Saturn Return, Ang Huling El Bimbo

After paying our overdue balance and while waiting for our Smart Bro connection to be reconnected once again after almost two months (and finally realizing that the 24 hour waiting and monitoring period that the customer care representatives, all 5 of them, has told me is actually a 3 day period, based on experience, they’re in a different time zone, believe me), I accidentally found this one on Smart Bro Portal. The link is here,for tickets and other info.

On March 7, 2009, we (I hope I can come) will witness the Ultimate Gig of the Carol Kings not on fruitcake heights though, at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds instead. Fruitcakes will be served. Styrosnow and mono virus will fill the air. Franie Wei, Shadow, Bobo the Wiseman,the Fabulous Bakerboy, the Gatekeeper, the Lord of the Rhum, Toyang, Jay, Shirley, Aling Nena, Buloy will rise from his Poorman’s Grave, even Peter North , Morlock and Narda will be there.

These guys certainly hate happy endings. If there is a proof that love can make the world go round, then here it is. Hard to believe or not, I think it is love and a little bit of smile that brings them all together (after 10+ years?) so that we could all have (one last) fine time once again. No comic books. No ugly looks. No flaming trees. And yes man because you need some more, here they are again, on their Final Set. And hopefully no early exit this time.

For one last time (I hope not), as the concert title suggests, we will go back to those fairy good tales, forget the real world awhile, become a part of history and witness once again Ely, Markus, Buddy and Raymond, the legend we call ERASERHEADS, play those songs that rocked our world back in our high school days, for one last occasion…

After this one, we don’t really know if we can get it along with a little prayer and a song, because honestly, we are hoping that we could spend more time together, a few hours maybe, is better than never... and only if we could make it longer, a whole day would be fine... a whole week would be fine... a whole month would be fine... a whole year would be fine... a decade would be fine... a century would be fine… and yes, forever would be fine..

Para sa mga masang gustong pumunta sa alapaap, minsan na lang to pare ko.. huwag kang matakot..isantabi mo muna ang mga maling akala..torpedo ka man, kaliwete o kananete, sama sama tayong magharana, iwan mo muna ang tindahan ni aling nena, itago mo muna ang magasin sa ilalim ng kama supra, at kasabay ng pagsayaw ng huling el bimbo, tunghayan natin ang unti-unting pagkawala ng maselang bahaghari…

Wawawawakarimasem.
