I watched 20 Feet From Stardom– a documentary about backup singers and became particularly interested in Claudia Lennear- an Ikette and rumored inspiration of “Brown Sugar”

I’m going to miss this place
You weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, but they had the most incredible art exbitit pairing so called Degerate Art alongside the art approved by Hitler and the Nazis
I looked art art along with actress Frances McDormand

More art on the street
Another major reason I went ahead and got myself to New York was the fact that Brenda’s band, North Highlands, was going to play their last show ever
I’ve never gotten to see them, so I had to be there. They killed it, even David Byrne thought so
I never knew parting would be such sorrow New York. I hope we see each other soon
The fortunes we received before venturing out for the night

Seeing as how I have yet to be able to see Prince live, I decided to go do the next best thing- Go to see Princess- Maya Rudolph’s Prince cover band


The whole thing made me realize how badass Sacramento and the Halloween show is- where instead of merely being cover bands we try to become those people for the night. I wanted Maya to channel Prince a little more, but hey- there is only one Prince.
“Of course America has royalty- we have Prince”
