FIRE WERKS

MANIAGO - It’s Possible

Greetings music fans.

It’s that time again. Time to get beat up for no reason. Time to get pickpocketed. Time to get a questionable parking ticket. Time to wait in line for the Skytrain. Time to have your $18 bottle of pinot confiscated when getting off the train by some pimply faced cop who was born the same year you turned 40. And time to listen to the same old classsical music standards simulcast city-wide whilst a million dollars-plus in fireworks fills the night sky, giving the homeless a little more light to help them see as they sift through back alley dumpsters in search of dinner.

It’s time again for the fireworks.

But if you are like your Uncle Jon, your fireworks viewing is a little more styling than all that. You get yourself a hot band from your label, a few friends, an open bar and some Brazilian models, and bring ‘em all to your big-ass boat. Then you sail around the harbour and watch the fireworks – free of punks, thieves, metermaids, public transit, and flatfoots. And you have your own live soundtrack to listen to. Not the same half dozen classical classics (over-)played year after year after year.

I got a little room left. Let me know. (Note: this invitation not open to hooligans, pickpockets, metermaids, or the man.)

Shine on you crazy diamonds.
