Whip MY hair...

When I was in college or just recently graduated the song 'Too Little, Too Late' was  all over the airwaves.  It was a song by JoJo who I think was maybe 12...possibly 13.  But seriously readers, her lyrics spoke to me and many other women much much older than 13.  Now we have a new selection by a delightful tween who sums it up pretty good.  "Don't let haters keep me off my grind.  Keep my head up I know I'll be fine.  Keep fighting until I get there.  When I'm down and I feel like giving up I think again"
  Truth: Wisdom comes at any age.  Second truth:  The way people behave in middle school (the tween age) is just a base line for how they will behave for the rest of their life.  I'm really starting to believe that second truth.  Not to say that people can't change.  They absolutely can but it's difficult and most people prefer to remain in their comfort zone.

  Speaking of comfort zones, I recently attended a concert that did EVERYTHING IN IT'S POWER to transcend people's comfort zones.  Far far away from the world of Willow Smith (which I'm just realizing is a bizarre name play on her father's name) exists Of Montreal.  A great band I definitely recommend checking out but definitely not for the conservative minded or faint hearted.  The lead man, Kevin Barnes, is an according to my brother a straight man.  I'd like to add with homosexual tendencies even though after this show I think he might just be done to experience whatever life brings.  Here are some photos: 

The beginning...

I think this when the Sunshine people came out.

Gold body suits are totally rad and I think I helped them make those sun heads in my classroom on Friday.

Janelle Monae is BOSS!!

Sometimes you just gotta ride away on your people rhino.

When it was all said and done I was entertained, heard good music, but also felt as if I had attended a higher budget GSP theater show.  (I have no idea if any of my readers know what GSP theater is, it's the low-budget theater group I was involved with in college).  Even at NYU there had to be a band of drama misfits that didn't apply to Tisch and couldn't even get accepted to the College of Arts and Sciences until Junior year...but I digress.

 The show was so bizarro out there I thought: "This must be what doing acid is like."  Because truth 3: I've never done acid.  But I imagine Kevin Barnes has and that is when he created this show.  The overall goal was to make people a little uncomfortable.   I whip my hair at people who can't transcend their comfort zone.  Does that mean that I'm comfortable making other people uncomfortable?  I guess I need to start behaving very normal in order to make myself take things to the next level.  Ok Haterzz here I go....
