"Alberto spoke of the influence this early middle-class Buenos Aires rock had...for young people it meant finding a cultural expression outside of what those in power, those military governments, wanted to force on everyone," 3. "Maybe Fernandez realized that Argentines expect more serious talk than his opinions on soccer, since in Argentina there are more than enough people talking about that sport...the most interesting things Alberto can contribute are about other matters" 4. "Rock seems to be a language totally alien to leading politicians...but which he uses very credibly because he not only talks about discs but he knows how to play the guitar. These are novelties that I believe bring him closer to popular culture" SANTIAGO BARRIONUEVO: 1. "He plays the guitar very well, he sings well, he's got a good voice, a little raspy, but...he can play the guitar very well and still be a bad president"
