I was doing some cursory research for my sister’s project when I chanced upon this funny Wikipedia entry on Pupil, and vocalist Ely Buendia’s recent heart attack:

Buendia was finally released from the Hospital and was allowed to stay at home and rest by his doctors on the night of January 15, 2007. [… ] This event prompted rapper Francis Magalona who is a longtime friend of Buendia and the other Eraserheads, to state the following on his personal blog: “Fast forward to right now, 9:58 am, Jan. 9, alot of what ifs scenarios pop in my head. What if the E-heads members are back, like long-lost blood brothers? What if “the most significant OPM band of Pinoy Rock” would be in one room, what would happen?” And in postscript he adds, “Para sa akin panahon na para mag-reunite ang E-heads. Sugod na mga kapatid…rock & roll na hanggang umaga.“”

Way to motivate a guy there, Francis. Give Ely another heart attack by quoting lyrics written by Raymund.

(Curiously — although not unsurprisingly — Marasigan’s name is NOT on the list of local artists that Buendia and his wife Diane thanked after his recovery. The other two Eraserheads were though.)
