• Tell the truth about Jamestown

    I was happy that ?uestlove of The Roots pointed out how ironic it was that they were there helping celebrate the founding of Jamestown. I thought that the whole time, too.

    I think it's very shameful that America is the product of European invasion. It's definitely a bittersweet celebration at best. I think it is more shameful than honorable. It almost makes me wonder if the money for celebrating would be better spent making up for the destruction that Americans propogate all around the world.
  • The Roots are off the hook!

    My wife and I went to the concert in Richmond, last night. The Roots were off the hook, man. They were better live than I ever imagined. And Kirk Douglas performed a song by Bob Dylan. That guy is an awesome guitarist.

    The tuba player was great too. I never saw a tuba in use by a hip-hop band before, but it added real natural bass to their sound. I wish there were more real hip-hop bands like The Roots.

    If I ever have the chance to go see them perform again, I'll gladly attend!

    The only problem I had with this concert was the fact that people crowded the stage once The Roots started performing. My wife and I got really close up 2 hours before the concert, yet people felt the need to push to the front and stand in front of us. I guess that's what you get at free concerts. We eventually stood and started enjoying the concert after getting over the initial anger over our space being invaded.
