“Chan Chan” is an original song by the late Cuban artist Compay Segundo. It’s the opening track on the soundtrack to Buena Vista Social Club, a fascinating movie that documents the story of several Cuban jazz musicians. Buena Vista Social Club is available on NetFlix and is highly recommended. You’ll love it, and if it doesn’t work out for you, put your hand out like the rest of the country in hopes the government will bail you out of your situation.

Jersey nightclub bans overweight women
July 30, 2008Havana’s, a popular nightclub on the New Jersey shoreline (oh crap, where is this going?), decided to not allow some big girls in their club last week in his club. Club manager Martin Sayers said he’d had numerous complaints from other customers about the number of overweight women frequenting his club. So, he decided to ban them, but allowed overweight men to come into the club.
Naturally, this pissed a few people off, so their natural reaction was to form a Facebook group, “Stop Havana Club Discrimination.” They’re planning a protest this Friday……
Me personally, if I was refused entry, I probably wouldn’t want to go back there. I certainly wouldn’t be marching to be allowed back in…….Like it or not, it’s a private club, so the management can refuse entry to pretty much anyone they want. If it’s a real problem, a smart entrepreneur would open up a club catering to bigger ladies…..
You know what, screw that ladies. Watch this video below taken at Neptunes in Long Island. You’re doing yourself a favor by not going.
Ok, ok, I know, they’re not in Jersey, so I’m sure it’s totally different there. Let’s ask these gentleman in the next clip. NSFW language.
