Feb 19, 2008 - LOS ANGELES, LA -- This year's 5th annual Roots Jam Session proved to be the best escape from traditional industry parties. The 4-hour jam packed out Sunset Boulevard's famous Key Club with the backbone of the industry -- managers, publicists, agents, celebrities and the evening's centerpiece, the Grammy Award winning band, THE ROOTS. The annual experience, occurring each year the night before the Grammys, teamed up with ROCK THE VOTE as they celebrated their 18th anniversary and an individual's right to choose -- all with a theme displayed large on a Sunset Blvd billboard hanging above the venue: Let your VERSE be heard ... Let your VOICE be heard ... Let your VOTE be heard ... Let your ROOTS be heard.


Since January, young people flooded the polls, proving they are the driving force behind the 2008 Presidential election and this night was evidence -- many spent the evening in debate over the present political scene while all spent the evening indulging in their passion for music versus competing for celebrity. The Jam Session was highlighted with a knockout drum off between ?uestlove and Travis Barker, The Roots and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump's version of "Walking on the Moon", and impromptu performances from Seal, Corrine Bailey Rae, Raheem DeVaughn, Eric Balfour's Born as Ghosts, as well as a Doug E. Fresh and American Idol's Blake Lewis' beatbox session underneath MC Lyte.

High-profile attendants including his Highness Prince, Missy Elliot, Raven-Symone, Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Bilal, Jurnee Smollett, Nia Long, Solange Knowles, Ryan Phillipe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Goapele, Sanaa Lathan, Will.I.Am and Brian Michael Cox, among many others -- were all seen partying the night away until 4am.

Besides the amazing pairings of musical genius which this night has become known for -- this year's social action cause and presenting partner, Rock the Vote integrated into the night with touch screens (http://www.runtriz.com/) displayed throughout the venue, allowing attendants to not only register to vote, but also voice their opinions on the issues that are most important to them (environment was number one, followed closely by the economy and then education), as well as celebrate the history of both Rock the Vote and the Roots with an interactive timeline. The entire night was once again produced by Tina Farris of Goodtime Girl Entertainment and Kevin Seldon of Keldof (keldof.com/). Title partners also included Zazzle and Wrigley's Doublemint.

For 18 years, Rock the Vote has fused celebrity and politics in an effort to inspire, engage and mobilize a generation to action. Rock the Vote gives young people the tools to identify, learn about, and take action on the issues that affect their lives and leverage their power in the political process. Rock the Vote is creative, effective, and controlled by nobody's agenda but their own -- they tell it like it is and pride themselves on being a trusted source for information on politics.

however where the what is this place? looks like a right grotty old dive - real spit & sawdust..& looks they've sat baby in the corner

lottielooloo1968 said:

Yeah, I thought the same, the fake woodwork - faux leather seating - very 1970's style - maybe it's 'retro', ha ha! yucky!

prime said:

Oh, thanks Prime - who's 'Trevor' then? Someone mentioned him on HQ?

Jeffiner said:

Prince is slumming.

Heiress said:

Maybe getting inspiration for his new album.....?!!!

Heiress said:

Looks a right shit hole

3121 said:

You might not wanna go there....if anyone can show you what a shit hole looks like it's the .org crew and it might scar you for life.

I wonder what it feels like to shit at a club and know you could take home 3/4 of the women in the room by just saying "U coming"? Just to shit there and know you could buy this place if I wanted to....

Prince's life looks lonely sometimes but man it would be fun...

prime said:

Q: Would u really WANT a woman that would come with U at the drop of a hat?

Graycap23 said:

Me??? NO because I am married to the love of my life but

Trust me ... the girls he is taking home are not at the same clubs we would be at... I think you know what I mean ... nik pickie

prime said:

Lol.....I'd be at that club.

prime said:

At first, I thought it´s just a typo but then, you wouldn´t have typed it twice that way, right ?

KoolEaze said:

I was typing so fast because of the baby ... I feel so embarrassed.... I meant to type sit ... Man ... I don't even swear...

Good catch

prime said:

yes but thats because 3/4 of women these days have no dignity.

whitewidow said:

prime said:

Yeah, he's into T-girls

QuietSeven said:

oo yeah.. it sure does, even in his vengeance, jealousy, hatred and fear, it just keeps shining on through.

i'm fucking dazzled by his desperate need to be top dog.

QuietSeven said:

u should b called quiet right!
some the best nights out i ever had were in very questionable venues! lets face it, after a few drinks, in a darkened club, great music & mad dancing who notices the grot!
great memories from student dayz...

prime said:

I bet it gets boring after a while..... maybe....

whitewidow said:

Is it just me, whitewidow, or do your thoughts on Prince veer madly between two extremes?

Jeffiner said:

not at all. i am capable of holding many extreme thoughts about prince in my mind at one time lol, i do not veer, nor do i have a 1 track mind.

i am also especially pleased with my spectacular ability to express multi-thoughts simultaneously and remain completely sane.

but i digress. bi-polar i am not. exceptionally cerebrally gifted i am! even if i cant spell.

God Bless his lollipop sucking lips and i'll even send some love to the snake sitting next to him. you can tell lachlan or london or whatever his name is is a creep by his energy in the pho toe.

Prince looks vacant as usual but i wont hold that against him.

Thanks for asking!

QuietSeven said:

yep, like the places i play, haha!

Jeffiner said:

After years and years ... YUP Especially the way he does it…sitting upstairs (a lot of times by himself). Puffy and a lot of the other folks go out to the dance floor and kick it but he doesn’t. He sits up in the VIP area and play pool and just watch.

I guess I shouldn't have added the women part but I was trying to make a point of being rich and being able to have fun with out worrying...you know? Jump on a plane and take the family somewhere and not worry about the bill....
