Yep, hung himself in a hotel room when he wasn’t able to see his daughter. I don’t really remember what they played at Buffalo Town…it’s all kind of a blur.
I often hear young people saying "It must have been amazing to have grown up in the 70s and 80s " , so this might be a good reminder of how bad things were too.
Yeah a lot. There was a girl that got jumped in the ladies room, got her face cut open with hair pins by other jealous girls. The pin ball machines were great. I only had one fight in there
Here’s one I doubt many forumosans will know: a Paiwan guitarist named Baobu (保卜) who does some astonishing instrumental work.
The album version of this song gets me going out the door in the right mood just about every morning. On youtube, I found this live version for your consideration. This guy is incredible!
If you can, try to find Baobu’s two CDs—I Love Taiban, naming his hometown in Taidong, is great; Kerim, where the song I linked appears, is not quite as good, but still worth a listen.
He’s really a brilliant musician, utterly distinct, with such an expansive imagination and good energy too.
EDIT: The video you added is a rendition of “Signal Fire” from I Love Taiban. Recommended!
