OMG. OMG. OMG.
Thanks to my girl Andrea, I now am enlightened to know that the legend himself, STEVIE FREAKIN' WONDER, has announced a small fall 2014 tour of 11 cities - including DC on November 9th!
As soon as I found out, I rang up Dan the Man and let him know of this epic news. He then went into a chronicle of his childhood (one of my favorite traits about my old man) about how when he was 13, he was watching the Ed Sullivan show and Stevie Wonder made his first TV appearance playing 'Fingertips'. He explained his jaw dropping to the floor and thinking 'how can this blind kid make such beautiful music and all I can do is throw a baseball?' These memories and moments in time are what music is all about.
You best believe Andrea, myself, Dan the Man and Peter (Andrea's husband) will be attending this event in funky force.
We'll see how the ticket situation works out - I do have presale access, but if Verizon Center is asking me to pay with my first born child as they often do, I'll have to go the Sting/Paul Simon route and use my scalper hustlin' skills.
