Rock You Like A Hurricane

We have already covered the topics on who could, and indeed should not, be invited to be the MC for OBW2006. The polls are running and no doubt the good people on the OBW2006 Committee or Dinner Sub-Committee will have started cracking their heads to pick their choice.

An important element for a successful OBW Dinner is the entertainment. Having been to only two OBW Dinners since leaving STAR, I am not in a position to give a meaningful historical analysis on these events. But the dinner shows on both times that I was there were, sadly, quite dreary. There were some live music, singers singing and dancers dancing … and the shows were over. The Dinners were enjoyable only because you could smoke with old friends on the School Ground and not have to worry your old teachers about it.

Perhaps what should be considered for OWB2006 Dinner are some top-notch acts who can entertain really well. We need those who can get the crowd going totally wild. We need those who can bring all of us back to the rock ‘n’ roll era, to the eardrum-piercing hard rock and to the oh-so-sentimental slow rock. We need those who were absolute icons to STARians from the early 70’s to the early 90’s and even now still command considerable respect from most STARians young and old. We need none other than the Scorpions.



However, we may not have the sort of budget to be able to afford the Scorpions. But may be we can pre-book Akademi Fantasia 4 Finalists to sing some Scorpions classics. Or Malaysian Idol ’06 Finalists.
