The Richest Kids

SILVER.

I expected it. I’m not upset.

7 choirs got GWH-

VJC, MJC, AJC, ACJC, CJC, NJC, HCI

JJC got CoP.

Went for dinner with YK and some of her MJ friends, had BK. Pretty alright I guess. Looking at the no. of people I know in MJ Choir makes me wonder what it would have been like if I went to MJ. Though it was something like my 6th choice or smthg.

Oh I saw Nathan Hartono today! He’s the ACJC Choir president, and Alex’s friend, though I never asked her about him. Just FYI, Nathan Hartono is quite a famous jazz singer in Singapore. And he looks the same/even better in person.And I enjoyed listening to his album that I borrowed from Rachel my VJ classmate. She would be hitting me if she knew I saw him today. Haha.

From Bob Lefsetz:

“One can go back to the early heyday of the Fillmores and say people went for the scene, but even though one wanted to be there, at the happening, the focus in the late sixties, especially the seventies, was on the music.  That's what I remember about going to a show.  I wanted to hear the SONGS!  I did not go to meet girls, I didn't need a friend to accompany me to attend.  The concept of sitting in the dark listening to those songs I played in my living room positively thrilled me.  That's what I believe the concert experience is.  But speaking with Strasburg, I wonder if the younger generation feels the same way.

Don says the youngsters are all about the good time.  Sure, the music is part of the attraction, but it's about the hang.  Let me go to the show and connect, with the known and unknown.
You can expand this concept.  Top Forty music is not about the music, it's not about sitting on the floor with the album cover and digesting the tracks.  Rather it's about spinning the cuts at the club, they're the grease that helps you get laid.  So are young 'uns even looking for the same experience baby boomers cherished? …

Think about the absence of chairs in venues.  You never stood at the show in the sixties, nor during most of the seventies either.  The Whisky had a pit right in front of the stage, but the rest of the club was filled with seats.  You sat down, maybe had a drink, and paid attention.  It was about the music, not rubbing shoulders with wannabe partners.

People might stand for the encore at the arena, at other hard seat venues, but mostly there was a respect for the sound.  A show wasn't an extravaganza, unless that's what the act was truly purveying.  Alice Cooper was all about theatre, but the other acts didn't compete on this level.  If you went to see Clapton, the music was enough, no one expected anything more.  Now, big acts are afraid to tour without all the production, they believe the audience EXPECTS IT!

Two weeks ago, I saw the band O.A.R.  My friend Steve laughed when the singer said the next track was from their "new album".  Does anybody give a shit about the album anymore?  Does anybody give a shit about any of the tunes the band is playing, or is it more about being there, the vibe?”

Interesting. Kind of true, I think.

Bon Jovi has a movie, its called “Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful”. There’s nothing on Youtube on it though. But it sounds kinda lame.

Aaaaaand…. NO DOUBT IS BACK! They played their first show together on 1 May on the Today show, check it out!

 

Latest GG episode (I can’t remember exactly what was said by the characters, go Youtube it if you wanna see the heartwrenching scene)-

Blair: I need an answer to the question I asked you a long time ago. Or is it just a game?

Chuck: Its just a game.

Serena:Why did you  just do that Chuck?

Chuck: Because I love her, and I know I can’t make her happy.

Although we haven't got much money, we must admit it's pretty funny
How they think we are the richest kids in town
