I've been quite busy this week, babies, work and one awesome evening with Prince. The greatest example of 'diversity' is attending a Prince concert, all ages, every shade of skin color possible and not a single fight or angry protestor was to be seen. For example, the woman sitting next to me was easily in her 80's, napped on occasion and after one very beautiful song the old lady grabbed my hand and shouted in my ear, "Praise Jesus! This is glorious day!" and then dozed off again.
When you go to a Prince concert be prepared to shake your ass, which I did, until the old ladies cane put me in a compromising position. I knew this was a magical night, the vibe was so accepting, tolerant and dare I say peaceful. The New Power Generation Band was tight that night, Prince's scrawny butt was tight too and at one point in the show he invited audience members to dance on stage and continued to show no prejudice, fat chicks with feather boa's, crazy white man dancer, sexy lil' slut, Hippie chick dancing some interpretive shit no one understood, but they were allowed to dance up there for as long as they wanted and they did.
Diversity and great music all brought to us by a tiny giant in the music industry. He made us briefly forget about the RNC, Elections and 'evil doers' out there mucking up our lives. Age, skin color and politics didn't dominate the evening, just a sassy brilliant black man with his guitar. I wouldn't say it was a religious experience, it was more an exciting spiritual connect, a connect to one human from another and the collective joy that music brings.
