Martin, Pops, and Ashton Kutcher

This post is kind of delayed, so let me get it off my system before it becomes old news.

I read in the paper some weeks ago about some sort of "reunion concert," a Martin-and-Pops reunion concert to be exact. And now for the punchline: Martin-Pops reunion concert to be produced by Jomari Yllana.

Now what the hell is Jomari Yllana doing in the equation? This is actually akin to saying that Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are coming up with a new movie produced by Ashton Kutcher.

First of all, what is the point of Jomari producing the concert? Was he ever involved in concert productions before? What does he know of producing concerts?

Or, better yet, is this just another marketing move, where people are supposed to drool over how civil it is of Jomari Yllana to produce the comeback concert for Pops and Martin? Come on, seriously? Will more people watch it if Jomari Yllana produced the concert? Give me a break.

If I was Jomari Yllana, fine, I'd be civil and all. I'd make small talk with Martin Nievera just for the sake of being civil. I don't know about you all, but I would NEVER produce a comeback concert for my new girlfriend and her ex-husband. But then again, that's just bitter old me.
