storytime with luna
Around this time last year, I went to an Aminé concert with my cousins. For reader information, Aminé is a hella banging rapper from Portland, and his parents are Ethiopian immigrants. During his set he had this part where he would bring someone up on stage to sign his "tour pants". When he prompted the crowd for this bit, he selected a white girl to come up on stage and sign the pants. Logically, when artists bring people in the crowd on stage they are either selected beforehand or chosen from whoever is closest to the barricade for safety and efficiency reasons. I remember when the girl got up on stage, a group of guys behind me got mad, and I heart one of them shout, "She's not even from Detroit! She probably lives in Royal Oak!". Now considering that me and my cousins are all kids too scared to push to the front at concerts because we don't wanna get stomped out, it was ob vious that Aminé wasn't going to select anybody far back in the crowd l
