1:31:02
And I fell in love.
1:31:08
I fell in love with Fidel,
I fell in love with his dream.

1:31:21
It was going to be paradise.
1:31:27
I didn't know.
1:31:30
I didn't know they would stop you
from playing your music.

1:31:37
My wife got her heart broken.
1:31:40
It's like finding out that your lover
had been cheating on you all this time.

1:31:44
And it was over for her.
1:31:48
Just so I understand...
1:31:50
...what you're saying is you never
sympathized with the Castro regime.

1:31:56
Please, I mean no disrespect,
take a piece of pencil and write this down.

1:32:01
I have never ever,
sympathized with Fidel Castro.

1:32:05
He betrayed the idea,
he broke every promise he ever made.

1:32:08
Please, just write that down.
1:32:18
This is from The London Tlmes
earlier this year.

1:32:23
You're quoted as making favorable
statements about the Castro regime.

1:32:30
This is from a German newspaper,
Frankfurt, I think.

1:32:35
"The revolution gave me
everything I needed."

1:32:40
Is that an accurate quote?
1:32:42
I said it in Frankfurt,
in Stockholm and in Havana.

1:32:45
I had to say what I had to say.
I had to play the game.

1:32:49
You have to understand how that looks.
1:32:51
You come in here with an American icon--
1:32:54
Everyone in Havana,
every single person in Havana...

1:32:57
...has to have a double-face
in order to survive!
