I’m currently in Salt Lake City, Utah for a conference and though I mentioned that I would be 2,000 miles away for the week my mother phoned the other day to ask when I’d be returning. Sunday, I replied.
“Oh. Well Obama is doing this fundraiser at the Apollo tomorrow night and I have an extra ticket since no one else could go but if you’re not going to be back then you can’t go”
“Uh….thanks?”
So she went to the Apollo and spent the first hour telling me all of the things she would tweet if she were on Twitter:
- Apollo, India, Al, Barack — Absolutely Amazing!
- India Arie just came into the audience to hug Roberta Flack.
Shortly thereafter my aunt sent me a message saying “Thought you would appreciate this”:
Fun, right?
This morning I woke up to this:
There’s the comparisons to President Clinton on Arsenio playing the sax of course but it’s so refreshing to see a President goof around and show off their other talents. It almost makes them ‘real’, if you know what I mean. I found it absolutely charming. Also, I think singing Al Green to a bunch of supporters at the Apollo Theater is a great way to get your base back. But that’s just me.
In the News: The President has some pipes
