Justin came to town the other day - actually, to Buenos Aires, the city of Romance, Tango, and History. He had 2 concerts, one night falling in the wake of the last, tantalizing fans and appeasing the dreams of others, in the process, aggravating enemies.
Thousands of voices were heard on the news broadcasting from the television over drinks at a café "Donde está Justin!" "Pienso que le vea!" "Me encanta vos, Justin!" "Casáme!!!!"
The thousands were barracading his hotel.
(That last phrase is "Marry Me," in the command form of spanish)
The tickets began at a base price of 1500 Argentine Pesos - I don't want to imagine how high they could have gone.
When musicians come here from the States, people go crazy and pay whatever it costs - I gave 300 to see Guns N Roses. I thought that was steep.
Many say that they don't have music like we do. But 1500?
I guess this kid is some sort of growing cultural phenomenon or something.
