| Che Guevara: Still dead after all these years |
| 2007-10-06 |
| SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia - Fidel Castro insists Ernesto "Che" Guevara could never have been taken prisoner 40 years ago if his gun hadn't malfunctioned. But the retired Bolivian general who led the mission to capture him says the Argentine revolutionary was hardly a heroic figure in his final moments. The man that Gen. Gary Prado remembers — sad, sick, hungry, dressed in rags and alone in the jungle — simply dropped his gun and surrendered, saying, "Don't shoot, I'm Che." "He wasn't the figure of the heroic guerrilla," Prado recalled in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday night. |

| #9 Some time ago there was a nostalgia type concert on the local PBS TV station in which Eric Burdon of the old rock group The Animals appeared wearing a Che T-shirt. His voice was gone, his hair was short and graying and he was fat. It was pathetic. I still think some of the old Animal songs were great but I couldn't take seeing Eric this way. I changed the channel. |

| #2 The lad is still obviously loved at Rutgers and in leftest, communist academia circles. Mason Gross School of the Arts 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 08901-1959 April 30, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lara Hoyt, Coordinator for Public Relations and Alumni Affairs 732/932-7591 x512 publicrelations@masongross.rutgers.edu Forty years of Che Guevara at Mason Gross Galleries Concurrent show features fusion of visual arts and dance New Brunswick, NJ – Marking the year of the 40th anniversary of Che Guevara’s death, Mason Gross Galleries at Civic Square presents a show inspired by an extensive private collection of posters, dating from the 1960s to the present, that depict the iconic Marxist revolutionary. Opening May 9, “Beauty Is in the Street: The Iconography of Idealism” brings part of that collection together with specially commissioned contemporary artworks made in response to the posters as printed artifacts and as ideas. “The exhibition looks at the continued power of Che as a symbol of hope and of opposition across cultures,” said curator Gerry Beegan, a professor of visual arts at Mason Gross School of the Arts. “Whatever one might think of his beliefs, his use of violence, and his political failures, Che retains a remarkable cultural resonance 40 years after his death.” Same could be said for Adolf Hitler I suppose. |

| #1 Simon Bolivar still has fans here, but Guevara not so much. The only people I see in Panama wearing Che shirts are leftist Americans & Euros. |
