Rock band

As I made my way towards Virra Mall in Greenhills, a "rock" band was performing and entertaining passers-by near the mall entrance. I'm not referring to a rock band that we are all familiar with: loud synthesizers and electric guitars, ear-splitting drums and cymbals complete with screeching and screaming vocalists head-banging on the stage, ya know, the works.

The band featured an old couple wearing dark sunglasses as alternating vocalists who also double as guitarist and drummer, with a geriatric set doing the back-ups. Their uniforms reminded me of a religious cult. Anyway, I am not sure if they're really blind or it's just a part of their act but it sure was a hell of a spectacle.

But get this, for her age, people couldn't help but stop and stare at the old lady with graying hair banging away at the drums! Maaan, she was like a pro.

And when it was her turn to sing, she sang- gasp!- with all authenticity, perhaps aimed at her husband-partner, "Ang boyfriend kong baduy...baduuuuy!"
