Maybe Bono is rubbing off on local Maldivian musicians (figuratively). I have it from a reliable source that the Generation X of Maldivian music is planning a benefit concert for a girl named Alysha who is in the terminal stages of Thalassemia. The venue of the show which is to be held on the 7th of December is the post-apocalyptic Mad Max-ian wasteland which once was, but is still referred to as a Carnival by us. Proceeds from the show are to fund the little lady's bone marrow transplant procedure.
The night of the 7th of December is also the date that coordinators of a beach party at Bandos jr. have chosen for a night of revelry and debauchery featuring a DJ or DJs from the UK. So which will it be for partygoers and night-owls? Entertainment as social service or just for the sake of it? Bono-ism (dibs on the patent for that word) or Caligula-ism (likewise)? Dance mixes and club music or death metal covers? Socialism or consumerism? Totally a matter of choice. As for me I can't be at either so my conscience is clear no matter how many puppies I kill or old widows I rob over here.
