Sunburnt and soaked. After waiting almost 4 hours in the blazing sun we entered the Apollo. For the most part the crowds were pleasant although there were a few that either wouldn't shut-up or just couldn't handle standing amongst others "don't touch me"... really? There were a lot of us! We danced to old MJ songs, listened to Al Sharpton cheer us on, a moment of silence... then out into the pouring rain. What a day! I'd do it again. You know I had to be there. I think I have a memory for all the songs. How many Saturdays did we waste skating to MJ in the basement! nice.

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
