Have you ever been hit in the head with a soft rock?

First time in HCMC: Air Supply performed two nights at Hoa Binh Theater last weekend.

OK. I'm defintely NOT a fan of Air Supply, but again it's nice to see international cultural events taking place in Viet Nam. The best part of this article is the reminiscences of the writer, Le Huynh Le:

"I got my first Air Supply album when I was in 11th grade. My friend’s elder brother was a sailor and he brought home the cassette from Singapore.

"Our group passed the tape around for weeks from person to person, each anxious to hear it soon and none of us anxious to let it out of our hands. We had no photocopy machines, so we had to rewrite the lyrics by hand. The Air Supply tape was possibly the most valuable thing we owned. We never thought that one day we would enjoy a live Air Supply show in our home city."
