Richie Havens invades Ft. Lauderdale

On Sunday January 17, Richie Havens visited the Broward Center for the Performing arts. The legendary performer who opened for the catalytic 1969 music festival Woodstock, proved once more that the music will never stop. Intimate shows such as the one last night only come around every once in a while, a true enjoyment for those who were there. One message reverberated from Richie's lips "We are all related. It's true, it's been scientifically proven!" Joy sprung up on his face every time he said this. It is no wonder that such an amicable individual played for 3 hours as the opener for the Woodstock music festival, surely everyone loved his version of "Freedom" then, as it was last night. Music festivals have been bringing people together, from all classes, races, and origins. We are all one under the beating sun. Richie knew this then, and can now say it with the backing of Scientists, we are all related.

NORML Benefit at Tobbacco Road, Miami

January 17 NORML and Tobacco Road in Miami, held their 12th annual benefit concert for the legalization of Medicinal Marijuana in the state of Florida. Well over 420 people attended the event, and hopefully signed the petition needed to "Legalize it!" With doors opening at 4 pm and closing at 3 am, visitors were sure to have their fill of live music. Attendees also had the chance to listen to speakers, who shared their experience as Medicinal Marijuana users, defense attorneys for the cause, as well as activists and victims of persecution. It was definitely a good vibe all around, as people gathered to listen, and support one another. I would like to honestly say that now I have a really good reason to deal with the traffic and Agro behavior in Miami. Tobacco Road is a venue that really delivers.
