Vaya Con Muñoz 7.2.16

In Vaya Con Muñoz

On June 29, 2016 the US Senate voted 68-30 to impose a fiscal control board over Puerto Rico and I bloviate on what a bad decision that is for a lot of reasons, starting with the US usurping Puerto Rico’s supposed autonomous government. President Obama ushered this terrible bill and promsied to sign. Still, the Massachusetts Senate delegation — Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, voted against it. Kudos to them. Art and cultural commentator Waleska Santiago talks about the art of children’s art, and why it matters, especially in times of distress. How children find self-expression through art is powerfully seen in their drawings of 9-11 or other horrific events.Filmmaker Larry Hott speaks with director Roger Sherman about the documentary “ In Search of Israeli Cuisine.” It’s about food, yes, and peace and war. You can watch the trailer here: www.israelicuisinefilm.com. And Eros Ramazzotti sings us out with a hard rocking “ Cosas de la vida,” the Spanish-language version of his original Italia-language song. Such is life.
