Matisyahu in Chicago, music and blog media

People occasionally send me links to a local newspaper articles about Matisyahu. Inevitably I find them boring. Confronted by the Hasidic reggae freak the newspapers have an unenviable task of concocting a brew consisting of 40% political correctness, 50% stereotypes and 10% unintelligible interviews. Contrast that with the live sophisticated spot on reporting one reads in the blogs and you will understand that this medium is the future of communication.

By the way of illustration you can find a top shelf reports about Matisyahu Chicago concert, one by Psycho Toddler and another by Velvel. Both have the level of sophistication about music, Jewish music and Jewish culture that is unmatched at any old media publications. Chop 'em Down boys!

P. S. By the way I was having lunch today with friends. There was a 15 years old kid who claimed that when he was at Matisyahu concert at the New Jew in Boston he understood 85% of the words! Is it physically possible to understand 85% of the words on the first listen?
