Once a man was a big fan of Brigitte Bardot ( BB). So his wife tatoed for the birthday of her husband one B on her lefft butt, and another B on her right but. When the birthday was there she undressed and bent over to show her tatoo present.
The man was waching.....and said.....BOB? BOB? who the f**k is BOB??
Ok now I've heard Manitas, never heard it before and never want to hear it again.
Seriously that was the worst flamenco air I have ever heard. What the hell was that it wasn't even music eggggggggg ha hhah hh crapp.
No wonder people cringe when his name is mentioned. Sorry man I havn't said anything so mean in a long time, but that was really really bad in all ways that it could be bad. He is an ugly ****er too.
Do flamenco guitar players mob this guy if he comes in to town.
Beam me up scotty theres no intelligent life on this planet.
That was entertaining to say the least though Todd. Thanx now I know not to buy anything from that guy.

Actually Manitas has a great tone from time to time that is really hard to describe, but is very captivating IMO. It's definitely not Andalucian Flamenco though.
Yes BB, a young BB. The guitarist to the 'S. Trop/jetset set'. M. de P. Picasso named him the greatest guitarist or something like that. Looks like early 1970's.
I was madly in love with my fantasy of Brigitte Bardot when I was 18 and she was 19. The opening scene of "And God Created Woman" was a lingering, minute exploration of the detailed geography of her 19-year old nude body. Heady stuff for the mid-1950s. Thirty-odd years later I drove down from Santa Barbara to see a screening of a restored print at the Directors' Guild in Hollywood. After the film someone read a short piece by the pioneering French feminist Simone de Beauvoir. She said Bardot was interesting because she refused to be simply a sex object. Despite her enormous sensuality and sexual magnetism, she always made you see her as a person in every film.
Yes. In "And god Created woman", despite intentionally and calculatedly destroying the lives of three brothers with her irresistible sexual attraction, she made you see that she was doing it almost out of fear, to protect herself. To protect herself not so much from the brothers, any one of whom would have married her and devoted his life to her. Not to protect herself from the brothers' parents, who took her into their house as an act of charity. But to protect herself, almost in retrospect, from the exploitation she had suffered just a few years before.
Would I have stooped to playing like Manitas to charm the pants off Bardot? When I was 18, in a New York minute! Make that a New York second!
But others say that taking on Manitas as a boyfriend for a while was of a piece with her campaign for kindness to animals.
I also like Brigitte Bardot. There is smth sad about it though ....seen her a couple of years ago when she came to Bucharest (she is into animal rights now ...and she was defending the rights of the dogs that wonder through Bucharest cause they wanted them to "euthanize" them(they wanna get rid of all them ...they are too many and some people have been bitten)) Anyway ,gee .. 50 years can ruin a beauty ..that's kind of sad.There was one funny moment then , when the mayor said to her smth like "Well ,dreams really come true.. " Anyway,in the light of all this ...i'm really optimistic about meeting angelina jolie !
My friend's dad, a British actor went to Hollywood however his career was cut short when he slept with the director's wife, Bridget Bardot, whereupon he was told he would never work in that town again. He said it was worth it :)
The look on her face is classic. She looks like she can barely keep her clothes on halfway through
its not so much what he does with the guitar, as it is where his foot is
Its the first trick they teach u in the Manitas academy, is right up there with in a live performance find the prettiest girl in the crowd and pretend that the rest of the audience is not even there, just ignore them and make them feel uncomfortable for intruding on your time with this girl
I am just trying to picture other guitarists doing that with a girl and i am amusing myself,
Imagine Paco Cepero making those faces at a girl Or Ricardo Nunez (poor girl would have had nightmares) Or Vicente, i think in this case Vicente would push her back cause shes messing up his hair

Nothing wrong with his playing. There are better players sure, but this wasnt bad at all...ok maybe a little.
