Where were you the day ...

Where were you that day? No... not the day you heard the nose of Michael Jackson died (You do know it was his nose performing the last couple of years, his body had already left us quiet some time ago, while scientists wonder if there ever was a brain present?). Of course I mean the day you heard one of all time greatest pop stars, with an incredible voice the best lip-sync'er ever, left us to meet the great Daddy Cool... yes the day that Bobby Farrel died. I was at the location the news was being made... I watched the interview with pop icon Ad Visser giving his zen vision about the early departure of Bobby. A real TopPop moment, Yeah!

Ad proved to be the ultimate professional. In between the TopPop museum decor pieces amidst the visitors (average age around 12, not counting he brain of Michael Jackson) of the Media Museum (we set a new record today... I am finally in the books for posterity), amidst middle aged men trying to capture this moment on the phone-u-can't-use-to-phone, under the lighting provided by a 10 year old who needed to keep fiddling with some decor-piece keyboard to stop the lights from dimming, Ad obviously fighting his tears (he must be wearing these ridiculous glasses for some reason), he kept his cool and gave the interview of his live... to bad almost everything was cut.

Ad in hairier days... even I had hair like that once...

Of course we were here also to watch radio being made, the annual Top 2000 of all time being aired.

At one moment my girl (all though not at that particular moment in time) even initiated a wave in support for poor Raggel on a dramatic Hazes song ...


... we had the alcohol as excuse (there is no denying my fingerprint on the glass)...

And if Ad, the beer at the Top2000 cafe or the radio DJ wasn't enough entertainment for each present brand new record holder, the Media Museum is hosted in an architectural masterpiece, more then enough to keep you busy.
