FRANCISM

I am not a big fan of Francis Magalona, but I am a fan. Naaastigan ako sa kanya! I have always admired artists who do not just perform but inspire and influence as well. Francis M. is just one of the few Pinoy artists who were able to inject meaning into their craft. Admiringly, he was able to combine patriotism in his works, whether it be his music, his shirt designs or his web journal. His music is actually likeable, not like most rap music today where one will hate the lyrics/content as much as the beat.

Contrary to what everyone is saying, Francis M. is not a big loss. Our country (not only our country's music industry) has benefitted a lot from this man. He has left a legacy. Time might come that his music will be outdated or his style outmoded, but the meaning that he was able to embed in his craft will remain.

God bless what Francis Magalona has left -- his family, his friends, his followers, his legacy.

Francis M. in his first performance at Eat Bulaga after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Uhh, yes, pinicturan ko ang TV namin dati lang para jan. Sabi sa inyo di ako big fan eh. :P

In that performance, he sang Super Proxy with Ely Buendia. They were both in recupration that time (Ely from his heart attack and Kiko from leukemia). Pinicturan ko din kasi gusto ko si Kiko, tapos gusto ni Nikki si Ely. :P Tsaka astig ang combination nila. :)
