Making an entrance again

Ooops, sorry – wrong concert
A reader emailed me yesterday about Thursday night’s Joseph Calleja/Zucchero concert:
I wish somebody would confirm this and tell me that my eyes weren’t playing tricks one me yesterday evening.
If I am not mistaken, Joseph Muscat arrived late at the Fosos. The orchestra was already playing the first piece.
It was 20.50 when he arrived, walked in front of everybody and to top it all had to go all the way round to accompany his daughter to the choir entrance.
I would have loved to take a photo but was too far away as I could only afford the 80-euro seats, not the platinum ones where he was seated, no doubt free of charge.

And isn’t Saviour pathetic?
Can anyone let us know how the children’s choir was chosen and whether little miss Muscat went through the same procedire as the other children to be chosen?
Yes I noticed that too. In fact the concert started late as well probably to wait for his highness who always turns up late.
His sense of British punctuality seems to be in direct proportion to his grasp of British humour.
But Me Shall said that he has excellent time management! So why is he always late? Maybe someone can give him a watch that keeps good time.
Yes, the concert started a few minutes late. And yes, Muscat’s car turned up after the concert started, meaning that he was even later than the start-time of 8.30pm.
We mere mortals left home (a 10-minute drive from Hamrun/Blata l-Bajda) at 8pm, parked near the PN stamperija, walked up to near Spencer monument in Blata l-Bajda to catch a bus … and made it to the concert on time, only to find that it was then starting late.
Admittedly, yes, there was heavy traffic all the way from Pieta’, then one has got to cater for such time-delays, especially when one has no option -as prime minister – but to be SEATED well before the scheduled starting time.
Joseph Calleja promised a surprise on the night (which turned out to be Riccardo Cocciante), Until Cocciante turned up, I was half-expecting Michelle Muscat to prance onto the stage, announcing “Hellow, orrajt? Illum jien gejt!”.
Riccardo Cocciante? A second rate singer known only in Italy and a tiny bit in France and Germany mainly amongst the Italian community.
What an ill mannered man. Does he think he is some prima donna who makes everyone wait as he think he is that important. No sensitivity whatsoever. His parents are to blame for what he has turned out to be – a spoilt brat who thinks he is above everyone. If his wife truly loves him she should gently point out the correct manner of doing things unless she is like him too.
She is on record saying he’s an excellent time manager.
It’s always someone else’s fault he’s late.
Unless she s like him? Seriously?
I suggest that Calleja stops holding these populist concerts. He’s just trying to mimic Pavarotti who, unlike him, started paired up with chart-singers when his career at its end.
Miskin, il Prim – imhabbat taf! Min jaf Kastilja kemm ghandu xoghol!
