Gonna see my idol

I love it when things come together. My musical hero is in South Africa and I have managed to get tickets. Was a long shot, but it worked. And now it all I can think about. Everyday will be a marathon of Sixto Rodriguez albums, namely "Cold Fact" and "Coming From Reality" in preparation for our performance in unison. Must sound the same ... lol. It's great to get so excited about a musician again. And in this case it really isn't just any musician, this is Rodriguez. A lyricist few could match who breathed the stench of the inner city and poisoned the paper with lead whilst sining it to music written as if from a time that was always that was never. Beuatiful....

Back to the 80ies

We had such a good weekend. Damien's mom invited us to go to an 80ies party last Friday. It was from 30 years up, so I thought it would be best to bring my ID with. But then at the entrance, the bouncer didn't even ask for my ID! Do I really look 30??? ;-)
Before letting us in, he handed us a little bottle of shampoo, so I asked him what kind of party was going on in there..... he laughed and pointed at the promotion they were doing. To my question if this shampoo would be good for my straight hair, he started to search in the basket until he found the matching conditioner :-) what a nice bouncer! The music in the beginning was so so, but then it got better, or was it the tequila? :-) Even though me and Damien were born in the 80ies, there were many songs we had never heard. It was great to watch Damien's mom and his uncle looking at each other with excitement to hear these songs again. I wish I would have taken pics or even better video of the crowd. Some people rockt up with perm-hairstyles and funky moustaches, tight tiger body suits and flash gordon t-shirts tucked in their jeans, wich were pulled up above the waist. The best about all of this was, that it didn't seem, that they dressed up... they just kept the style from the 80ies and carried it trough :-)
