Read how Ruth Merry (from London) almost
wet her pants upon seeing the tyrant Fidel Castro who she described
as:
After the concert, we all went to the Presidential Palace
to individually shake hands with Fidel Castro! Never mind Bonnie
Raitt or Montell Jordan, I said FIDEL CASTRO!! Standing in the
queue to see 'da man', I was suddenly hit by the relative nature
of fame. Here were all these huge stars, quaking with anticipation.
Andy Summers stood next to me with his copy of Castro's 'History
Will Absolve Me', nervously contemplating asking Castro to sign
it - which he did. When a Cuban lady suddenly appeared at my
side, hacking her way through the ornamental shrubbery looking
somewhat hysterical and on some sort of mission, I lost any composure
I might have had before, and degenerated into a heap of nervous
giggling for the rest of the evening!
