Meet Your Garden And Four Became Two Fanaticism. P10,000* for one night, to see two (of the F4) Asians perform live? Notwithstanding that more than half of their songs are in Chinese/Mandarin. But then again you'd probably be surprised to hear shrieks to every word without understanding it. Fanaticism, really, i tell you. Cult Following. How many long-haired lads are roaming the streets of Manila nowadays? What is the most famous downloaded cell ringtone these days? Do you know where everyone is at 5:30pm on weekdays? Fad or short for "For A Day" is clearly what it is. Was it the same in '64 when the Fab Four was here (and gone in a huff)? or in the 80s when Menudo (when Ricky Martin was still cute) and shook Manila like an earthquake but lost their popularity like a dud cannonball when one by one, upon reaching 15, they all got replaced? Colonial Mentality. Escapism. Yellow fever. Call it anything, but their concert at the Ultra's Football Field this weekend is THE talk of the town. Sold Out. That's what it is. * - Ticket prices are not even P 10,000, it's P 10,300!!! (due to dollar conversion yata.) The Event to end all events. Ugh! |
