BONO, JASON KERRISON, BROOKE FRASER: TURNS OUT, MOM’S FAVORITE CELEBRITIES ARE MUZOS
My Maori mom is so cute. She is never impressed by celebrities as a rule. Three she even talked about over the last three years have been, Brooke Fraser and Bono who she saw in concert live in New Zealand.
Recently she met Jason Kerrison of the Kiwi band OpShop. She says she liked his korero (chat) with her. Kerrison had moved to Northland, New Zealand and built a new home as he says he feels much safer in the North, to create and do his music. I explained to mom that Kerrison is a reality TV series judge with UB40‘s Ali Campbell and Kiwi fashion icon Rachel Hunter on the TV show New Zealand’s Got Talent. Mom was like, whose Ali Campbell? Lol!
Mom is also a big fan of singer-songwriter Joel Houston too, only because she knew his grandparents well. Only Joel’s quiet ballad songs mom likes though. Ironically, Bono’s and U2‘s raucus rocker songs, mom quite likes.
Her favorite U2 song is Beautiful Day.
