Last night a friend was in town and we decided to get up a group and go eat dinner. A friend suggested a new place and we all met up. What our friend didnt share is that this new place (the restaurant has 2 other locations that have been around for awhile) was having a VIP grand opening last night. We get there and we are seated in a crowded dining room with local celebs and elected officials. I wont mention any specific names but it was quite a gathering. Our waitier had the distinct pleasure of telling us our meal was comped. WOW!!! A great time was had by all including some phone calls and ribbing to those that were too busy to make it out last night...
We get home and the end of American Idol was on. They were singing Stevie Wonder songs. I love Stevie. He is a musical genius you know. One of the rocker guys was singing "Higher Ground" and the judges went wild. "You took that and made it your own!" was the universal sentiment of the judges. Evidentially the judges have never heard the 1989 release of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers version of this song. In other words, he didnt really "make it his own"... I still enjoyed it, but was shocked that they seemed to not know what he was doing.
