So Patti Labelle was alright. No long note holding and taking us to church. She just sang. I don’t know if it was because she was old or cold. Yea, this wasn’t an awards show Patti performance. Most people didn’t even get up out of their seats. I’m glad I went though…James brown will not happen again. The Hollywood Bowl is a good venue, but it was getting chilly out there. Some Disco Fever concert is coming with Chic and the Village People and some other 70’s people. Ooh and Natalie Cole is coming too. I need more discretionary income. I’d go see Natalie Cole, the Disco people and Hall & Oats on GP. Oats looks like a molester or something. He has always struck me as spooky. Maxwell is coming again. When I first heard the commercial last night I was all excited, but now that I’ve slept on it I don’t see how this show is going to be much different from his show in November. Not enough time has passed.
Spike Lee is hosting a Mike Birthday Party in Brooklyn. I want to go, but flying to NYC just may not be in the budget right now. I wish that life were a little bit easier for me. How do you go on after such a loss? Like, I’m living, working, and even praying, but I still struggle. I don’t even want to feel anymore. I wish I were a cyborg.
Back to Patti…when she first came out singing A New Attitude it seemed promising…then the hawk swooped and she started murmuring like a Jackson. She has someone bring her some more clothes. She sang Walk Around Heaven All Day and that made me cry. She gave a shout out to the homies who ain’t here no mo. Any time someone says Mike’s name I get butterflies. She said Farrah Fawcett and I was wondering why. I forgot what Luther died of. Man, she seems lonely. Her mom, dad and three sisters all passed and she’s divorced. Divorced ain’t the biggie, but it would suck to be the last one left out of your immediate family. Dunno if she has any brothers.
