Rev. Santana?

I've never been much of a fan of Carlos Santana's music. As a guitar player, I certainly respect how much he can shred. But I guess "Black Magic Woman" was a little too groovy and "Smooth" a little too Matchbox 20-y for my tatses.

But I was really intrigued by Santana's interview in the new Rolling Stone. In it he talks about his spirituality and desire to retire from music and become a preacher in six years. He also talks about the pain around the end of his 34-year marriage. Oh, and how now that he's single he's been dating a ton and "quite sure he doesn't need Viagra." All righty, then. I guess you can't expect a guy that plays 8 minute solos to have much of a filter.
