More From Eduardo Galeano

Perez hilton is brilliant to me. because he’s taken something that people don’t think is valid, don’t think is important, and he’s made them obsessed with it. people are obsessed with him. they’re obsessed with his site, they’re obsessed with what he does. they love him. they all love him. they love you, they hate you, what you don’t want is indifference. the day that i put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, that’s bad.
