Let’s not forget that the Martin Luther King Concert Series, the largest free concert series in the Metropolitan area, is produced by Debby Garcia, one of the Park Slope 100. Way to go, Debbie.
JAh!!!!!
Give her a chance somethings r just hard to work out by themselves, and sometimes take longer to heal. I think what evre happened in the past years will soon come to an end; if I think she’s the kind of sista that I think she is, everything will be ” IRE”.
Peace and Love!!!!!!
wow..speaking of the lauren hill concert in the park last eve.. forget the fact that she was scheduled at 7:30 and didn’t come on till a little after 10; which was expected, but she sounded like she smoked a pack of camel unfiltered and drank a half a fifth. I saw lauren in 1997, pre-Miseducation and she was phenomenal; thats what i expected last night. dont get me wrong there were flares of genius (her version of Nina Simone’s Sinnerman, and zion), but other than that she was all over, introducing this kind of afro jazz funk that was reminiscent of phish or the grateful dead. i am still more forgiving then the rest of the audience who began to leave after the first song. i still love her for her work on miseducation and hope she can remain sane enough to make good music post rohan and being a self-indulgent diva.
