INXS coming to DR, hehehe!

Can anyone tell me how anybody can listen to "Need You tonight", "what you need", "New sensation" and their great repertoire without Michael Hutchense? This is a waste of time. These guys also look like grandaddies now, not quite the INXS mystique. But Dominicans will flock as usual and be taken for a ride.

Why does it irritate you so much when people who you don't know spend their money in a manner that you don't agree with? I would never pay the prices that you do for Designer LabeL clothes,but if you want a Gucci belt,go right ahead.I guess that is why Dominicans go to Baskin Robbins Icecream stores to pay 3 times more for bad icecream when Helados Bon is better!

You're absolutely right. If I were wearing an old Gucci belt, or one of those "passe" Versace shirts with the gold leafing I would certainly feel as bad as watching the old, with the missing link INXS.

What is your proof that Helados Bon is better than Baskin Robbins?

More than likely Helados Bon (which I have never tasted ) doesn't have the the junk in it like Baskin Robbins. Full of additives and preservatives. People like "BRANDS" even if it kills them.
Pardon me I should have said "Brand Names"

Not sure but the name says it all,Bon

I will pose a challenge. Next time you go to Helados Bon try the regular "pasa" or raisin flavor and tell me if you find any small bits or pieces of raisins in it and if it tastes like "pasa" should taste.

More likely you will find a watered down ice cream that feels more like cheap italian ice.

That's not all. Go to the supermarket and buy their premium brand which will cost you far more less than at the counter and you will find most containers caps off, because it has no protection. The ice cream feels old and icy, besides overpriced.

Here's another test. Go to Nestle's Ice Cream and buy any flavor and compare it to Bon's, including the much better price and portions for Nestle and let me know. I will be waiting for your opinion.

Back to INXS... olvidense de helados!!

Having seen the band during their peak a few times, I must agree with Golo. Just in the office today I was talking to some co-workers about this show and how I might catch it since I'll be in DR that week but I started to think.. it's not really INXS anymore.
Michael Hutchence *was* what made the band what they were by simpley being one of modern rock's best frontman... Without him, they're just a cover band. I would have liked them to change their name and reinvent themselves, very much like Joy Division did when they became New Order.. and heck, belt out a few old INXS hits along the way... New Order do it these days, so why not them?

Paying those absurd prices is mindless when there are a ton of other bands out there than can rock DR if someone would just bring them on. In any case, I'm checking out Midge Ure (ultravox) tonight at a small lounge here in NY tonight.. so let's see what he has to perform.

I may not be a connoisseur,more like an "open sewer"!, but Helados Bon is really good! At 1/3 the price of Baskin Robbins!I love Ron Pasa,Dulce de Leche,Coco,Malta,habichuelas con dulce,to name a few! Any ice cream that has been frozen and thawed several times will taste watery,and have ice crystals,I buy at the Naco Plaza,and Jardin Botanico,Arroyo Hondo where they have a planta.Stop buying Helado in Villa Mella!CRIS

Try the new flavor of the month at baskins robbins, yum yum yum. Its called the tree (something) chocolate. Its soooo delicious. Yes the damn thing costs much more than BON but certainly worth it.
