Entry for January 14, 2007
From what I heard and read about 70s Bistro, it is the center of rock n roll in Quezon City. I used to go to BBM in Manila, the center of folk rock in that area. Someday, I would like to get to 70s Bistro to get a taste of live rock n roll. Not that I haven't had a taste before. I had seen some. Once in a while, me and my friends also jam to some rock n roll pieces. We are not so seroius about it, but when we play, we can show that we can also rock decently. I hope the rock n rollers do not destroy the music that we love to listen to. They may have been rocking for a long time, but I hope they only get better. Some say that rock n roll had died more than thirty years ago, I say that it has been made to live by others who refused to believe that the "music" had died. There may have been no rock revolutionaries in the last thirty years, but it is enough that the music has been kept alive through lp/s, cds, live performances and the never ending resurgence of bands and single artist/s who rock for music sake. I believe that rock n roll is not a nostaligic trip, but a re-discovery of treasure of music and keeping it alive. We have to keep on going, at the same time we pay respect to our music heroes. Thanks and more power to 70s Bistro.

mga kabistro share ko lang poem ko about 70's bistro....


Kuwentong 70’s bistro
Likha at titik ni Noel Malicdem,Arkitekto
Dubai, UAE

Kay sarap muling pakinggan
Mga musikang kinagisnan
Sa bandang Anonas matatagpuan
Sa 70’s bistro lamang matutunghayan

Nagsimula noong dekada ’90
Magbigay sigla sa larangan ng musika
Masaksihang magtanghal mga makabagong banda
At mapagbuklod muli mga musikero ng dekada ‘70

Ano mang klase at tugtog ang musika
Bago man o luma basta may kiliti sa masa
Musikang Pilipino sa mga titik at pagkalikha
At sariwaing muli mga musika ng nagdaang dekada

Isang lugar na may kalayaan
Karaniwang tao dito ang tambayan
Madama ang tunay na kapayapaan
Musikang gamot sa magulong lipunan

Bahagi ang bistro sa ating kasaysayan
Saksi sa pagbabago at kaganapan sa ating bayan
Musika ang paraan maiparating ang katotohanan
Maiwasan ang maling pakikibaka sa maling paraan

Dito rin halos ang madalas na tagpuan
Mga taong may hinanakit at hinaing sa bayan
Nagkakaisa sa mapayapang usapan
Musika ang tinig para ipadama ang karaingan.

Naging bahagi upang imulat ang kabataan
Tangkilikin ang musikang pinoy ang pinagmulan
At naganap ang konsiyerto ng bayan
Bistro sa Amoranto hanggang pamorningan


Nagbigay bahagi ng hustisya sa musikerong pinaslang
Sa Quezon Circle nagtipon ang karaniwang mamamayan
Para sa sa isang konsiyerto makamit ang katarungan
Nilahukan ng mga musikero ng buong gabing kantahan

Sa kabila ng maraming pagbabago
Sa musika, politika, at buong mundo
Sa himig ng musika nanatili ang bistro
Musikang hanap ng mga karaniwang tao

Mahigit isang dekada na ang nakaraan
Nanatili ang bistro sa mga pagsubok na dumaan
Di nakalimot sa simpleng pinanggalingan
Kasama ang mga musikerong bahagi ng kasaysayan

Isa lang ako sa mga kabahagi at nakasaksi
Kahit sa tula man lang aking maibahagi
Alaala ng 70’s bistro na sadyang nakakawili.
Malayo man sa bansa sa aking puso’y mananatili

While I admire some people's romanticism about "Pinoy Rock", I always think that music is something that is universal. Although there used to be American Folk Blues, British Pop, and the like, times have passed and the music which used to be identified to some has ceased to be so in the present time. This is because the music has evolved and has been popularized by different artists. The purpose of identifying music in relation to a race or color of skin can simply be considered for historical purposes, if not for marketing. Popular music is the same as the other rock and roll music which has been popularized. In the same way, Pinoy Rock can be considered as popular music in the context of its popularity. Probably, the reason why Pinoy Rock has remained to be an alternative music among others is because they think the music is different. It is not. It is simply a music which is treated with a different style making it a fine piece of music. That is its reason for its impact and endurance. For instance, "Himig Natin" as popularized by Juan dela Cruz was recorded with three chords. It gets complicated after the verses with the combination of acoustic and lead guitars and sweeping of drums. It is a fine piece, and it is popular music (and probably, one of the best singles ever written in the history of Pinoy Pop). And, the recording sounds good. Although rock n roll in this country is not played in wide audience, the same remains popular among music enthusiasts and fans. It is in the mainstream, the way other pop artists are into. Contrary to a historical analysis that Pinoy Rock is an alternative music, it is as popular as the rest. It is just that some artists have not yet attained the level which others have, or probably may no longer reach a high level of popularity due to some circumstances. The fact that rock n roll sells in this country contradicts the viewpoint that it is alternative. And to be tagged as a sell-out is simply a jealousy among people who want to chain artists to what they like. More than forty years ago, Bob Dylan was accused of such because some purists wanted him to stay as a folk artist. But rock n roll got into him. Forty years later, his "Like A Rolling Stone" has been voted as the greatest single of all time by the Rolling Stone Magazine. The same way that the Beatles were considered, almost all of the music critics are one in saying that "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is the greatest album of all time. In the local scene, some bands have also been tagged as such...and sadly, other remains to those who pulled them to stay and fortunately for the others, they explored and may have continually explored rock n roll stardom. And to explore does not mean an eternal exploration, it is enough that when the time came to rock one delivers. In the end, one may realize that rock n roll opens up rather than closes its doors to opportunities, whatever they may be. One rock n roll masterpiece is what one needs to be leveled with the others...great and popular, but, not alternative.
Thanks and more power!
