No.Didn't most people in Latin America grow up with music in English?
Yeah, an arena of 50,000 or so in Mexico City which has a population of around 21,000,000. Do the math.Everybody from Queen to Taylor Swift have sold out arenas there.
To be fair, if an arena has a capacity of 50,000 "or so," even the biggest Mexican, Spanish-speaking-only, wide-appeal-to-the-lower-classes act in all of Latin America wouldn't attract more to that arena than Taylor Swift or Queen did. It's a straw man argument to say "do the math."No.
Many people in the A and B socioeconomic levels do listen to stations with some or all music in English. But in the C, D and E economic levels, few do. And that is where 80% of the population is found. They listen to Spanish language music genres, including whatever is the "country music" of their region (norteña and banda in Mexico, vallenato in Colombia, merengue and bachata in the Dominican Republic, etc) as well as pop in Spanish. And for the under 30 group, in much of Latin America it is reggaetón and its derivatives.

Given what’s happened already, it’s entirely plausible. He will destroy anything to get his way.The real problem is that the stated intent has turned into a convenient excuse for taking anyone into custody who "looks" wrong. That is not what our country was founded on, and I half-expect the idiot-in-chief to have the inscription at the base of the Statue of Liberty removed any minute now.
Keeping the toddler from throwing more tantrums is all well and good, but I think we’re missing the larger issue: they absolutely want to run roughshod over our rights. This has been the goal for a long, long time. If at some point the proverbial grim reaper comes for the lead imbecile, as he does for every single one of us at some point, the decimation of our rights isn’t going to taper off.Bad Bunny doesn't bother me in the least. He is talented and he is legitimately making money with that talent. Just because a bunch of low-IQ MAGAs don't like it, just because the doofus occupying the Oval Office is looking for an excuse to make them happy, just because his cabinet and the members of his party in Congress want to keep him happy, is no excuse for riding roughshod over our rights, including twisting FCC rules to meet whatever Carrtoon wants them to.
Indeed.I hope this goes nowhere, but sadly I can't be certain of that.

Reality check: Bad Bunny did sing a portion of the song "Safarea," which describes sexual acts — though the suggestive words were bleeped during the broadcast.
- The performance also included a brief homage to Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina." While the chorus is a euphemism, none of the lyrics sang were explicitly sexual.
- Bad Bunny did not once say the "f-word" during the performance, contrary to Fine's suggestion.

It's always fun to watch someone who says they couldn't understand a word then say---"but it was dirty!"
Get the Congressman a 45 of "Louie Louie". That'll keep him out of our hair for months.
And of course the other party has never done such a thing. 🙄This isn't about language. It's about culture. The party in power wants to regulate culture. They're not shy about it either.
