James Brown tribute concert!

Yesterday I went to BB Kings to see a James Brown tribute concert by Charles Bradley and his awesome band. This concert was AMAZING! I loved every minute of it. His impersonation, wardrobe, facial expressions, dancing, everything was on point. I really felt this was the real James Brown. I never got the chance to see the real God Father Of Soul live and this concert was as close as it gets. Sometimes I wish I was born in the times when music was great like this. People tell me I have an old soul, I don't care what it is I just love and know what's GOOD MUSIC. I was glued to Charles Bradley performance and after I left I kept talking like James Brown. I went to McDonalds  and said "Im ready to do my thang, can i get a number 1! (Singing) seeeeweeeeooooooooo! ...........  HEH!" Overall I had a blast and it was great to see my two friends enjoy it as much as me. Check out the video on the blog its basically what I saw last nigh. Word of advice before I go Support the arts and go do different things, the club and liquor will always be there ................ HEH!

Sorry

In case you was wondering this is not a picture of me as a baby. This is a regular google image of a sad brown baby lol; and no I did not type in the google search bar "Brown baby sad". I have neglected my blog for quite some weeks and I am truly sorry to myself and anyone that was a fan of this blog. I've been very busy for the past four months with personal life and working on 3 film projects. But! im back and I took this week off to relax, think, and enjoy life and I absolutely hate it! lol. I am losing my mind with this free time. Yesterday I borrowed my niece toy carriage and baby doll. I went to central park and walked with random white people with kids just to do something (Dont judge me). People I am running out of things to do! My mom broke her wrist 2 weeks ago so now she has a cast on her arm. She came to me and said "Ricky! write sumshing on mi cast" So I took the marker and drew a big black dick on it. I said "Thats for making me go to school with those fake ass sneakers that said "Air" in bold letters, with a popped bubble in the back. It sounded like someone with bad asthma every time I walk. As you can see this week has been great for me : ). I did owe this week to myself before I start to work and hit these open mics. I would like to say THANK YOU! to everyone who supports me, it really means a lot and I really appreciate it. Once again sorry for taking long to post something. This week I will post the things I was going through the past 4 months like great shows I seen, working on 3 film Projects, and the biggest opportunity I received so far in my life. Heres a hint ............ COMEDY CENTRAL!

Regenerate

By Cornelius Newman

Lost in temptation confused remised blinded by passion driven
Egotistic about self pursue pleasure and bliss
Measured in death who was I, scarred and marred
Mangled by man my soul was maimed defected defamed
Brought before the counsel detained tortured my spirit
Ridiculed made a spectacle labeled a fool haunted by failure
Mission aborted moral compass distorted my prayers seem rhetoric
Too far you seem in cement shoes chasing dreams
Poverty‘s prodigy a product of humility
Seeking reparations for depravation I‘m breathing for you
Resuscitated inhaling greatness I offer this life
What else could I sacrifice so let your essence reside
Crying inside dying inside angels shed tears and dance
Heaven‘s amused gazing with pity singing the blues optimistically view
My shameless attempt to elude this revolution
They said it will not be televised
But they apparently prophesied through blind eyes
Deceived since my innocence they disseminated lies
Through anesthetized minds yet by the truth they‘re paralyzed
Afflicted many of times since my youth, but yet I still survive.

Young black and gifted my soul deprived I ran but couldn‘t‘ hide
Renounced denied lied and chastised unfaithful and unyielding
Broken but unwilling to be mended
I‘m unfinished business lacking discipline
Poor in spirit yet consumed in pride rich in mercy
Still your grace abides I could have died
But you remain faithful and true you can‘t deny you
With arms stretched wide east to west
Apart from you drawn by love I am a part of you
Forgiven redeemed bound to me for eternity you‘ll never part
Covered in my mother‘s womb skillfully wrought
How precious your thoughts washed in blood
Given clean hands and a pure heart
My life is your canvas this temple your work of art

My first applause break!

PS: I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT ME, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU! : )
