French anti-Americanism has rarely been so awesome:

That's via Reihan.

At 5 minutes, 13 seconds, that was about...five minutes, 13 seconds too long.

In punishment, you get to view a live performance by Andrea Corr of her anti-war song "Shame On You" in Barcelona:

Let's see - women guards in tank tops. Some of whom were shaking their booty.

Clearly a reflection on the torture regularly inflicted on the prisoners at Guantanamo by our horrific military.

The guy is from Côte d'Ivoire - the music sounds definitely like one of those African things - but then again, I don't know my Makossa from my Soukouss, from my Coupé Décalé. I like these styles - dancing with sometimes real guitary awesomeness.

Doesn't mean you couldn't find him hanging around Pigalle or Barbès, that said, and that would explain where he caught the anti american bug and started meanly critisizing Guantanamo.

Then again, maybe he just found the dance steps, and then put a story around it it - it seems like everybody tries, in these musics, to contribute the Next Big Dance Step.

Yeah, I was gonna say, this looks a lot more like Congolese or Ivoirian anti-Americanism. And for yabonn -- it's soukouss, not makossa.
