Can't say a whole lot about this show. Unfortunately, I was not well and we had to leave about an hour into things. It was one of those nights where I was determined to ignore my illness until it got to the point that I could no longer enjoy myself.
Fortunately, he who endures my madness was completely understanding. After a quick stop at Rite Aid, I took a shot of sleepy cold medicine and was long knocked out before arriving home.
Guess I'm not much of a rock star after all.

Meshell Ndegeocello has so many ways of getting through to you. She's an utterly sublime bassist who can seamlessly cover the waterfront of jazz, funk and soul before floating off into pure psychedelia. She's an enchanting vocalist who can soothe with her tone while startling you with her frank yet poetic lyrics. She's bold enough to stand her ground against her former champion, Madonna, and flexible enough to have collaborated with John Mellencamp, Basement Jaxx, The Rolling Stones and The Blind Boys of Alabama. From the soul-deep entreaties of her 1993 debut album, Plantation Lullabies, to the spaced-out jazz-reggae idylls on her latest release, Comet, Come to Me, Ndegeocello always manages to be confrontational and fearless, even as her music shape-shifts through various layers of dreamy hypnosis.
