Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Oh wow... that does suck! I'm slightly taken back by this... damnit man.. just damnit!
We all are in the same place.
...So I'll share this story...
Circa 2010. Michael Jackson had died, I just moved in to where I live with a cute grad student in divinity school (she's now my ex, of course). Her grandmother had the "winning touch", where should could call in on live radio shows that were giving away tickets and win every time. She won use tickets to the Prince concert in the fall that year in NJ as a Xmas gift.
Man, it was standing room only. Lala Hathaway and Esmeralda Spaulding opened for Prince. They killed it. Absolutely killed it. Both ladies were awesome, his background singers were stellar and Prince when it was his turn brought each out for an individual set. What was amazing was that he sung mostly "early Prince", so much of it I didn't know as I was a casual Prince listener growing up. What made the concert even more memorable was that the crowd were made up of true Prince fans and they knew the words to all the early Prince songs he performed. I had some phone back then and took a pic of the stage...I saw the picture recently and if I find it, I'll share it.
Great concert. Great artist. Great true musician - he will be missed.
