” Dude that chick’s a MILF! ”
(american pie)

The other night I continued my concert going ways here in South Africa. If you recall a couple weeks ago I was at Elton John, seeing a legend known for his wonderful ability to move you with the piano and his beautiful lyrics. This concert experience I saw another legend, known for his ability to sing in some 16 different languages and the most successful latino singer there ever was…but most importantly he’s shagged over 3,000 different women. I saw Julio Iglesias.

Now if you ever wanted to be at a concert where the average age of the audience is 40+ and they’ve all been through menopause, then a Julio concert is where you want to be at. I’ve never seen so many older women twist their panties and get excited about .. Julio! I mean you should’ve seen them…these ladies haven’t moved like that since the backseat of their high school prom. It was the weirdest thing and almost a bit frightening.

To say the least, I felt really out of place and it was a little bit awkward. Think of this contrast. Julio is in his mid 60’s. He’s relying on a little blue pill to add to that 3,000. Yet to these 40+ year old ladies, he’s still a sex icon and in between every song Julio talks about how, “after you hear this song, you get pregnant tonight in vertical position!” and the ladies scream and love it. Meanwhile, this guy can’t even get it up anymore and these chicks can’t even get pregnant. Wha!?!

I wonder if it’s the complete opposite demographic at an Enrique Iglesias concert…a concert I would much rather be at. I bet he’s got hot chicks there that are just hitting their early twenties, looking to have a good time and don’t have to carry around a little blue pill for their man. I’m not saying I want to inquire any time soon. I think one Iglesias family concert is enough for me, right now.

Now the quote above doesn’t really spell out exactly how I felt about the concert or exactly what I saw. In a way it does, but I think for a Julio concert, although there’d probably be milfs there, they’re also probably one step higher on the totem pole. With a capital G.

Hey Now!

“And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone”
(rocket man, elton john)

I’m not the biggest fan of Elton John. Well, I like a few songs, and some of the songs that I like of his I didn’t even know were his. Last night I was at his concert and some of those melodies that were so familiar, so beautiful, I had no idea they were Sir Elton’s.

He’s so good when he performs, that he makes you remember where you were and evokes the emotion you had the first or last time you heard that song. Seeing Elton seemed a bit unreal. I’m still not entirely sure how to feel about the concert, all I know is that this was one of those experiences that stand out above the rest; concertly speaking. Like seeing The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Michael Jackson…the Strokes, legends of our time.

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside, when you see these performer’s live. Especially when you don’t like concert’s, like myself. But I guess it all depends on the band, the songs, the audience, it all matters. Last night was good. The audience sat and enjoyed the music, Elton just continued to play all the hits and the lady three rows in front of me was holding a lit candle during “Candle in the Wind”, oh and I was seeing Elton John.

ps: the strokes didn’t make an appearance.
