Live 8
I'll be attending the Live 8 Concert this weekend in Philadelphia. I'm pretty excited about it too. Some of my friends & I will be driving up to Philly tomorrow evening and staying overnight for Saturday's events. I'm excited to see Stevie Wonder, Linkin Park & Chris Tucker. It's free too, so that makes me even more excited.
[edit 7/1/05] I just realized that Sarah McLachlan is going to be there as well. I want to see her too. I wonder is Jay Z is going to perform with Linkin Park.
Bon Jovi is going to perform. Have I ever mentioned that I was an undercover Bon Jovi fan? Yep...it was in the second & third grade. I had to keep my obsession on the DL (as Byron would say...no homo) because it wasn't cool for little black girls like myself to like white boy rockers back in the 80s. I'm liberated now...I can admit that I was in love with Jon Bon Jovi.
I'll take pictures of The Dave Matthews Band for my homey JoiDoe...umm...I think that's it. [/edit]
There is one thing that's making me want to change my mind about going. That is the huge crowd that's gonna be in Philly that day. It is estimated that about 1 million people will show up for the concerts. THAT'S ALOT OF PEOPLE! I hate huge crowds. It's gonna be hot & muggy too.
I'm sure I'll be ok. I just pray that the negros don't start cuttin up. Ya'll know we can get ignant in crowds and large functions.

as far as large crowds with an abundance of ign'ant people... well, my white butt can't say too much about that, 'cept: yep. crowds bring out thee most ignorant, obnoxious, bullying people. i wrote a bit about it on gabi's site 'cuz... why do it on my own site?

and who the heck deceived you?
...must've been that blue-eyed Devil.
i'm sorry. i just think it's funny. even my picture is white. (yeah, i'm not six years old with spiky blond hair, pullin' little girls' ponytails out, but still, you'd think i'd pick huey from the boondocks - obvious ripoff/homage of calvin - if it were any other way.)
i do sound white. i don't have that timbre of voice that black men have and that i - with my nasally whiny voice - envy.
so... is that the bus driver man? c'mon. tell us.

You're part Porta reefa?...wow...that's interesting.
People say that I sound "white"...I don't think that I do...but that's just what they say...
Yes. It's Mr. Bus Driver Guy.

Big crowds suck, but don't let that stop you from going. Hello. Stevie Wonder. Eh, boo to Linkin Park. LoL. Have fun and make sure you take pictures of Stevie Wonder and email them to me. I'm dead serious. :P

i just come to say, i love you
and i mean it
from the bottom of my heart
stevie's early to mid-70's cannot be topped. period. but he was showing his over-sentimentality even back then ('village ghetto land' anybody?). and then he went over the top, way over.
but him still doing his hits, uhhh. yeah. i remember him singing 'love's in need of love today' with take 6 for that 9/11 benefit. nice.
still one of my favorite singer/songwriter/singers/keyboardists/drummers.
but don't take a picture for me. he ain't that sexy.
'as', by the way, is gonna be my wedding song.
