They Say He’s A Gladiator….

Man, I’ve had such a great tour these past few months. A friend of mine, Gunnery Sergeant Edward Schrank,  came out on the road with us for a few days. Check out the message he wrote and the video blog we did. Peace Ya’ll!

“My lifelong journey with Common’s music started when I was 15, a tumultuous age for a young man. I’m 33 now, a 13 year Marine veteran and brain cancer survivor. My lifetime of Service and Survival has deepened the pool of my consciousness. Commons music still speaks to me the same. Support GOOD music and C.STAR.” – Gunnery Sergeant Edward Schrank

  5. I feel the same way about Common’s music, Sergeant. So inspiring and healing. That is a beautiful friendship you’ve developed. Love it! The show at the Hollywood Bowl was amazing as usual. I’m just used to seeing Common from the front row. I think Common and Maxwell brought the heat and the sunshine back to L.A. It’s been so cold and rainy up til Thurs.
