Carlos Santana was reunited with one of his bad made from the nineteen sixties
he was a percussionist
and he was known as markets the magnificent Malone
they actually lost communication right before what stock in 1969
it turned out that markets had gotten arrested
and imprisoned for manslaughter and as a result
he was an able to be with the band once they kinda blew up of course they blew
up later
%uh and he was homeless he got a prison and he was living on the streets and the
way that they got reunited is so amazing so it turns out there was a local news
station
karo and four in Oakland and they were doing a story about
illegal dumping in Oakland and apparently they were speaking to markets
Malone
edmark Melo told them hey you know what I used to be
in Carlos and Hannah's Bend back in the nineteen sixties
and they're like there's no way that that's true well turns out it was true
because Carlos Santana contacted the station and wanted to get in touch with
them
and once they got the Touch Pro cent and said hey you know what I would help you
out
which I love so I'm markets that the following
you don't know how hard I prayed to get to see you
so that's what he said to Carlos Santana looters positive for you
kill catch him praying for about forty four years
yeah and you like anybody who talked to many year
37-year 43 like dude elsewhere
easy on the prayer he doesn't work for 43 years
nine-year 44 as luck would have it
he is reunited with karl said a I'm not a big believer in prayer
and maybe there was a more efficient way to do that rather than waiting around
the streets of Oakland and praying
but but it's a nice story about how that particular dream came true
I know it is it's a very feel-good story and I love the fact that
Carlos Santana wants to do the good thing and help his friend out
you know now he did say the following I want to offer him a place to stay in an
apartment get him some clothes and just get him
out on the street I want to offer my brother Marcus Malone an opportunity to
record
on the next album with the original band with Greg Raleigh
dude if he got to record again
how X static would he be so that's a great story
but is it also I like not to get into really sad depressing part of the story
but
is it also a perfect example of how our justice system works like okay so he was
convicted of manslaughter he served time in prison as a result of that
but he was on the up-and-up like he was in a bad that was about to blow up
things were going for him
and then all the sudden he goes to prison he serves his sentence right
hmm and when he gets out there's no system in place to help in transition
into society he ends up on the streets just like many people they get in prison
so yeah I'm of two minds about look the part of the story that is less feel good
is that with the prison for manslaughter
so there's not like your arm and a car I pick it up slice a pizza and then
yeah there was a second striker so you know I can I could be honest with you
before I did more research to find out what he got arrested for
I thought I immediately assumed it was drugs because like I heard one stop
there in a bad writer I got caught with some pot or something like that and
that's the reason why
he was arrested but now with my father and son with a little different yeah
so that's a significant crime so it's all understandable why his life when the
route that it did
but as Ryan is funny because republicans who was I gotta get tough on crime as
ever
put these guys way make sure they don't learn anything just punishment it sir
well when they go to jail themselves like to Cunningham former Republican
congressman
they always got everything or more you know how bad it is injure
we'd ever for materials that's crazy man
and it turns out people come out have no opportunity ok or
purse as bad as whatever mark is originally did was we don't know details
the case
an israeli he did his time and when he comes out you get at least give the guy
a fighting chance
in and obviously didn't have that that's why one up in the streets
and now Carlos Santana saying well I got your back brother you get a chance I
love that he is doing that
because some people they get wealthy they became they become
Bemis and they get a complex like they they're not interested in helping out
their friends
and so I love the fact that he did reach out to him
and he's gonna try to improve this god-like yep
gold markets Malone go call center
