Oh my God, I honestly think that's my car from the early 80's. No kidding!

I had the opportunity to drive most of the cars in the pictures.

77-78 Corona

I wonder where you got all those pics?

 

My first car was a 78 Corona. Fire engine red. Rota mags. Wood steering wheel and shift knob. No tint. White seat covers. Pioneer stereo and 2-way speakers. Napakaswerte sa akin nung kotseng iyun! Madaming adventures at malayo ang narating. Hehehe....

I was driving then a 1302S beetle to school. In 1978, I wanted a Lancer but my parents bought a Lambda instead. So I got stucked with the beetle till I got married in 1988. Sometimes tinatakas ko yung Lambda pero alaskado ako. Pang DOM daw :evil:

 

Nanghihiram na lang ako ng car noon sa mga uncles ko for gimmicks kaya kung anu-anong cars nagamit ko (from Ford Cortina to Toyota Corolla). :goatee:

well I would consider huge acts as those that are huge at the moment, or enjoying enormous popularity now. So they take advantage of this and try to command extravagant appearance fees.

I am wondering why in the past they were able to bring in the Beatles at the height of their popularity, or relatively recently, Sting (whom I saw in 1989 - he was at the peak then) or Phil Collins before, and before them, Eric Clapton or Metallica. Medyo kasikatan nila nun when they were here. Nowadays all we see are the oldies - which is not bad per se, but how we long for the Stones or U2 or such pop acts as Britney or Madonna.

 

I would disagree with music not stretching across generations. The current fave of my kids is would you believe, the Beatles   I can't explain it. It started when they got to see the Yellow Submarine DVD which I bought for my viewing and from then on there was no stopping them. I had to scrounge around for the Beatles anthology or any Beatles CD I could find so as not for them to lose the momentum of the moment. There must be something magical about Beatles music that my kids would love - music that is almost 40 years old! This is just an example of course but I think music, if it is good, has a way of reaching out to anybody - be they oldies like us, or youngsters....

 

To digress, ang mahal pala ng mga vintage Beatles LP's. I saw their Help album, made in Japan, and it goes for a thousand bucks Even the local LPs go for P500....

Greetings....anybody out there planning to see the Santana Roots concert at the Araneta on the 28th? Ole' Devadip may not be there, but if it's the same old gang that backed him up in the 70s, then its going to be a real treat to see those guys, especially the percussions section.
