Fruitcake
Ah 1990's..this is the time were the music scene here in the Philippines are very healthy! Alternative band's are coming out like a mushroom. On posters, radio, tv commercials, movies.. it's music everywhere! Well I guess because in that era there is no piracy, that time, music is thriving like a virus in a human body.
Among the top leading virus is the music of ERASERHEADS, it penetrates to the mind and bones of every Filipino youth at that time. Also it easily spread throughout the entire archipelago because it is an airborne type of virus. But unlike any ordinary airborne virus that easily dissipates into the the air, this type virus remains up to now, up to this generation.
Their immortality is basically due to their music that reaches so far back and points so far forward that it succeeds in the realization of present.
Lately Eraserheads craze once again heard in the air. Just like an echo..it goes on and on! Coz they had a reunion concert last month, but sadly on climax of that concert Ely got sick and i don't know the reasons why and the concert was stopped..but according to my sources heheh! the concert last month made it very big, that they didn't even expect it gonna be very successful..so they decided to have part 2 of that concert! And if this Eraserheads reunion concert part 2 will gonna happen, I think its a must see concert for us!
But For me?? the music of Eli, Buddy, Marcus, and Raimund will be in the hearts of every Filipino to this generation and to the next, they made OPM great in any possible way that a Filipino artist could do! They made life simple through their music, they teach us what love is, what a friend is, and what will be our perspective in life is. that..

life is like a stage play..
Sometimes we need to pretend, whether we like it or not. Just like a concert or stage play, you can see the play was very good, the artist are performing well, the lights are perfect..fabulous!
but at the backstage every one's having a hard time, you can see them having troubles, last minute change, crew miscommunication and sometimes worst..crew accidents!
But in the end of the show it all seems..perfect!
Just like us..sometimes, pretending we are happy and ok..but we are not, sad but that's the truth..But like a stage play "the show must go on!" and in the end?? all becomes
PERFECT!;)
