A Cinderella Story, sort of
This is not a typical post for this blog but there is a connection. Not the freshest of news probably, but I do not read the entertainment pages of magazines that often. But yesterday when I opened the Time Magazine I spotted a familiar face on the contents page. A face of a guy who used to rock live music bars in Hong Kong not that long ago. Me, my friends and lots of my overseas customers use to go Edge and later to Cavern for some entertainment. I remember a friend of mine saying one day, when the band played some U2 song, that if he did not know he is listening to a cover band, he would have thought it is real Bono singing. Well, that was a part of the semi drunk highly intellectual beer debate, but anyway . And then I see the face this cover band singer in Time Magazine. His name is Arnel Pineda, and it looks like he made it big. No wonder he hasn’t showed up in Cavern for a while.
Here is a YoutTube video from CBS show, that pretty much tells his story (although a bit too dramatically for my taste):
