Spaceship Named Jane



Let's just say I had a better angle. Yee Yee!
Glow in the Dark Opening Night in Seattle \
N*E*R*D - hella on point!!!!!!! new shit: anti, spazz, everyone nose--bomb. synesthetic visuals. definately rockin like they do from now on. (still wanted to hear 'kill joy' though. lmao @ the fob term). "People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed." - Pharrell
Intro/Concept - "searchin the universe for creativity..." this dude's way off this earth and he knows it. good lookin out for us dreamers. great flow from song to song (worked out like a story).
Stage/Visuals/Effects - 11/10. if i was a stage designer, i wouldnt have done much different.
Performance - Kanye was the only person on stage for the whole 90 minute set (no breaks either)... that says something. Loved how he made everyone say "im sky high" and all that other good motivational stuff (15-20 times over and over again).

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

He knows that only the greatest people make other people feel like they can be great too. Im getting the feeling he understands that when you spread your wealth (non-material or material) around, you get even more back. I know I hella sound groupie right now, but I dont know of any other rapper/artist (off the top of my head) that tries this hard to influence other people to chase their dreams so sincerely. Sure, some musicians donate money and raise awareness for things, but it doesn't always affect everybody. But when you're talking about dreams and potential--that's something everyone has. The idea of changing the world through individual advances in character, instead of spending millions and trillions of dollars on short-term fixes is without a doubt MUCH more effective in solving some of our problems right now. Much respect to West & N.E.R.D

WOW essay. Anyway, they needa put this out on DVD.
