OK, so news came out that Carlos Santana is headed to Vegas. And, if the deal about the shoes isn’t enough to geeb you out and really; is there anything wrong with a 60 something-hairy legged-guitar player spending his free time designing woman’s shoes…that look like that?…Now, Carlos’ name will forever be in the context of Celine Dion and Elton John as post-mob, corporate strip, neo-quasi, Rat Packers in the lore of the town that gave good taste a bad name.

Never fear though, Carlos knows just what to say to put your mind at ease…from the L.A. Times

“I put in the contract that we will need 20 to 30 minutes in the middle of the set to do a back flip into the unknown,” he said. “I won’t know what that’s going to be; the sound and lighting people won’t know, the band won’t know. We need that just so we can reignite and reinvent ourselves.”
