The Times

Well, to start, I am not really sure what needs to be said. I just got back from the Drake concert and have some mixed emotions. First off, learn how to finish a damn song. Don't get me wrong, I think Drake is hot shit right now, but his live performances don't cut it. For the first 10 songs, all he did was sing the chorus and one verse of the song. He picked it up towards the end and finished song. Props to Evan Turner for declaring himself for the NBA draft in such a fashion. Drake, however needs to take some pointers from my man Mike Posner. Senior at Duke University and already signed a record deal. I've seen this guys live once already and have just bought tickets to see him again in two weeks. He plays to the crowd and makes you feel the music. He wore an OSU basketball jersey during his last performance here. Here is a link to one of his best songs.

  2. Joey, your blog already has such a strong persona! I see a whole new side of you in this writing. This post and the format of your blog in general cracked me up. I also like that you just sort rolled with it, completely going away the prompt. I can already see that you're very much going to make this blog space your own, and I like that a lot.

    Also, I have a hard time taking Drake seriously because he used to star on Degrassi Jr. High. Are you familiar with that show? It's all sorts of lame, but in a pretty hilarious way. My little brother and I get addicted to watching (and thus mocking...) it whenever I go home! :)
