I Still Love H.E.R

I swear...since I saw the movie YES MAN with Jim Carrey (I HATE GOING TO THE MOVIES!!!), I have stopped being such a F*n hermit. People aren't that bad after all. Interesting what happens when you get over the grieving process, past hurts and other foolishness. I am almost a happy camper these days.

I love music. It is a soothing agent in the world that I live. On the in-class activity, I stated that I like listening to music. I decided to follow through on this and go see a play/musical about the history of hip-hop, I Still Love H.E.R. Actually, this was supposed to happen a couple of weeks ago. Since I am of an age to remember when it was good, I was really interested in seeing what the director had to say about the subject. I was not disappointed. Clearly the director, a young guy in his late 20's, had done his homework about the origins of hip-hop. He also correctly stated that not all of it was misogynistic and woman unfriendly. Blah, blah, blah...I had a great time. the show was interactive. I was singing and dancing and the whole nine. It was cool knowing all the words to the songs they played (I grew up on most of it). The thing that bothered me was the play was set in Chicago, the title resembled closely a song that tells the story of hip-hop (written by a Chicago MC), and the song WAS NOT played. I have gone through the trouble of posting the youtube video for those who read this blog and don't know the song that I am talking about.
