First post.............."End of the Road"

Ok, so most of you know that Monday was MLK Day. Well here in Memphis, where his tragic and untimely assassination took place, we take the day pretty seriously. The Memphis Grizzlies held their 6th annual MLK Day celebration. The game and events were televised on TNT. They honored two NBA stars for their work in civil and human rights. This year's recipients were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bob Lanier.

Now on to the most exciting part. Boyz II Men sang the National Anthem and did a three song medley at half time! I barley made it to my seat in time for the Anthem. The group might be down one member, but their harmonies were as tight as ever. I remember going to the Boyz II Men, MC Hammer & TLC show in the early 90's. I loved them then, and I loved them Monday night.

As you can see, they looked pretty dapper in their black (matching mind you) pinstriped suits. It was great to see one of my favorite boy bands of the 90's do their thing at a Grizzlies game!

For those of you who'd like the "set list" The Boyz started with two 4-Tops songs "Same Old Song" & "Reach Out." Once that song and dance, yes choreographed dance, was over they did an great acappella (sp? anyone? google doesn't like this word at all) version of "End of the Road." (Hence the blog name :)

Thanks Shawn for bringing Boyz II Men to Memphis! They were great!
