Rap concert

My son in Atlanta attended T I 's final concert before he went to jail. Ti went to jail not my son. The concert was last Sunday. I didn't realize that my son liked rap. I didn't know who in the beejus TI was. I kept calling him T Pain. For some reason I knew the name T Pain. That must have come from my People magazine. Wanting to maintain communication with my son I read all about the concert. I assumed my son would wear bling and grills to the concert. I thought you wore grills like clip on earrings. On when you needed them,off when you didn't. The son at home corrected that assumption. You have grills permanently placed by a dentist. I don't think my dentist does grills so I didn't know that. The son in Atlanta said no he wasn't wearing bling or grills. I had a sigh of relief. I don't think our dental insurance covers grill placement. Anyway T I went to jail for buying unregistered machine guns. Was the crime for buying the machine guns or the fact they were unregistered? Until I confirm that I won't be flipping off people in traffic because they may have a registered machine gun in their glove box. T I brought all of his 5 children on stage at various points of the concert. I asked my son if the mother or mothers were there. He said he didn't see any. Maybe there wasn't enough room on the stage for all the mothers and the kids and T I and the band. I think rappers have a band don't they? T I is 28 so maybe a year in jail will be good for slowing down his baby making. T I has won Grammys. At first I called them Emmys but the son in Atlanta said" Grammys ,Mom". I can't get a word in edgewise when I get him on the phone. Soulja Boy was at the concert too. He is a young rapper, maybe 18. I don't know if he has won any Emmys or Grammys. I will ask my son in our next phone conversation. I do know that I can't get the song - "Soldier Boy , oh my little Soldier Boy , I love you" - out of my head. I don't think that is where Soulja Boy got his name but the song is great to sing in the shower.

  1. I am so glad I can count on you for information about really important world matters. I don't subscribe to People. Licensed to carry machine guns? I think it's ok as long as it's not a 'concealed weapon'--you have to carry them around in the open so other people can see that you have them...

  2. Soulja Boy's first song that came out 2 years ago had lyrics like "Souljah Boy up in that ho." Maybe he needs to have some jail time to prevent the baby making :)
