"It's got a good beat and you can dance to it"

Today's proof-text for the urgency of the "reform of the reform" is brought to you by Father Peter Daly, who describes his experience at the Washington Papal Mass in the May 2 Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati:
The best rhythm was at the preparation of the gifts when the choir sang in Spanish Ven Espiritu Santo by Jaime Cortez. It has a complicated Afro-Caribbean-Latin drum beat. Even an aging Irishman like me could not sit still. I did my "white boy" dance.

Actually, its "Envia tu Espiritu", not "Ven tu Espiritu" (which makes no sense grammatically). And Fr. Daly's taste in music for the liturgy seems off-kilter to me too.
