Manolo Takes The Midnight Train To Georgia

I really don't listen to music so I have never been much of a concertgoer. Last night, some friends of mine had an extra ticket to see Gladys Knight at the Hard Rock Casino. To be honest, I only said yes because it was killing two birds with one stone. First of all, I hadn't seen them in a long time so it was a nice excuse to see them and I had nothing else to do. In fact, until I got to the concert and met up with my friends, I really had no idea who she was until they mentioned a couple of her songs.

I have to tell you that after last night, I am a huge fan. The concert was super short (only an hour long) but what it lacked in length was eclipsed by quality itself. From the front row seats themselves to her voice, the song selection and audience interaction, it was a magnificent show. That woman is a true diva...you should take some lessons, Evil!

I downloaded her whole music catalog so next time I go karaoking in NYC with my peeps (peeps/pips - did anyone catch it?) everyone should move aside for my award winning rendition of Midnight Train To Georgia. I don't think another perfect score of a 100 is far from the realm of possibility.
