my fourth time last night in Cologne.

they're still the best. as always, a tight show, 2 1/2 hours of music non-stop (they have never cheated me out of my money). i love how they've gone all "rock", too. if you haven't ever seen them, go see them. and if you're not into hip hop, go see them anyway - you'll love it. forget about 2 decks and some poses - it's 100% live.

considering the current situation, The Legendary Roots Crew came correct. the show simply started with a full play of "War" by Edwin Starr, with everybody singing along for openers. midway through the guitarist (i forgot his name, but i recall him being introduced as someone from Living Color?) cut up the "Starspangled Banner" to 2000 peace-signs. the show ended with an incredible non-stop looping of Marvin Gaye singing

war is not the answer
war is not the answer
war is not the answer
war is not the answer

for what seemed like 10 minutes.

nuff said. now go see 'em.

peace. ngeso.

my, my, my - i'm a facken idiot! you know, Ray, i was at the back of the hall, cos the sound was pretty bad at the front, and he was wearing a big white cowboy hat, and he never said a thing, and when they mentioned Living Color, i thought "Vern Reid? - - - "Naaaaaaaaaaahhhh....."

IT WAS HIM!

Ray, ban me, NOW!
