Watch the footage and the body language, the band are clearly shitting bricks during the encounter and I'd hardly call it fawning (if you want to see fawning, watch the doc where James just sits and watches a Cuban guitar player for 10 minutes). When the band were invited to a personal audience with Castro at the presidential palace, Nick had a panic attack and the band went home early. That tells you more about what they genuinely feel about Castro than a forced press opportunity.

Sure - and you've just described neatly why some people don't think it was a terribly good idea to associate themselves with him and his regime.
If they really didn't like it, and didn't want tye association - why put it on the DVD and name the whole thing after his comment?
