No one said a fucking thing while he spat verse that made my spinal column vibrate with cold electricity. The whole time I felt if the "kidz" can shut the fuck up for 45 minutes while this man stands by himself...and talks...and talks about America in a way I've been trying for the past 3 years to even start to articulate..about..err...if he can grab them like that, maybe there's some hope after all, for us, for the West, for Humans.

Going to Philly tonight, because I said I would. Right now, I'd rather sleep. Wishing the phone would ring and the voice on the other end would say, "If you're not into it, I can still hop on the bus.
Got your call in the middle of the show. Good night good morning.
