WICKED!

So I finally checked out Wicked this weekend. And it was...GREAT! Now wait, I didn't love the songs as much as I loved the songs from the Color Purple but to be honest the Color Purple is engrossed in the ways of my culture. So of course those rhythms sounded better to me, however I really enjoyed Wicked.

The storyline was really interesting and makes the Wizard of Oz look like a half ass told story. Also the things they were able to do live on stage is amazing. I've never seen a show with some many visual effects. It of course gets four stars from me but folks have been saying that for years. I'm just one of the last to become hip.

Who knew a story so innocent as the Wizard of Oz could be turned into something so Wicked in the mad real world.

Jill Scott Rocks Chicago

My sisters and I went to go see Jill Scott perform at this charitable event tonight and that woman tore the house down. I've never been so happy to see a "celebrity" before. Like a punk ass I almost...almost cried. I was just that happy to be in the same room with the woman I've listened to and admired for years.

The harmonies, the music, the vibe were all perfect except for this dude who kept hollerin out that Jill was about to make him nut his pants. GROSS!! Get a room buddy, he of course got cussed out and told to "shut the fuck up!" Anyway I can stop smiling and I can't wait till she comes back!

She has turned this fan into a fanatic in the mad real world.
