SANTANA STICKS IT TO BUSH

It's not surprising that even Carlos Santana is standing up to publicly condemn Bush - at the moment, Bush's ratings are so low concerned US citizens have been asking if they could swap Bush for the rotting corpse of Richard Nixon as "at least these was a man who sounded like he'd thought through his lies." Anyway, Santana issued an anti-war statement, which we present for you with the pointless guitar noodling removed:

"I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing," the 58-year-old rock icon said. "My concept is the opposite of George W. Bush."

"There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war," he said. "As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets."

Jimi Hendrix died after being shot by police. He had been attempting to rob a bank using a C Sharp.
