Birth of an 'Anthem'

 B.A.D.A.F. Forever

Before there were boy bands... there was Charing.

Out of the blue one day in 1980, my brother Rene and I (inspired by Julie Diego, our flamboyant 'gaysha' production assistant) decided to produce a gay band as a counterpoint to the then popular Hagibis.

Bong, Jet, Leslie and Tom quadrupled their male admirers/prospects.

A gold record was mined. 

An anthem was born. 

(And Hagibis got pissed off big time.)
