Summer of 69
Brian Adams is to India what David sexy Hasselhoff is to the German pop charts. Indians love Mr. Adams. The man is a god and one particular hit seems to be going over very well with the people here. If the title to this posting hasn't been enough of a clue then I'll spell it out here for all the retards: "Summer of 69".
On the way over from Mumbai to Goa a dozen or so univerisity students were sharing the 3rd class non-AC train car with me for 11 hours and one of them had obviously taken great pains to learn the chords to the Brian Adams song. In fact, i think it's the only song he knew how to play that everyone could sing along to. I heard it at least a dozen times and by the 10th time I really wished they would play some nice Hindi version of elevator music over the speakers just like they did in the 2nd class AC compartment on my way to Jaipur. The man sells out concerts here and people love him more than I'll ever understand.

goddammit! why o why did you mention 'summer of 69'? it's like the most evil insidious getting in your head song ever.
i've noticed that Robbie Williams is huuuuuge here in Europe. he's the successor to the hasselhoff throne.
Brian Adams is totally grody, but the Summer of '60 is a catchy tune. I say pick up a harmonica and learn Quando Quando Quando.
