Vince, not many classical flautists with jobs. Way to show you don't get the diversity that is rap, though.

In other news, UK rapper “Lady Sovereign” was arrested for criminal offences by the Queensland Police.

AFAIK, unlike Cuba, Australia *doesn’t* consider rappers to be particularly dangerous, but they still manage to get themselves arrested.
Perhaps music which celebrates a culture of maleducation and criminality is bound to lead to trouble…?

Not many classical flautists getting themselves arrested, are there?

Cuba is a dictatorship that for 50 years has suppressed liberty and one of individualâ??s most valuable rights: freedom of speech.

The socialist ideology they preach is nothing more than a facade for a totalitarian government similar to the one Stalin used to kill millions of Russian during two decades of famine, assassinations and forced labor.

Hopefully, people would not forget history and they will understand that the Cuban illusion is nothing but a nightmare.
