I came across a video of a statue of John Lennon located on a park bench in Havana, Cuba. After initially banning his music from the country, Fidel Castro made a speech in 2004 honoring the former Beatle and solo artist. Its interesting to see how time can change a person's outlook on something. In the midst of the Cold War and International Counterculture Movement, Castro banned the music in fear of revolution. With those events behind him, Castro was able to recognize the talent that Lennon had and honored him. Go to 0:27 mark to see the statue right away!
