Sólo ocurre en Perú.
Tal cual el título, esta frase en parte es acuñada por lo que ocurre en nuestro diario vivir, en la calle, el trabajo, el bus, la combi, .... en cualquier lugar ocurren situaciones similares en las que te puedes sentir ofuscado, medio loqueado por situaciones bochornosas o jocosas como ayer me sucedió:
Venía de estudiar y el cobrador metía mas gente al punto de decir la famosa frase hecha una miniserie: AL FONDO HAY SITIO, (cantándo el tema de la TV...)
NOTA: el cobrador era colombiano y como tal un afanador de primera
Me puse a reir mentalmente, un ejercicio que es muy bueno ya que hay tanto loco alrededor tuyo que puede pensar que eres de su especie y te pueda lanzar una mirada de familiaridad, luego de estar tan apretado se le ocurre subir a señoras no solo de la 3ra edad, sino de la 4ta edad (jeje) y como buen caballero a ceder el sitio reservado, a pocas cuadras de llegar a mi destino comienza un debate acalorado sobre el problema vial y los paros que estan ocurriendo a nivel Nacional, mezclado con revanchismo religioso de tener fe y creer, mezclas paganas de una conversación sin sentido y sin fin, yo seguía en mi ejercicio mental de risas, gracias al chofer llegué a mi paradero y pude abandonar aquella custer oxidada, donde ocurren situaciones incomprendidas por muchos, donde aquel chofer maneja y las palabras fluyen detrás suyo en tonos histriónicos y cantinflescos por parte de la sociedad limeña de antaño, actual y porvenir.

El periodista deportivo Micky Rospigliosi murió hoy por la mañana tras una dura lucha contra el cáncer, el cual fue detectado en el mes de septiembre del año pasado, 2008.
Cabe mencionar que la información fue dada a conocer por el director del Hospital de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, Carlos Vallejos.
Minutos después, el hermano del periodista, José Luis Rospigliosi, detalló que Micky falleció alrededor de las 10 de la mañana, junto a él estaban su hermano y su novia Vanessa Acevedo.
Por su parte, el director del Instituto de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, Carlos Vallejos, indicó que Micky no sufrió al morir, ya que se encontraba sedado.
Como se recuerda en septiembre del 2008, Micky salió ante la prensa para manifestar que los médicos le habían detectado un tumor de 23 centímetros en el colon y que, por consiguiente, fue diagnosticado de cáncer al colon.
Sin embargo, cuando Micky pensó que la dura batalla contra el cáncer había culminado, los doctores del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN) le comunicaran que su penosa enfermedad había regresado.
Cabe mencionar que el jueves 9 de julio el conocido hombre de prensa fue internado de emergencia, porque su estado de salud decayó irremediablemente.

¿Deltron está siguiendo el camino de E. Lulli?
Continuemos con el tema:
El Grupo Deltron es una de las principales empresas proveedoras de partes y piezas de computadoras en el mercado. Ellos son los “Reyes” de las PCs Compatibles y sus líneas de partes es muy buena, sus precios por lo general estan por lo general entre los “mas bajos del mercado” para el grupo de ensambladores de computadoras que a su vez las van a vender a End-Users.
La distribución de Deltron es tan fuerte, que según tengo entendido un grupo de gente de Wilson hace su “chanchita” y les compra cosas en cantidades grandes como Cases y otros componentes. Para hacer un poco de historia, Deltron empezó en una casa de 2 pisos en Chama - Surco, de ahí fué creciendo y se mudaron a un local mucho mas grande en Córpac y hace menos de 1 año se mudaron a un local mucho mas grande en Santa Catalina.
El compromiso principal de Deltron (hasta antes que se mudaran a Santa Catalina) fué la venta al por mayor y menor a distribuidores registrados en su base de datos que se dedicaran a ensamblaje, a los mismos que les señalaba de que “eran socios de sus clientes, no su competencia”.
Por otro lado y para los mas jóvenes fijo que no se acuerdan, hasta hace no muchos años (comienzos de los ’90s) existía una empresa llamada Enrique Lulli, que tambien se llamaba E. Lulli o mas sencillo, simplemente Lulli.
Esta empresa se dedicaba antes del boom de la computadoras a las históricas y famosas máquinas de escribir “margarita” y su línea era de oficina. Con la llegada de las computadoras, E. Lulli se volvió el líder de ventas de partes y piezas de computadoras, por lo que el recien naciente mercado de ensamblaje estaba en sus “pininos”.
Lulli siguó vendiendo partes y piezas de computadoras, pero a algún “brillante” gerente se le ocurrió sacar a la venta las PCs ya ensambladas para venta al público. Fué tal el impulso que le dió Lulli a este mercado, de que se convirtió un competidor (con muchísima ventaja) de los propios clientes de Lulli.
Por ejemplo, tu ibas a ensamblar una PC, le ponias todos los componentes y por ejemplo, esta costaba en la época 1,500 dolares. Pues si te ibas a Lulli directamente (por el avisaje en el periódico) y encontrabas la misma máquina a 1,470 dólares. Osea que el ensamblador ya estaba “volando” y eso que aún ni incluian su margen.
¿Entonces que pasó? Pues en un momento dado a E. Lulli la desaparecieron en 2 meses.
No se cual fue la versión real. Por un lado dicen de que las empresas grandes de ventas de computadoras ensambladas (clientes de Lulli) se pusieron de acuerdo, y no les compraron “ni un sólo alfiler mas”, osea que Lulli se quedó de la noche a la mañana sin ventas. Por otro lado cuentan que la gente que ya se habia puesto de acuerdo, y le mandaron “opíparas” órdenes de compra a Lulli por varios millones de dólares, este último se endeudó y cuando llegó la mercadería sencillamente nadie le compró nada. Si alguien tiene la verdadera versión que me la haga saber.
Eso le sucedió a E. Lulli por chocar con el canal de distribución de partes y piezas.
Ahora Deltron parece que no se acuerda de la historia y ha sacado su tienda de venta al público llamada Login Store ¡en su mismo edificio!, la misma que le hace competencia a los ensambladores de partes y piezas locales.
Hace no mucho conversaba con un cliente y me mencionó: “los ensambladores estan molestos con Deltron porque ha sacado Login Store”. Vaya a ser que le ocurra a Deltron lo mismo que le ocurrió a E. Lulli hace algunos años.
Com reza un verso por ahi: “La historia nos da lecciones para no repetir los errores del pasado”

letras de lennonphile - canciones que john lennon no pudo terminar
Tennessee 1975
America, America,
your heroes are alive,
your faded men and glory will survive.
The madness in your soul
supplies the all consuming fire.
Beneath your spreaded chestnut lies
A Streetcar Named Desire.
Tennessee, oh, Tennessee,
your southern mellowing,
music travelled far from New Orleans.
Slings and arrows mirrored
in the magic of your dreams.
Reflected echoed harmony
of the naked human beings.
Reflected echoed harmony
of the cold and lonely naked human beings.
From A Streetcar Named Desire
to Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
From The Night Of The Iguana
to The Rose Tattoo.
America, America...
From The Glass Menagerie
to Summer And Smoke.
From The Fugitive Kind
to Sweet Bird Of Youth.
Tennessee, oh, Tennessee,
what you've shown to me,
your words like water pure and clear.
The sadness of your soul
reveals the music of the spheres.
Concealed behind your spirited mind,
your poet's love and fear.
Concealed behind your spirited mind,
your poet's love and fear.

You Saved My Soul 1980
When I was lonely and scared,
I nearly fell for a TV preacher
in a hotel room in Tokyo.
Wo oh, your true love saved me from that suicide,
because of all the things I'd die
along with you.
Remember the time,
I went to jump right out that apartment window
on the west side of town of old New York.
Wo oh, you saved me from that suicide,
because of all my foolish pride.
You saved my soul.
When I was lonely and scared,
I nearly fell for a TV preacher
in a hotel room in Tokyo.
Wo oh, your true love saved me from that suicide,
because of all the things I'd die
along with you.
Remember the time,
I went to jump right out that apartment window
on the west side of town of old New York.
Wo oh, you saved me from that suicide,
because of all my foolish pride.
Wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
for saving my soul with your true love.

Sally And Billy 1970
Sally was proud, never ran with the crowd,
independent and beautiful.
Oh, how beautiful!
Spends all her days in her bursting affairs,
drinking coffee and reading plays.
Oh, how beautiful!
Oh, my Sally,
Sally, now don't you cry.
Oh, how she cried,
wiping the tears from her eyes.
Heart running dry,
she's never satisfied.
Billy's her man and he sings in a band
on the road, doing one night stands.
Hell of a lucky man!
Spends all his time playing games with his mind,
chasing women and living high.
Hell of a lucky guy!
Oh, no, Billy,
Billy, now don't you cry.
Oh, how he cried,
hiding the tears in his eyes.
Heart running dry,
he's never satisfied.
Well it's too late now
to make it up somehow.
Too late now,
they missed the boat somehow.
Sally and Billy are over the hill,
neither one of them understands.
I guess they never will.
Both of them dreaming of what might have been,
hoping Jesus will intervene.
I guess that happens still.
Sally and Billy, don't cry.
Billy and Sally, don't cry...

Mirror, Mirror (On The Wall) 1977
Sometimes I look in the mirror
and nobody's there,
but I just keep on staring, staring,
oh, can it be, can it be, can it be?
Sometimes I look in the mirror
and nobody's there,
but I just keep on wondering, wondering,
no, is it me, is it me, is it me?
Feeling too small,
there on the wall,
I can't relieve all my pain.
Some stranger's eyes
put a spell on my mind,
over and over again.
Sometimes I look in the mirror
and nobody's there,
but I just keep on staring, staring,
oh, can it be, can it be, can it be?
My life will pass,
breaking the glass
I always cross in my brain.
Too many lies
facing me from behind,
over and over again.

The Happy Rishikesh Song 1980
All you need to do is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd, but it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
will give you all the answers.
So swallow this, that's all you've gotta do.
Everything you need is here
and everything that's not here is not there.
And yet there's something missing
in this God Almighty plan.
Could it be you need a woman?
All you need to do is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd, but it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
will give you all the answers.
So swallow this, that's all you've gotta do.
Take three times a day after every meal!
All you need to do is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd, but it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
will give you all the answers.
So swallow this, that's all you've gotta do.
Everything you need is here
and everything that's not here is not there.
And yet there's something missing
in this God Almighty plan.
Could it be you need a woman?
Now all you need to do is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd, but it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
will give you all the answers.
So swallow this, that's all you've gotta do.
But still feel so suicidal, something is wrong.
Just can't live, something is wrong.
Oo ooh, something is wrong...

Serve Yourself 1980
You say you found Jesus and he's the only one.
You say you found Buddha sitting in the sun.
You say you found Mohammed bowing to the East.
You say you found Krishna dancing in the street.
Well there's too much cockamamie, too much cock-a-doodle-doo.
You know there's something missing in this God Almighty stew,
and it's your mother.
You say we came from monkeys or something weird like that.
You say the Garden of Eden is really where it's at.
You say we came in spaceships and maybe ran out of gas.
You say we came from nowhere and this too will pass.
Well wherever we all came from, we sure as hell are here.
And who on earth you cry for when the bogeyman is near?
Well it's your mother.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
Well you may believe in devils, you may believe in lords,
but you know you're gonna have to serve yourself, honey.
You know that two is company and three's a family.
You need the tree of knowledge, a Holy Trinity.
You can't have one without the other as sure as night follows day.
That's the law of nature, it can't be any other way, honey.
Well you may believe in Mickey Mouse or even Donald Duck,
but who the hell you turn to when you really need a... oo ooh?
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you...

Now And Then 1979
I know it's true,
it's all because of you.
And if I make it through,
it's all because of you.
And now and then,
if we must start again,
well we will know for sure
that I love you.
I don't wanna lose you,
oh, no, no, no,
abuse you or confuse you,
oh, no, no, no, sweet darling.
But if you have to go away,
if you have to go,
well you'll be leaving that way.
Now and then
I miss you.
Oh, now and then
I hope you will return to me,
you will return to me.
I know it's true,
it's all because of you.
And if you go away,
I know, you can't stay.
Now and then
I miss you.
Oh, now and then
I hope you will return to me,
you will return to me.

Don't Be Afraid 1980
Don't be afraid,
it's just the wind and light.
Don't be afraid,
this house is very strange.
In the morning we'll be gone,
don't be afraid.
We'll watch the dawn till the sun comes up,
drinking coffee from our favorite cup.
Girl, you been good to me,
so don't be afraid tonight.
Don't be afraid,
it's just the cats at play.
Don't be afraid,
they do it night and day in their street.
They're gone by the morning,
so don't be afraid of me.
We'll dream around till the dawn comes up,
drinking coffee from our favorite cup.
Girl, you been good to me,
so don't be afraid tonight.
Don't be afraid,
don't be afraid...
Mr. Hyde, he's really gone away,
won't be back till next full moon,
so we can bill and spoon,
in June,
and croon...

Life Begins At Forty 1980
They say life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true, you know
that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
And if life begins at forty,
well I hope it ain't the same.
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't want to be born again.
Well I tried to sweep the slate clean
with a new broom everyday.
If that don't work, I'll jerk around
until my next birthday.
Oh, yeah, life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
Well if all that's true, you know
that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
Sometimes I get the feeling
daylight has come too soon.
Hoping for something better,
howling at the moon.
Ow!
They say life begins at forty,

She Is A Friend Of Dorothy's 1976
Come to the underground,
sure know her way around.
TV pretty elegant,
art deco decadent.
Hot lips and no shame,
all fun and no game.
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!
She is a friend... oh!
A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.
A friend of Dorothy's, I know it.
A friend of Dorothy's, who is she?
Whoever she is...
Queen of the discothèques,
sheik of arabesque.
French jeans and nasty boots,
red hair and yellow roots.
Frederick's of Hollywood,
Maid Marion and Robin Hood.
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!
She is a friend... oh!
A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.
A friend of Dorothy's, I know it.
A friend of Dorothy's, who is she?
Whoever she is...
Trust in God and she will provide,
she'll keep you satisfied.
Oo ooh!

So long, baby!
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!

A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.

Whatever Happened To... 1978
She's coming from nowhere.
Well she used to be an artist,
but she threw away the key,
got a job, you know, nine to five.
And the most peculiar people
hang around her every day,
bunch of slobs, you know the kind.
She's coming from nowhere,
keeps herself in the dark,
hides her head in a scarf,
got her books in the shop.
Whatever happened to
the woman we once knew?
The river's rising fast,
and if she hears me now,
trying to get a message somehow,
don't build a boat that doesn't last.
Well she used to be a swinger,
now the rope's around her neck,
such a shame, ain't that a shame?
And her mother was a lawyer,
taught her how to read a check,
you know the game, who's to blame?
She's coming from nowhere,
keeps herself in the dark,
hides her head in a scarf,
got her books in the shop.
Whatever happened to

and if she hears me now,

Help Me To Help Myself 1980
Well I tried so hard to stay alive,
but the angel of destruction
keeps on hounding me all around.
But I know, in my heart,
that we never really parted, oh, no.
They say the Lord helps those who help themselves,
so I'm asking this question
in the hope that you'll be kind,
'cause I know, deep inside,
I was never satisfied, oh, no.
Lord, help me.
Lord, help me now.
Please help me, Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Help me to help myself,
help me to help myself.

The magic's in the mantra,
will give you all the answers.
So swallow this, that's all you've gotta do.
But still feel so suicidal, something is wrong.
Just can't live, something is wrong.
Oo ooh, something is wrong...

Serve Yourself 1980
You say you found Jesus and he's the only one.
You say you found Buddha sitting in the sun.
You say you found Mohammed bowing to the East.
You say you found Krishna dancing in the street.
Well there's too much cockamamie, too much cock-a-doodle-doo.
You know there's something missing in this God Almighty stew,
and it's your mother.
You say we came from monkeys or something weird like that.
You say the Garden of Eden is really where it's at.
You say we came in spaceships and maybe ran out of gas.
You say we came from nowhere and this too will pass.
Well wherever we all came from, we sure as hell are here.
And who on earth you cry for when the bogeyman is near?
Well it's your mother.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
Well you may believe in devils, you may believe in lords,
but you know you're gonna have to serve yourself, honey.
You know that two is company and three's a family.
You need the tree of knowledge, a Holy Trinity.
You can't have one without the other as sure as night follows day.
That's the law of nature, it can't be any other way, honey.
Well you may believe in Mickey Mouse or even Donald Duck,
but who the hell you turn to when you really need a... oo ooh?
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you.
You got to serve yourself,
ain't nobody gonna do it for you...

Now And Then 1979
I know it's true,
it's all because of you.
And if I make it through,
it's all because of you.
And now and then,
if we must start again,
well we will know for sure
that I love you.
I don't wanna lose you,
oh, no, no, no,
abuse you or confuse you,
oh, no, no, no, sweet darling.
But if you have to go away,
if you have to go,
well you'll be leaving that way.
Now and then
I miss you.
Oh, now and then
I hope you will return to me,
you will return to me.
I know it's true,
it's all because of you.
And if you go away,
I know, you can't stay.
Now and then
I miss you.
Oh, now and then
I hope you will return to me,
you will return to me.

Don't Be Afraid 1980
Don't be afraid,
it's just the wind and light.
Don't be afraid,
this house is very strange.
In the morning we'll be gone,
don't be afraid.
We'll watch the dawn till the sun comes up,
drinking coffee from our favorite cup.
Girl, you been good to me,
so don't be afraid tonight.
Don't be afraid,
it's just the cats at play.
Don't be afraid,
they do it night and day in their street.
They're gone by the morning,
so don't be afraid of me.
We'll dream around till the dawn comes up,
drinking coffee from our favorite cup.
Girl, you been good to me,
so don't be afraid tonight.
Don't be afraid,
don't be afraid...
Mr. Hyde, he's really gone away,
won't be back till next full moon,
so we can bill and spoon,
in June,
and croon...

Life Begins At Forty 1980
They say life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true, you know
that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
And if life begins at forty,
well I hope it ain't the same.
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't want to be born again.
Well I tried to sweep the slate clean
with a new broom everyday.
If that don't work, I'll jerk around
until my next birthday.
Oh, yeah, life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
Well if all that's true, you know
that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
Sometimes I get the feeling
daylight has come too soon.
Hoping for something better,
howling at the moon.
Ow!

She Is A Friend Of Dorothy's 1976
Come to the underground,
sure know her way around.
TV pretty elegant,
art deco decadent.
Hot lips and no shame,
all fun and no game.
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!
She is a friend... oh!
A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.
A friend of Dorothy's, I know it.
A friend of Dorothy's, who is she?
Whoever she is...
Queen of the discothèques,
sheik of arabesque.
French jeans and nasty boots,
red hair and yellow roots.
Frederick's of Hollywood,
Maid Marion and Robin Hood.
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!
She is a friend... oh!
A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.
A friend of Dorothy's, I know it.
A friend of Dorothy's, who is she?
Whoever she is...
Trust in God and she will provide,
she'll keep you satisfied.
Oo ooh!
Oo ooh!
So long, baby!
She is a friend of Dorothy's, ah!
She is a friend... oh!
A friend of Dorothy's, she shows it.
A friend of Dorothy's, I know it.
A friend of Dorothy's, who is she?
Whoever she is...

Whatever Happened To... 1978
She's coming from nowhere.
Well she used to be an artist,
but she threw away the key,
got a job, you know, nine to five.
And the most peculiar people
hang around her every day,
bunch of slobs, you know the kind.
She's coming from nowhere,
keeps herself in the dark,
hides her head in a scarf,
got her books in the shop.
Whatever happened to
the woman we once knew?
The river's rising fast,
and if she hears me now,
trying to get a message somehow,
don't build a boat that doesn't last.
Well she used to be a swinger,
now the rope's around her neck,
such a shame, ain't that a shame?
And her mother was a lawyer,
taught her how to read a check,
you know the game, who's to blame?
She's coming from nowhere,
keeps herself in the dark,
hides her head in a scarf,
got her books in the shop.
Whatever happened to
the woman we once knew?
The river's rising fast,
and if she hears me now,
trying to get a message somehow,
don't build a boat that doesn't last.
She's coming from nowhere...

Help Me To Help Myself 1980
Well I tried so hard to stay alive,
but the angel of destruction
keeps on hounding me all around.
But I know, in my heart,
that we never really parted, oh, no.
They say the Lord helps those who help themselves,
so I'm asking this question
in the hope that you'll be kind,
'cause I know, deep inside,
I was never satisfied, oh, no.
Lord, help me.
Lord, help me now.
Please help me, Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Help me to help myself,
help me to help myself.

Los Escarabajos - covers beatles
No son precisamente coleópteros, ni proceden de Liverpool, ni es el inglés su lengua materna, pero han asumido una comprometida y singular empresa tras su fundación en Sevilla a finales de 1993: la reproducción en vivo de la obra de Los Beatles lo más fielmente posible al sonido original, parodiando también el humor del cuarteto británico en sus conciertos.
El proyecto nace de la mano del productor, escritor y coleccionista hispalense Enrique Sánchez (guitarra, teclados, voces), albergando a veinticuatro músicos nacionales e internacionales a lo largo de diecisiete promociones y cuatro etapas diferentes. A él se suman José Antonio Vaquerizo (guitarra, teclados, voces), Miguel Labrado (bajo, voces) y Benjamín Serrano (batería, voces) en la formación actual del grupo, ampliable a quinteto con la colaboración de Julio Niño (teclados, percusión, voces).
Desde su concepción en otoño de 1993, Los Escarabajos han cosechado logros que no suelen engrosar la biografía de un artista versionador, por no decir la de un replicante, pues su particular Homenaje a The Beatles discurre al margen de semejantes definiciones. Abrir la programación de las Fallas, inaugurar una calle dedicada a los Fab Four, impulsar el aprendizaje del inglés con una gira por centros docentes, reconsiderar las tomas alternativas de algunas composiciones, recuperar la obra inconclusa de John Lennon, tocar junto a figuras del círculo íntimo de Los Beatles, culminar un disco en el legendario club The Cavern, hermanar su ciudad natal con
la de sus ídolos en el cuarenta aniversario del verano del amor... constituyen sólo unos pocos. Y, por si no basta, a la historia global de la banda hay que añadir las aportaciones individuales de su fundador Enrique Sánchez, como son la publicación de los libros Olé, Beatles! y Beatles en el aire, realizar exposiciones o dar conferencias monográficas en la Universidad. Una vocación beat sentida y ejercida hasta sus últimas consecuencias.
De este modo, con el espíritu de un taller en directo sin límite en el repertorio, el grupo mantiene un centenar de
intervenciones anuales en todo tipo de eventos, entre los que destaca la Beatle Week de Liverpool, donde lleva representando a España durante siete años consecutivos, y posee nueve álbumes en su discografía, incluyendo recopilatorios. En el primer apartado, cabe mencionar otras experiencias en el extranjero como la Beatles Night francesa y el Fun 'n' Sun Festival portugués; en el segundo, la banda sonora aún inédita de la película Pobre juventud. Y siempre permanecerá abierta la puerta a la propia creatividad.
Tanto en sus actuaciones como en sus grabaciones, Los Escarabajos pretenden conseguir el máximo acercamiento al objeto de su estudio, que es el cancionero de Los Beatles dentro del universo lírico y musical que le rodea, sin disfraz uniformado pero con un deliberado guiño a la indumentaria e instrumentación de la época, teñido de academia y surrealismo en sus presentaciones. La audiencia más especializada ha redescubierto a los Fab Four a través de ellos en formato eléctrico, en producciones temáticas tales como el Concierto Toque de Pepper (Fue hace 40 años), Help Is On The Way, Dando en el Blanco y la Pineapple Rooftop Performance, a la vez que en acústico, en el llamado Escarabásico, título de su más reciente álbum, una trilogía de la que ya han aparecido dos volúmenes.
Con un impresionante despliegue técnico, el gran público tendrá oportunidad de hacerlo en ¡Qué noche la de aquel día!, nuevo espectáculo multimedia del combo sevillano.
En definitiva, es imposible hablar del fenómeno beatle en España sin contar con Los Escarabajos. Únicamente queda decir que el dilatado bagaje profesional del proyecto no resta juventud ni espontaneidad a un grupo cuyo repertorio jamás tendrá edad. Y cualquier parecido es algo más que pura coincidencia.

Desactivan la alerta de tsunami por terremoto en Honduras
Desactivan la alerta de tsunami por terremoto en Honduras
El instituto había advertido de que existía la posibilidad de un tsunami en un área de 100 kilómetros de radio del epicentro del sismo.
El Centro de Alerta de Tsunami del Pacifico ha desactivado la alarma para el Caribe y Centroamérica, salvo Puerto Rico y las Islas Vírgenes, que puso en marcha por el terremoto de 7,1 grados de magnitud en la escala abierta de Richter que sacudió hoy las costas de Honduras.
El instituto, situado en Hawai (Estados Unidos), había advertido de que existía la posibilidad de un tsunami en un área de 100 kilómetros de radio del epicentro del sismo, lo que afectaba a Honduras, Belice y Guatemala.
El potente seísmo se sintió en Tegucigalpa, la capital de Honduras, según testigos, y se desconoce si ha producido daños personales o materiales, de momento.
El temblor, que tuvo lugar a las 03.24 hora local (08.24 GMT), el hipocentro fue localizado a 130 kilómetros de La Ceiba, en la costa norte hondureña, informó el Instituto Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS).
Poco después del terremoto, el Centro de Alertas de Tsunamis del Pacífico emitió un aviso para todos los países costeros del Caribe, a excepción de Puerto Rico y las Islas Vírgenes, y advirtió a las autoridades de la región de que tomen medidas ante esta eventualidad.
Asimismo aseguró que en áreas más alejadas al epicentro -situado a 10 kilómetros de profundidad- se pueden producir ocasionalmente fuertes oleajes y movimientos inusuales de las mareas. EFE
