I was at the BET taping on Monday right up on the end platform of the stage but you were literally walking around and taking DC cabs in my neighborhood and I didn't see you because I was in the house cleaning watching the festivities...it was REALLY REALLY COLD! You put on a great show and I asked Terrence and Muhsinah to tell you I said hello. Now you tell me...did they tell you?? ;-) Love the blog videos! Dude… are you serious Common?

Many of my family members grew up during the Jim Crow era and it was a blessing to have me attend this historic event in their absence. As I listened to his speech, I was amazed at how his words moved people from different backgrounds; they were cheering and crying, while hanging on to his every word. It was cold and brisk outside, yet a beautiful moment in history that would warm our hearts and leave us with a story for the future generation. The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart. ~ Maya Angelou Hi Common and fellow bloggers,
