Last week I went to a free "New Music Mondays" show in Millennium Park. (Go free stuff!) The singer-songwriter from Mali who was booked for the night couldn't make it, so a Chicago rock band called Shellac took her place. In the second picture you see the original crowd that was waiting for the singer from Mali. Tourists, young families, the sort of elderly. When Shellac started playing, some of these people got so confused. I felt bad for the little kids who covered their ears because it was so loud. (I hope those tissues you stuffed in your ears did the trick, little kids!) But it was kind of cool to see these two worlds collide: tattoos and skinny jeans mixing it with Birkenstocks and khaki shorts. Are we the world? Yeah, we are the world. (RIP, MJ...)
