So what'd I do for lunch today? Stood 15 feet away from Stevie Wonder while he grooved.
Creative Artist Agency (who reps Stevie) is in the building next door to mine (part of the big Century Plaza complex). They sent around a last-minute email today at 12:30 announcing that Stevie Wonder would be playing in the park area behind the building at 1 p.m. (to announce his late-summer small venue tour).

He sounded freaking amazing, and played the following songs:

Higher Ground
My Cheri Amor
Overjoyed
Signed Sealed Delivered
Ribbon in the Sky
Superstition

Sweet. It's good to be an Angelino.

2. He. Was. SOOOOO Good.
One of my faves, too, and I'd never had the chance to see him live before.

I'll be worthless for the rest of the day. :7

9. Had to add this, passed on to me by another DUer
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner. Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going"? Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad. How's your golf"? Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that going right now." Stevie says, "I always find that when my golf swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."

Tiger says, "You play golf??" Wonder says, "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years." Woods says, "But you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?" Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again, I play the ball toward his voice." "But how do you putt?" asks Woods. "Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice."

Woods asks, "What's your handicap"? Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer." Woods, incredulous, says, "We've got to play around sometime." Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."

Woods thinks it over and says, "Okay, I'm all for that. When would you like to play"?

Stevie says, "Pick a night."



If you see him again, though, ask him if he prefers an aisle or window when he's flying.
