Anyone at the Jason Mraz concert last night understands what it takes to accumulate 1000 true fans.
Just before his last song of the evening, Jason hummed and hawed through a few parting words. Lost among the Toronto shout outs was a simple phrase that struck a chord.
It’s a pretty cool thing to acknowledge that someone is alive. Something as simple as saying, “Hey man… peace!”
I think there was once upon a time when marketers tried to give you that. Ads bereft of “Life can be better for you too!” At first, it was something to hold on to. You could buy your way into a better place.
I wonder at what point this style of speaking became the equivalent of saying, “My mom thinks I’m cool.”
I was actually supposed to be at that concert… i was looking forward to it for months but that morning I got sick! Sucks, I know… but my friend was holding up his cell phone for most of the show and I ended up downloading a bunch of his live shows from archive.org. It sounded awesome!!

It was amazing… a magician, all 3 acts on stage for the last few songs… and of course, Mraz doing his typical ad libs. I’m glad you got to see it in some way.
