• Mos Def will be unleashing his brilliance upon the Nation's Capitol. Though I feel that if he got Cornrow Wallace to open for him, the night would be even better... prr prrrr.

• My sweet sexy baby Common will also be in town, leaving those crocheted pants to collect dust, in his hope chest. I wonder how he feels about his ex-boo being the Baby Momma to baby up ... yea I said it, what?

• Straight from her 'A Change Is Gonna Come', pre inauguration performance with John Bon Jovi, where I thought they were gonna show you just how change was a comin'.. by the end with a cougar / hair paste, tongue rastle, Ms. Bettye LaVette. Speaking of which. I need you people to watch her performance at the Kennedy Honors. SIMPLY STUNNING! http://www.bettyelavette.com/

  Ralphael Saadiq is on the calendar too, GREAT new cd btw. But, hell, I'm still waiting for a Lucy Pearl reunion. Sigh, reminds me of the time one of the Tony's tried to holla at me. I can't remember if it was the 'y!, 'i!, or 'e'!, though. Gah, the '90's rocked!
