Chapter 7: The Moffatts!

Oh! You guys may not know, but let me tell you about it:


I AM STILL AND ALWAYS BE THE BIGGEST FANS OF THE MOFFATTS!

Yes! I am proud to be their fans. I'm proud and proud and proud. I am crazy about them! If they still exist until now, maybe they're the only thing that can put aside HARRY POTTER away from me for awhile! I am soooo into them!! Aaarrggghh.. I miss them so much!

Let me start my story about how I got my love-at-first-sight with The Moffatts (which a brief introduction about them I put in my second blog http://daraddicted2.blogspot.com/ names "Daraddicted Lists"). Back in 1998 or somewhere around that year, there are thousands of Boy/girl bands - well actually they didn't really play in the band - and real bands. They are group singers like Backstreetboys, Boyzone, 911, Spice Girls, B*witched, All Saints and 98 Degrees. And I still rememeber how famous Hanson and Aaron Carter that time. First, I knew exactly the one I adored the more is Aaron Carter but then there was it; I saw The Moffatts video "I'll be there for you" playing in the TV and since then I have love at the first sight with them! Then I saw more video of them and it drove me crazy even more! I mean what a cute guys they are! And they were still young that time! I was even younger but I was so crazy about them. One of my favourite song when they have collaboration with Gil Ofarim in "If you only knew", God.. please.. I remember exactly those days! Really.

Start from that, I collected every single things about The Moffatts; few cassettes and CDs, hundreds of posters, thousands of news I cut from the magazines and tabloids and newspapers, and ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I can get; pictures, bag, t-shirts. Gosh, I was The Moffatts' freak! Mom kinda worried about me. Actually she didn't really know that I spent my pocket money for those stuffs. She was mad already when she knew I adore The Moffatts. I played their songs everytime. My family, all of them, got sick of it. Hahah. It was so nice remembering those days.

*Young The Moffatts! I also have their country album! Crazy, isn't it? Me, I mean. haha.

The best things of all, I went to see them live in concert. It was the hardest dream to come true. My parents would never allow me to go to any concerts. It was quite reasonable. I was only around 12 years old that time and no one older enough to take care of me, and my parents are not this kind of concert-lover, no they hate concerts! Once, first time I went to see Gil Ofarim live in Hard Rock Cafe, my parents allowed me only because it was only in a cafe, not a big stadium or whatever, and my uncle was there, and the tickets were for free. But I was so excited I tried so hard to be in the front line (I mean, I wanted to see him closer). Then you know what will happen if you try to get the front side, everybody wants the same thing and they keep pushing you from all of sides, you can't breath, and to make it faster, I fainted. The worst thing that my parents always use to ban me from any more concert after that including The Moffatts no matter how sad I was! But I can still try my best to convince them. The second chance was Westlife concert. I don't really fancy them so I didn'r even bother to try to get a good view. I just stood in the middle with my friends and the most important thing was I got back home safely. So then my parents allow me for The Moffatts concert. I was around 14 years old that time. Best time ever!

Only few months after they have concert in Indonesia, The Moffatts dissapeared. I cannot say they broke up, because they are all brothers, you cannot use the term broke up for a family right? But that news has shocked me out! It's shoucked everybody out! They were just having their concerts and promoted new album "Submodalities" then suddenly, they don't exist anymore. Quite a few reasons coming from them. Scott wanted to have "normal" life and has his own job, Dave continued his study, while Clint and Bob still stayed in music industry. They made new band called HIDELL but that didn't give a shit because they joined woth other memebrs of their friends and their songs weren't really that outstanding like The Moffatts used to have. The Clint and Bob make their own duet band names SAME SAME which, I think still try to survive until now. Their songs, at least, have more The Moffatts' souls than Hidell.

*See, aren't they cute? Love them so much!

Long time I never heard of them anymore. But whatever happen, just let say suddenly The Moffatts is back again, I'll make sure that I'll be one of the first one to welcome them back!
