We Were Talking About Frost, Geddemmit!!
(I usually write about books, reading, writing, PGS, genre, etc., but seeing as a recent post has turned to music, this post is a brief intermission. Besides, with all the seriousness that has gone on before, this would be a good, fun, break.)
Based on the comments from this post, Poetry As Punishment (check out the PGS-Multiply in particular), we suddenly veered away from Robert Frost and started to discuss Air Supply. Much to my chagrin.
I hold Palanca winner Tapayan Ni Hans mostly to blame, but it did start when PGS contributor Laughter At The Fringes Of Sanity started to sing Air Supply songs in the comments section (wala na nga sa tono, mali pa ang pronounciation). Everyone soon joined in, and then people starting admitting to liking and having the following in their music players:
1. Abba
2. The Bee Gees
3. Barry Manilow
4. The Carpenters
5. Donna Summer and 70's disco
6. The Village People
7. Kenny Rogers
8. Lionel Richie
9. Michael Jackson
10. Spandau Ballet
11. Bananarama
12. Celine Dion
13. Michael Bolton
14. Kenny G.
15. Lionel Richie
16. Whitney Houston
Sige na. Ilabas niyo na lahat. All in one go. What else do you have in your music players?
Tapayan Ni Hans is challenging us to list our "top 25 most played" in our iPod. He thinks that in that top 25 those artists above, or similar ones, might show up.
And to quote Dogberry in one of his recent posts, "Elitists will be shot."
Aminin niyo na! Pati kayong mga matatanda may High School Musical sa mga iPods ninyo!
Given how much flak I got for dissing Air Supply in the previous post, consider this the post where you can all gush about your favorite music artists from the list above.
(Wouldn't it be ironic if somehow, our discussion veered back to Frost?)
Okay. I'll start.
When my wife found out I had Hajji Alejandro, the original "crush ng mga kolehiyala" in my iPod, she said, "Eeeeeeee!"
"O! Bakit?"
"Hajjeeee....."
"Okay naman yung mga ibang kanta niya ah!"
"Oo nga!"
So there.

Air Supply is playing in Davao on June 15.
@dominique: Hehehe. You going? :D
You already know I like Air Supply. ^^v
I will probably scare you if I say that a few years ago, my iPod had songs in four languages (English, Tagalog, Japanese, and a few Korean). ^^;;

@pgenrestories: No!
@ek: Oo nga. I'm finding out that there are more Air Supply fans in the RP than I first thought. :P
@dominique: No? You sure you're not just saying that? :P
Air Supply music is generally sentimental music, and Pinoys generally are mushy people. That's why we still have all these love songs, and even the rock music is sentimental.
