Tayari's Blog: Bring Back The Funk In Music!

It's 4:09am, and I am just back from the Brand New Heavies concert at the 930 Club in DC. I have Kamilah Aisha Moon as my blogging co-pilot. We're too overwhelmed to blog the old-fashioned way, so we are just going to have a little chit-chat about the miracle that is the Heavies.

Tayari: Isha, was that hot or what?
Isha: Yeah, they brought it hard.
Tayari: Word.
Isha: What was your favorite part of the show?
Tayari: I liked the part when they sang, danced, played instruments, etc.
Isha: Me, too. The show was tighter than Susan Taylor's cornrows.
Tayari: It's almost 4:30 in the morning, we need to go to bed. Where's the towel I swiped from the stage? I need to spread it on my pillow.
Isha: Did that towel belong to sexy Andrew, the one on the bass? Or was it Simon's? He's adorable. I know it couldn't be N'dea's. She's too gorgeous to sweat.
Tayari: Don't worry about that. All you need to know about this towel is that it's mine.

Way to swipe that towel, you Groupie!

You brought back a crazy memory for me! My friends and I got into a big fight over a towel thrown into the audience by Ice-T at a 1988 rap fest concert...

Glad you only had to swipe that towel, and not kick some tail for it!! (But I know you would have, LOL!)

Glad you had a good time, Groupie!!

Hey girl,
you know this is cracking me up. Let me know if you want to catch that 10/31 show. I saw Alice Coltrane, and she was captivating mystical, to say the least. I'ma call you.
