If i like a band and then I find out New York Post’s Dan Aquilante, I reasses my emotions because if this blithering, lying typist likes a band , then the chances they suck are excellent and I am hearing something that ain’t gone.
Fortunately, his public wet kiss of a review of Bon Jovi at the new Giant’s Stadium last night leaves no doubt as to BJs lousiness. You need a translator to figure out what is real and what is not in the review. The first paragraph goes right into the annals of stupidity:
“With this week’s an nouncement that the New Meadowlands Stadium would host the 2014 Super Bowl, Jon Bon Jovi knew he had to put on a powerful show not to be upstaged.” Translation? i read about the superbowl.
And the very next sentence? ” At the first performance of the sold-out four-concert series last night”. Translation? It wasn’t sold out. Don’t believe me? Go on line and look.
It goes on with one lie after another becoming coming up with this doozy: “There’s less sonic bounce, so the echo has been mostly eliminated, and it seems the volume doesn’t have to be cranked quite as hard to reach the back wall and the upper decks.” Translation: I don’t have the slightest idea about the acoustics.
On and on, here Jon sounds grup, there they are eternally young, everywhere a satisfied audience and wide grins all around.
Finally, Aquilante has found a band that deserves his gifts.
