My man Zypsy has broken my heart. Broken my heart, he has. For it is now confirmed -- Aerosmith is not performing in BOM. The music loving public of the city of Mumbai will never forget this act of betrayal Mr. Steve "Madman" Tyler.

And who the hell's gonna listen to him in Bungalooroo anyway - Narayan Murthy??

But we shall have our revenge. For news has it that WE - are getting the Red Hot Chilly Peppers ... Muahahaha :)

Thanks very much for all the blogversary wishes. You guys are awesome! Big party at Saltwater Grill when the Blues turns five okay.

Very surprised to learn recently that this humble blog has caught the eye of one of one of India's biggest advertising agencies. Yeah, they are offering me the big bucks (finally some money!) to promote a product of a major FMCG company. There's just one problem - they want me to rename this to Clinic All Clear Blues Over Troubled Waters.

You think I should go for it? The money involved is substantial.

I was browsing through RBC yesterday when I stumbled upon this one. God, it brought back so many great memories! One of the first songs we played in the band way back when we were in school. I used to be so jealous of my brother on that big Gibson EB2 bass guitar ... he was so small but he kicked ass on the bass, he really did. And we totally loved this song.

Huge huge hit from 1989, this is Chris Rea - The Road to Hell. For my brother. You rock kid ... always did!

Not worth it ! (I guess i can say that, because i havent received any offer ) :)

But seriously, i guess you should think it through ! If the money is worth colouring the identity, a little bit...well, maybe !

Anywhich way, regulars here arent going to bother !!

well, i believe Bangalore(not yet Bengalooru)also has a huge fan following for aerosmith, as it is for many good musicians. getting concert tickets for any rock concert is quite an effort. just like u think abt B'lore music lovers, i believe mumbai has more affinity to 'filmi' music. no offence meant. :)... hey btw, i really admire ur writing. real good stuff. great going!

All clear blues :) still is bearable..like everyones saying..

A banglorean grins.

No probs if Narayana Murthy watches also. The fact is Aerosmith is coming to Bangalore. hahahaa

Sankalp said...

well, first of all, happy blogversary.

and yes, you should absolutely go for 'Clinic All Clear Blues Over Troubled Waters'. after all, it isn't as bad as 'Bandar Chhaap Kaala Dant Manjan Blues Over Troubled Waters'. :)

Deepika said...

Considering that the original "Clinic All Clear" is BLUE in colour, it's not such a bad idea...but yeah I prefer JUST blues...
N maaan..that comment on HARPIC blues over troubled waters made me roll on the floor!!! :):):)

Did they happen to see your "all clear" pics by any chance?? :)

probe said...

Hey, i think the FMCG has got the TG wrong! It has to be a skewed market research to suggest that bloggers are scruffy dandruffy singles ;)
naah, not happening .. this blog commands better brand value!
Newayz.. from the one who starts out, to the one who turns 4..
Cheers and four beers!
