Cantabile 如歌的行板

　　So that's that for South-East Asia. Glad it's over, to be honest. As much as I love the food, the people, etc.. there's only so many times one can eat noodles.
　　
　　That last gig in Hong Kong was rubbish. A good night, but a shit gig.
　　
　　Managed at last to finally see a bit of Hong Kong itself yesterday. It's got the same kind of atmosphere as NYC. Busy. Cosmopolitan. Multi-culti. Whatever. I liked it a lot. Horrendous traffic though.
　　
　　Just landed in Johannesburg after a 14 hour flight. I saw a copy of The News Of The World on the stands in Hong Kong airport. Has someone died since we've been away? The headline said "Goodbye Princess" against a picture from a funeral cortege. Please don't tell me Tina from Coronation St. is dead?! I couldn't cope.
　　
　　Managed to sleep most of the way!! Unbelievable. Woke to see the sunrise over Africa. Just amazing.
　　
　　This is my first time on the dark continent. Actually, I tell a lie.. it's my third!! Went to Egypt once to see the great pyramids. Fuckin' colossal. And to Marrakech. Where I ended up at a party in a castle, blind drunk with Richard Branson's dad!! That's actually true. He was that pissed he asked me how many wives I had!
　　
　　"One", I replied. "And she's not gonna be around much longer".
　　
　　Think he thought I was one of the natives. Top geezer though.
　　
　　Currently on the way into downtown Johannesburg. In a car with 3 security guards! THREE!! And two of those are armed to the teeth. Shit, man!! Must be a heavy place, eh?
　　
　　In a bit.
　　
　　GD.

他還用了rubbish這個詞....囧
不知道到底是發生啥事了.
我猜應該是對樂團表現跟場地不滿意吧..
跟香港人無關.


雖然沒有幸災樂禍的心態,不過這幾天觀察下來,
感覺Noel雖然沒提多少演唱會情況,
但是提到台灣觀眾人數18000人(雖然是灌水數字)
然後一起jump很scary fun,應該真的算是讚美了吧.......畢竟OASIS是很在意演唱會動員數的樂團,
我們台北在一個月不到的時間裡能賣掉九成14000多張票的高票房,
真的是值得驕傲了,我想OASIS也看在眼裡的.


而且我們的場控居然沒有讓Noel忍不住也罵個"Shit gig"之類的...我想他應該是算可接受吧.
(雖然我有感覺這個詞一半可能是在罵他弟..有香港歌迷傳說這兄弟開演前好像大吵了一架....XD)


總而言之,我想主辦單位真的是辛苦了,雖然瑕疵很多,但能擺平這個團的上上下下,我還是覺得他們很了不起....當然,其他的國家也是一樣.


總之OASIS的亞洲之行告一段落了,
希望回到西洋文化世界的他們心情能好過一點.XD
