With some time on my hands, let me tell you about yesterday. I was dragged along to an open-air concert with a succession of acts, though we only watched two. First Missy Elliott - supposed to play half an hour, she arrived twenty minutes late, sang two and a half songs and then the organizers cut her music halfway through a song as her time was up, leaving her to walk off in a storm of boos.
Next was Snoop Dogg. What a character, he looks and acts like something out of a cartoon. A real old-fashioned rabble-rouser, playing Mr Cool or, as he would say, Mr Mutha****in Cool. At times it was like a children"s party - "now let"s hear all the sexy ladies", but he was actually very entertaining and played 45 minutes and performed loads of songs, including everyone"s favourite I Want To **** You. I probably wouldn"t go again, but I"m glad I saw it. He certainly saved the show from a lot of refund claims.
