Carlos Santana (placeholder)

I was 16 and it was my first concert!!!

He is one of the greatest living classic rock guitarists and at the same time able to reinvent himself with the times. He also seems to play for the love of the music rather than the fame.

Let’s see, he is musically inclined and has fashion sense. I buy all his music and a couple of pair of cute sandals…I would love to meet and greet with him.

I was a broadcasting student in San Francisco and was asked by a college adminiatrator that Carlos Santana was going to be on campus for an event. The administrator asked me to interview Santana for the college radio station. I wasn’t sure what to ask him, and I was so nervous.

When I met Santana, I admitted my nervousness. He reassured me that it was okay, and I went on with the brief improvised interview. He came across as a gentle, sincere and kind person in a most authentic way. I have to say that I was fortunate to have met him.

i had the pleasure of seeing Carlos Santana at Pine Knob a few years ago. Awesome concert!! i have seen several interviews and have read articles on him and his passion for life and helping others. i would love the chance to sit down and talk to him about the difference man can make on our world.

He was playing the Budokan in Tokyo in the late 1970s. He’s as good today as he ever was then.

True Story! At a concert in New Orleans in 99’ A few girls got on stage to dance for the crowd, So I thought hey why don’t I sneak around the dancing girls and just dance with Carlos. Ok so I did, I got right in front of him and started doing my thing and he was enticing me for more with his guitar at least that’s the vibe I was getting from him. So we were dancing for at least 1 good minute, when security came and snatched me off stage. I was thrown in a cop car and went to jail. I was so humiliated, my friends were trying to help by telling the cops I meant no harm to Carlos, but it didn’t work. So I sat in jail (6 hours) I just had a gut feeling that Carlos Santana himself would be outside waiting for me with the limo, my friends, the works and it would be a dream come true to finally meet him. To my poor little heart it was my Abuela with THE LOOK and we all know what THAT LOOK means. Let’s just say I’m still upset that Carlos Santana didn’t tell anyone to get me out of the PADDY WAGON. That was not cool Carlos.

A buddy of my got diagnosed with cancer – through Make-A-Wish Foundation, we met Carlos backstage in Portland, Oregon… I’ll always remember what he said to us that night… “Faith is the substance of things unseen.” – I think he was high…

i met this cool ass guy at a gardening expo. . .. wtf was he doin there?? go figure. . . its a small world
