Grim realisation halts Cuba clubbers in their tracks |
|
|
Revellers in Cuba last Wednesday where stunned by an event that was described
by witnesses as 'profound'. At a quarter past twelve, with drink taken and the
party in full flight, the crowd were being entertained by the sound of The Killers
latest single. Stephen Kinnane, an Arts student from Ennistymon, describes what
happened next.
"We were just boogieing away when all of a sudden we all just stopped. This guy beside me nudged me and said, 'This is actually shite, isn't it?'. I don't know what happened, but everyone in the place just took a spontaneous and instant dislike to The Killers." The music was stopped and the house lights came on, as people tried to console each other. The generous management of Cuba, realising the gravity of the situation, offered a free shot of brandy to soothe nerves and extra seating was introduced for the shaken clientele. "I can't believe this has happened. I've two copies of Hot Fuss, I was gonna get a third one when my grant comes in this week." An inconsolable Stephen added: "I can't believe I wasted so much of my time dancing to that shite." |
