I spent a lot of time in the Philippines, including Angles City near Clark AFB.

I can tell you that the live music scene in the early/late '80's there was spectacular.

Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay

My remark was on the Crystal Palace not Angles City in general, a place I've never been to.

You can claim the Crystal Palace is a live music venue, but that's not what the websites show at all - sorry.

At least you have done all that research you need to write a really interesting book with believable characters. ;)

On Thursday the students came dressed as their favourite book character.

Good thing none of them dressed up like one of those characters in the book about the Crystal Palace. :D

Oh wait, there is a C.O.P. in the back to pick up his graft payment.

But hey, the live music was awesome back in the day.

I am amused about the comments about the bars and associated "support" around the bases we had in the P.I. Olongapo City next to Subic Bay Naval Base and Angeles City outside Clark were small and regular cities until America moved in. The Airforce men and women were a lot lower key than the Navy "animals" since they were there all the time so there were fewer bars with the girls and bands and that famous San Miguel beer. On the other hand Subic was more like a ghost town until a carrier and it's escorts came in and really stand by if TWO carrier would pull in! You are looking at close to 12,000 men (few women then) who wanted to blow off steam! Beer went from 1 peso to 5 pesos, "Monkey Meat" went from about a peso to 3 or 4 or 5 depending on how many little grills the girls had. There would be so many baby ducks dropped into the famous alligator in front of the Sapango (not sure???) that it would eat it's fill and sleep for days! The bar girls would come from everywhere, for example a secretary in Manila would make $5 a day, in Subic they could pull in $200 a night or more. The smart ones would save their money and buy a house in the country or a small business such as clothing shop, shoe repair OR go to school and get certified as a nurse. Just inside the main gate of Subic there was the "Marriage Office" and there would be a line there starting at day break until closing time to get all the necessary paperwork to get married and move with all their relatives to Alameda CA or Long Beach or San Diego. The results of this is still seen with all the older nurses in many San Diego area hospitals who still have their P.I. accent. Of course all this is "hear say" as I never went out there in town and stayed a "cherry boy" until I got married!

Gadsden flag

Adopted
1778

Design
A yellow banner charged with a coiled rattlesnake facing towards the hoist, the words "DONT TREAD ON ME" positioned below the snake.

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the rattlesnake are the words "DONT TREAD ON ME."[note 1] The flag is named after American general and politician Christopher Gadsden (1724–1805), who designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag, along with the Moultrie flag.

The second flag depicted is the Battle flag of Forrest's Cavalry Corps, 1863–65.
