Elections

I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
'Cause we're all in the same big boat

-Sting

Let's vote wisely. Don't vote for the lesser evil. Vote for the gooodd ones. But then again, do we still have them?:(

Jerks on Acoustic

I watched The Jerks last Friday with my sister and a couple of friends. 70's Bistro changed its format to Acoustic. So no electric guitars, no hard rock and roll. They had to comply with the so-called rules of Quezon City regarding keeping the decibel level at the minimum since they are in a residential area. BUT they cannot stop the Jerks from rockin' the place!  Yes, the approach was laid back, relaxed. But the music is still THAT. I can't really explain it. Mapa acoustic man ang Jerks o hindi, the soul of their music is still there. I'm not being biased because they're my 'titos' but I've heard a few rock bands that did acoustic and boy,  they sounded really different. Nawala yung indak ba. At the end of each song, you'd really say that the original version is much, much better. Although of course I miss the old Jerks in Bistro but I was surprised that nothing changed much. Siguro kasi you can see that they're still enjoying while playing despite the big adjustment they had to make. I always believed that for your audience to appreciate and enjoy your music, you must first enjoy and be happy with what you're doing. People can tell if you're not, you know. So probably that's one of the many things that Ive learned from The Jerks (and from my dad, of course). Kahit pa ba nauulit yung mga kinakanta, hinahanap hanap ng mga tao pa din. Wala eh. Masaya lang. I'm sure of course, they get tired too pero yun nga eh, kahit nakakapagod naeenjoy pa din nila or at least that's what's apparent when they're on the stage.

 Yun lang.
