gladys knight and the pips (and a cameo from bebe winans and gladys' brother bubba) just put on the show of a lifetime at the hollywood bowl. boy, was that great. bubba doing al green's 'let's stay together' and of course, that 'midnight train to georgia' was groovin' along. and couldn't have shared it with anyone better, those kind of conversations on the bus back about life and growing up and all the big things that make me feel still feel like a kid sometimes looking at the big, wild, scary world out there. everything was in perspective and wow, life's rich. evenings at the bowl are summer.
