It’s July 2nd 2016,
I’m headed to the House Of Blues in Dallas for the Human Condition Tour. The Meet And Greet ticket didn’t include a show ticket so I couldn’t get in, I’m teary eyed by the back door to the venue with my 3yr old son and my girl and security respected my tears and just let us stand there as he was packing things away. He grabbed the final cone and said he had to shut the door but didn’t tell us to leave so we walked in and I had been backstage before for the Mick Jenkins concert so I went to the loading dock area near the greenroom, my girl tried to show me the sign said Jon Bellion with an arrow to upstairs, I was too excited that we were inside. A man came and said we were supposed to have a band on our wrists and that we needed to call someone to verify we should be there.
I tried my damndest, Hand Of God tears on the way to the house. Salty. And Today I’m in my feels because I decided to stop replaying the Live At Cove City concert at work and just searched for what might be new from Jon and the Making Of Kid Again popped up. The music just always speaks to the specific moments in life for me and I never know how to explain it but to just truly imagine the kid version of yourself singing to you asking “What Happened To Your Light…” hurts in a different way. Maybe it’s a little Nigerian thing in me, I might be selling up the river crazy…but it is what it is. Only God knows the correlation but I’m glad to have experienced such talent and similarities on this journey. I was a tad bit late to the party but Jim Morrison until Infinity for me.
