Che It Isn't So
At least there is one person in my life who understands my Che obsession.My friend, Cuba Jen (so named because I traveled with her in Cuba) just got home from a three-week trip to South Africa.
She returned home happy to report that Che is thriving in Cape Town.
She filled a recent evening with tales of her assorted Che-sightings and just sent three emails loaded down with photo attachments as proof.
Among her Che-booty was this disturbing shot.
Who -- oh who? -- would ever think it appropriate to adorn dear Che with Mickey Mouse ears?

Yeah, I thought it was kind of weird too, but I think it comments on the commercialism and capitalism surrounding Che's image--he so wouldn't approve. This was found in the window of a shop where Che mingled with the likes of Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley. BTW, this isn't just Che with Mickey ears--it's also a lamp :)

Che turned lamp?
He wouldn't approve.
Or would he?
I mean, after all, he is illuminating our lives.
