Episode summary: José E. Cruz, O'Leary Professor of political science at UAlbany's Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, has spent a lifetime studying and practicing the politics and music of his native Puerto Rico. When Bad Bunny launched from a global musical star to political lightning rod at the Super Bowl this year, José saw in that controversy some of the same forces that shaped his youth as a revolutionary and garage band drummer.
