With the release of Nas's newest album, Life is Good, I, along with a lot of other people, was surprised to hear an album that was actually really good. I felt like the album as a whole was paying homage to the sound the propelled him to fame, all while keeping current on the lyrics that has made Nas a hip hop legend.

Raphael Saadiq was a smooth well polished performer who’s music fit perfectly for a summer night in the park.
As the headliner for this year’s second Twilight concert, Saadiq, brought with him a whole stage of passionate performers that included pianos, drums, horns and backup singers. Each artist meshed well together, but also got their own chance to shine as they showed the crowd what they could do in between Saadiq’s popular hits. Between it raining all day, and this being the first Twilight Concert to charge admission, I assumed the crowd would be smaller than it was. Unfortunately there was still a heavy mix of drunks, d-bags and people who couldn’t care less about the music. The award of the night definitely goes to a group of guys wearing camo shorts and basketball jerseys. One of them had a statue of liberty hat on, and at one point started spraying people with a can of silly string while his drunken friend made out with a fat girl. I should have snapped a photo.
Today is the first concert of the 2012 Twilight Concert Series. For anyone who does not know the Twilight Concert Series brings an amazing line up of bands each year to come play in downtown Salt Lake City.
Omne Trium Perfectum is Latin for everything that comes in threes is perfect. Many times in my life change has come in multiples, and I have always figured that if the universe wants you to pay attention to something you will get several chances at it.
Recently this principle manifested itself in my life in a strange way when I began to be constantly bombarded by the legendary hip-hop artist Nas. |
