friendly locals asked almost anyone, “Do you know the Rolling Stones will play tonight?” as if to confirm that the concert was indeed real.

Not only was it real, it was free. In front of the Ciudad Deportiva de la Habana, there were no ticket touts or T-shirt vendors. For a convertible peso you could get a cone of popcorn or a bootleg Stones CD outside the gates. Men in traditional green military uniforms were present but unnecessary despite the charged atmosphere leading up to Cuba’s largest concert ever.

The Stones kicked off the night with the staple “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” The crowd — mostly flying Cuban flags, but Mexican, Argentinean and the Union Jack made appearances as well — gave an appreciative cheer when Jagger greeted them in their native Spanish, in between “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It)” and “Tumbling Dice.” “This is a new time,” Jagger observed to roars from the crowd, a nod to the Stones’ once-outlaw status in the country.

Whatever you think of Cuba and Cubans, they did have a system which shielded them from the destructive influences of Western culture. And it’s gone now.

The only country that still has such shields is Bhutan.

Being a product of Western society, I can only express my feelings about this with a rock song.

Anyway – a bunch of brown people.

I’m not going to romanticize it too much.

Who cares. I don’t care.
