Sry abt another depressing post but just feeling a bit discouraged. Still I was thinking of the Beatles & found out that 40 ys ago on June 1 they released Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A long, quirky title to an album that is now considered another of their masterpieces. The thing abt The Beatles, esp John Lennon, was that they had always been able to write seemingly childish, nonsensical songs that were actually vry sophisticated & meant a whole lot. So maybe this is what David is trying to achieve in this concert using a childlike concept to express deeper meanings. At least I hope so >"< This is a rather funny article in Taipei Times online. Warning to SHE & Rainie fans: Do not read if you are extremely sensitive. I actually like them both & see no harm in their kawai packaging, but I can also understand where the writer is coming from. The only cm song in SHE album Play is Just be yourself but it actually sounds less commerical & ktv accessible than most of the other songs. At least in this, David still strives to hold on to his musical integrity & the song even challenged SHE's harmonising skills. Btw tonight should be Japan MTV awards but dun think David will win. It will probably be Mayday, the only chinese nominee attending, or Show Luo whose album featured Japanese singer Koda Kumi.

Yeah Noshka, most fans lurve this poster but guess it will be on sale in Shanghai & possibly Nanjing. Maybe it will be on sale @ davidtao.com like Love Can concert merchandise. In that case SGFC usually can get some items so will keep u updated ^__^ Its really hard to translate the concert name, but he also has another name for the concert which is equally hard to translate *sigh* something like 'world keep turning' concert. David also said this is a 'farewell' concert where he is giving himself a graduation certificate from the music industry *roll eyes* Most media interpret this as he is quitting music to go into movies but he still has 1 more album with EMI. Dun know, all too complex for me dear David. All I hope is that he will not sing the same songs again plse & be brave enough to sing songs from his albums that are not so popular but equally well-loved by his fans. I really hope he put more effort into the songs selection than on elaborate concert concept, stage decoration or his costumes. I like to hear another arrangement like Blue Moon/Somewhere over the rainbow.

lol.. as a foreigner, I dont get why the author get soooo pissed at 'The man'? altho I incline to agree with his musical opinion. I ain' a SHE or Rainee fan anyway so I don't mind :P
zoe~
ps. that Daphne's concert poster.. DT got boobs...Oops :P
Cheer up! You've always been optimistic. Perhaps thinking too deep? We all do that sometimes, esp DT fans.
Sometimes things become a little too elaborate to swallow, huh? Even with a simple name like that. So much underlying meaning, so much this and that. Get tiring. Do miss the Soul Power DT sometimes.
Thanx Zoe & Sukyee, u guys cheer me up hee!
