So, I bought my parents James Brown tix for Xmas... The legend was scheduled to play in my city on January 10th. I didn't know that he died when my parents were given the tickets. I hadn't been online or watched TV for a couple days. Then I gave them to my parents excitedly and my mom said... "but he's dead!". I didn't believe her because she's been wrong about that before with other performers. So I laughed at her.
Then everyone else in the room told me the same thing, and I could tell they weren't lying. Should I have laughed or cried? I cried. Now I've bought them replacement tickets to a B.B. King concert in May. He's like, 80. My fingers are crossed that he makes it.  . Cross your fingers too."Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

Everyone else thought it was pretty funny too.
It's time to laugh again. I must be strong.     "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal" - Carl Sagan | |
