It is too bad this kid could not stay in the USA. Instead he gets forcibly returned to Cuba and has now been brainwashed. So sad, so sad.

By the way, I expressed concern recently about the new and updated Das Rheingold at the San Francisco Opera. Well, I saw it on Saturday night and enjoyed it despite some of its silliness with one such thing being the plastic and aluminum patio furniture at Valhalla. There were others but at least the music was very well performed although the Mark Delavan and Jennifer Larmore were not quite up to the task.
