During the American occupation they used to call us Little Brown Americans, and until now that is true. With the internet, this is even more correct because we have direct access to information. Lately, in the last few years, the Filipino promoters brought to the Philippines the artists that the Americans themselves have taken for granted by this time. We haven't forgotten them and their shows are fully booked. We had Toto, Cascades, Lettermen, Christopher Cross, Dione Warwick .. etc. These artists not taken for granted in the Philippines. They are still much admired. And their Filipino age group now are middle aged and have the money to<BR/> buy the concert tickets. (As teenager, they probably didn't have the money for a concert by a current pop star in the US, way back then.) The person who wrote Rhinestone Cowboy is welcome to this beautiful country!
