Carlos Santana’s Cosmic Bummer

10/3/08, 1:45 pm EST

It’s been almost 10 years since Supernatural earned Santana 10 Grammy nominations and eight awards, and once again positioned him as a major musical force. He’s happy for the success, of course, but right now he wants to look not to the past but to the future, to what’s on his agenda seven years from now. That’s when he plans to hang up his guitar for good, start a church in Maui and become its resident preacher.

The guitar legend opens up about the seven times “suicide was knocking,” his painful divorce and darkness in his past as he rehearses for a tour promoting his 38th album, Multi Dimensional Warrior.

why wait seven years?

I’m pretty sure B, the guy below me, has no idea what exactly Carlos Santana has done for guitar-driven music.

Sounds like a hipster (douchebag) pessimist-without-a-point to me. (doesn’t quite have the same ring as “Rebel Without a Cause”)

Santana lost it years ago. Not worth a shit at this point. Maybe…MAYBE, if he stops wearing t-shirts of himself….

What exactly did Santana “lose” years ago? Are you saying he “jumped the shark”? Yeah, he’s so over the hill and unsuccessful. So I guess the only way he can earn middle-class white-boy emo poseur street cred is if he stops wearing t-shirts of himself. A laughable comment from a useless, jealous, “anonymous” douche.

I’m pretty sure H.Bomb is very full of himself.

Sounds like an “I know so much more about Santana than everyone else” SOB to me.(Does’nt have the same ring as “Go f&ck yer’self”

one of the top ten guiterists of the last 40 years

Carlos is clean and closer to God than what the obvious is with the liberal dummies with their head stuck where the sun don’t shine.
To live is to dream. To die is to awaken. Don’t wake me up.
I suppose you support abortion but don’t want to kill terrorist.

The shirts he wears of himself are to promote his Milagro Foundation,the music he plays is to soothe our noise-filled ears,Ted Nugent discarded the guitar Carlos shot to fame with his 24-fret, 24½”-scale custom guitar.
Carlos is not only a musician but a magician,he makes the guitar weep emotionally and unlike the rest of the rockstars,he has discipline.
