Dont leave your loved ones in debt...we’re so glad we got
insured with blah blah and saved blah and get blah percent in blah and whatever
whatever the kicker here is when they say “age 18-65 to apply”
Like as soon as your 18 you have to think about dyeing and money. The christening for adulthood is basically financial agony.
And It’s bad enough we have to worry about money most of our lives. We even
have to worry about not worrying others about money when were dead. It’s a vicious
cycle. Saturday morning I looked at the bank and sang myself some Donna
Summers..
Actually I was singing Macklemoore’s Brad Pitts cousin
because that’s the first music video that came on rage when I was getting ready
for work. It was then in this groove infected moment I purchased my ticket.
T-12 hours till concert..
19:30 ... ARRIVING TO
THE ARENA.
Station and buss traffic were heavy and I juuussstttttt made
it on the train before the doors closed and I had to push this lady out of my
way and I regret nothing. My seat was ummm decent... But I had the end of the
row so I scurried down to an empty row.. I had to move not once.... not twice... nope third wasn’t the charm... it was my
seat for the opening song but ... by the fourth seat I had finally found the
one. The one that wasn’t actually someone else’s paid seat.
Being able to feel something from an artist through
headphones and music videos can be so powerful! Experiencing that power with 10,00
other music lovers , with the raw talent and emotion from the artist themselves,
is an experience beyond what words can articulate.
Macklemoore x Ryan Lewis are one of my favourite artists. Lyrically
authentic, fresh, irresistible, juicy.. Yes I’m eating cinnamon rolls while writing
this but let not my taste bud bias distract thou. The style and content of
their music is just an incredible manifold ,
flowing into topics from thrift shopping and over popularity of drug use
in rap music to body positivity and Mopeds!
His past experiences with drugs and alcohol are a big part
of the music as well. The honesty is what I think really resonates with
listeners. In between songs Macklemoore spoke to the crowd about funny travel
stories and his genuine gratitude for us all being there. Once specifically about
being “here” in life. “We’re always saying when we get there yeah then things
will be goooood. Next week, after this year of school, when I leave for that
vacation . That’s when. But what about now. We have to be happier with where
were at . Appreciate it in every situation.” He talked about peace, justice, fatherhood and
..
DONUTS. One epic moment after the song “let’s eat” he threw
donuts into the crowd and saved one very sprinkly very glazy donut. Selected
one very very far back (he said “it’s not fair only the front row gets a donut”)
dude in beige , hyped the crowd, wound up his throwing arm and _______ *insert
sound effect for the toss of a donut of such notability* AND THE DUDE
IN BEIGE CAUGHT IT.
“I don’t know what happened but I see a donut in that mans
hand, That deserves an award for the most athleticism shown at a hip hop
concert “
Not to mention involving a donut!!!!!!
I could either tangent off into the beauty of being
connected by music and delve into my soul for paragraphs upon nonsense upon
cramped fingers. Or I can end simply with
Last night was by far one of the best nights of my life.
