cabo reminiscence

oh man. of the many horrible things about the vacation experience, a major one was the fact that every fucking night, down at the “YOU ARE REALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME NOW” bar, they had a projection screen + PA which played nothing but songs from a Live Aid concert DVD set.

so the order would be somewhat random, but you were guaranteed to hear: * roy orbison / travelling willburys, * rolling stones, * tina turner, and of course * journey “dont stop believing’”

the fucked up thing was, whoever picked this had nailed it to the fourth std-dev in terms of their demographic.

people were rapt night after night

they would actually applaud after particularly stirring performances such as rod stewart “forever young” as if they were actually at a Live Aid concert.
