simma don nah!
i went to the save the music concert last night with a gimpin (less pimpin) matty. performing was alicia keys, john legend, rob thomas, robert randolph, josh groban, joss stone, rod stewart and donna summer. it was great - i was able to learn so much. for instance, i didn't know that not only was josh groban fluent in melodic italian, but he also rocks out (as much as a light opera singer can) on the drums. ok, i'm not giving him enough credit here - he's a pretty good drummer. another revelation - heidi klum is vapid. sorry matty, but i knew from her project runway show that she's no master orater, but this was pathetic. i'm not being i-hate-her-because-she's-skinny-and-gorgeous-ly unkind, i know a few guys who will attest to that fact (and they'll subsequently qualify their statement with a "but she's totally hot"). also, rob thomas is totally awkward without his band. he can't dance - and it looked like his part was choreographed too. he sings marginally well, but he was suffering from "i wear my sunglasses at night" (and inside for that matter) syndrome... so sad. furthermore, joss stone is a british ditz - but i still think she's amazingly talented - and alicia keys gives great live performances. she and john legend should get married. then they can have ridiculously good looking musical genius babies. finally, rod stewart is actually made of wax and donna summer shops at strawberry (circa 1997). oh yeah, i also learned a new word that i will anachronistically continue to abuse (ha!). whew. my brain hurts.
anyway, watch the show this sunday night (april 17) on vh1. i won't be on tv because the camera crane couldn't reach the nosebleed section. but watch it anyway.
save the music is a great cause that funds music education programs in schools. learn more at http://www.vh1.com/shows/events/save_music/2005/foundation.jhtml

i'm not sure which is worse. you for having a blog. or me for sitting here for the past 15 minutes reading every entry. i'd have to say me because i'm not getting paid for my time. damn.
consolation, i was mildly entertained. erica, you could have a great show where a camera follows you around. nothing is said, except your inner monologue is played throughout. mexcellent.
Er, blogging. Hm, this is good. In fact I rejoice in Er's blog, free access to internet at work, and the flexibility of the Mac screen in aiding and abetting my wastage of (timeandahalf, no less) time!
Also, I think even your inner voice has gone quite metro.
