			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Popped out to La Morena on Friday night to listen to a &#8217;soul and funk&#8217; concert.  In reality it was a guy with an admitedly very nice voice singing along to his mp3 backing tracks.  Uh, I think that&#8217;s called karaoke.  It&#8217;s so weird here how so many performers only do cover songs and even then just play along with a backing track.  Weird and cheesy and canned.  Who goes out to listen to canned music when you can jsut turn on the radio/iTunes/CD in your home?  Folks!  Give me some originals please!  That&#8217;s what creativity is about.  Oh, yes, forgot&#8230;it&#8217;s all about recycling now.  Kylie on the front cover of the MusicStore catalogue doinng her best Marilyn Monroe impression, Lyndsey Lohan chanelling same in photos last month&#8230;isn&#8217;t creativity about pushnig boundaries?  Or is re-interpretation and imitation a sincere form of art?  I guess it is, if you have more drive than innate talent.</p>
<p>Of course, the bar war terribly smoky, like all bars in Spain.  The gross thing about smoke is that it&#8217;s not even the good part of the cigarette.  Everyone is waltzing around in the residue of the tobacco smoke&#8230;kind of like the difference between a poo and the meal that made it.  Thanks for the exhale, buddy, now I can swim around in your s**t.  And I say this as a former smoker, certainly not always considerate in my time</p>
