Racism or just pride?

Everyone who has been to Cold Stone Creamery knows that when you tip the people there, they sing. Usually it's something like "We got a tip" etc. However in the Cold Stone in Brooklyn, when you tip them they sing a remix of Biggie Smalls' Hypnotize. Not only did I get a tub of Apple Pie a la Cold Stone but I was able to say "Brooklyn stand up!" and no one batted an eye.



Maybe Cold Stone ice cream put the Biggie in Biggie

Céline Dion?

Last night my wife made me go to a Céline Dion concert at MSG. Now Céline Dion can sing, very well at that, but she is not a great performer. She hit her chest and did a lot of the "YES!" fist pull down (like she scored a goal). She also did a few covers of songs by great performers like Tina Turner (it looked sad because although Celine is a better singer, she's no Proud Mary). It was also sad to hear a French Canadian sing Queen's We Are the Campions, because in my mind I knew French Canadians' haven't really won anything - Hockey does not count.

What I did notice is we had GREAT seats. We were 5 rows in front of Barbara Walters, 3 rows in front of Gayle King (Oprah's Gayle, poor woman will always be a sidekick) and 2 rows in front of Celine's husband! You would think he would get better seats. When he sat down people went crazy. I didn't get it, I mean what's he famous for? His balls touched a great singer? Does Ray Jay get the same treatment?

Here's a video of the show I shot from my camera phone.
