    Santana used to be awesome long, long ago, before he did collaborations with Rob Thomas and women's shoe designers
-this is so hard to believe, given the absolutely awful songs he put out with Rob Thomas.

When he hit the scene he was a phenom. A teenager playing the same stages as the biggest acts in San Fran in the late 60's. He's mentioned a good deal in Bill Graham Presents, a must read for any fan of rock and roll.

I read his biography in like 6th grade. It gave me a much better image of him as, like you said, a young phenom. The passion coming out of Abraxas was awesome, dude was a prodigy. I think he's just old now. Eh.
